Nosy or Nosey

[Justin Carl]

This thread will be answer very quickly I'm presuming.
In several post and websites it has been is spelled both ways.
Which one is correct? I just dont want to sound ignorant if I spell it wrong.

-thanks Justin

Nosy.

There are also some accents that should technically be used in some of the locale names.

Nossi-Bé is also used on some old maps.

Nosy is the right word.
Nosey is a bad translation in english...
Nosy is "island" in malagasy, Be (for example) is "big". All the islands are called Nosy in Madagascar + other word.
