How do I pronounce this?

[lizziebell]

My new horse is Dutch Bred and on her KWPN passport her name is Zoredia. I know nothing about the dutch language so how do I pronounce this?

Do you think its just Zoor - dee - ar. Like Claudia but with a Z ?

Her dam's name is Oredia - not very original just sticking another letter in front !

 

[Brandy]

I'd say zor - eeee- dia.

Like Claudia with a big eeeee in the middle!

Well i think i would pronounce her dams name as Orr-e-dia so would pronounce hers as Zoor-e-dia!

I'd go with "Zoor - ay - dia" if trying to mimic the national tongue. Or call it what you like as it's yours!

 

[Weezy]

Zor-ED-ee-ah - that is how you would pronounce it in Spanish anyway

 

[zefragile]

Zor-ED-ee-ah - that is how you would pronounce it in Spanish anyway

Or Thor-ED-ee-ah if you're in lisp-land Spain

How many people are now saying these names out loud I feel silly now.

How many people are now saying these names out loud I feel silly now.

And in various language accents now too!!

Doesn't google translator have an audio thing on it?

Thanks - that's kind of what I was trying to figure. How it would be said in the native language. Officially going for Zoor - ay - dia
