Pronunciation Of The Word "kazaa"

[secfan]

I know this is probably a question that may be unnecessary and probably won't affect anything, but for the sake of it, here we go...
Is there a "proper" pronunciation of the word "Kazaa"??? (Maybe FastTrack or Sharman had read it out before.) Just wanted to know, as I have heard heaps of people pronounce it in different ways, some pronoucing Kazaa, as if it rhymed with "bizarre", some pronounce Kazaa as if it rhymed with how most people would pronounce words such as Dazza (nick for Darren), Bazza (nick for Barry), Tazza (Tasmania) and etc., and some pronounce Kazaa like "Car Zar"... I'm sure there's millions of other pronunciations, so please reply them here if anyone is bothered... B)

Kaaah-zaah

All together now: Kaaah-zaah

first off, Why is this in the development section?

2ndly, Are you saying the kaaa is supposed to be said longer then the zaaa?

Correct: Kah-Zaaaah ; spelled: Kazaa

Wrong:Kaaaah-Zah ; spelled: Kaaza

Emphasis on the second syllable, of course.

[VB]

Emphasis on 'zaa'.

Trouble is that in English the 'a' is pronounced differently as in Dutch.

Say 'ah' (dentist).
'kah'-'zaah'

Ka-ZAAHH.

Although I have heard it said wrong a many time. Everything from ka-za to KAY-zee.

This reminds me of the preivew of the new movie with Mike Myers, where he says you put the wrong em"phas"is on the wrong sy"labbel". Pretty funny stuff from the looks of the preview.

So does it sound something like "Car Zar"???

You have a point there, I didn't notice it.
This should be in the Lounge to have fun with it.


All together again: Kah - Zaah.
