How do you pronounce Ronaldinho...? |
My friend and i were arguing about it and i want to prove him wrong Ho-Nal-Jeen-O It looks weird but trust me, I'm Brazilian and I'm bilingual in English and Portuguese Ron - al - deen - yo Roh-nahl-dee-niyoh I don't speak Portugese, but I've heard before with names like Ronaldo that you kinda put an "H" sound before the "R" so Ronaldinho sounds more like "Hor-nal-de-neo", its kinda hard to write it out but I could pronounce it like the Portugese/Brazillians do. Row - Nal - Deen - Yo Ronaldinho... It's portuguese and spanish accent.. cool name.. huh? You may have trouble convincing him with the myriad answers here, but ... recalling my visits to Brazil in '01, '02, and '06, I'll put it like this: HOE (as in tool) NAHL ZHEEN (rhymes with "sheen") YOU, with the accent on JEAN. The"dinho" is a diminutive suffix, so the English equivilant of the name is Ronnie. My gal in Brazil likes that suffix and a variation,-zinho; she says them tenderly. Hear here Brazilian vowels and consonants: youngbloods.org/portuguese/pro... (LATER) What "A丿廿卅爻丌匕丿庐 鈾?pituca22" sez elsewhere about the strong R seems right, actually. The H precedes An "a" an "i" or an "e". the-next-best-thing-since-pele |
