[Poll #804833]

Thanks!

ETA: Curious, I looked it up in Webster's to see if they had the thing you can listen to, and they do. Both pronunciations they have are different than the one I use and have always heard. Hmmm... LOL!

If you listen, please do it AFTER doing the poll. I want honesty, not cheating. :)

Careful with names like that. =/
My name is Soleil, and 1 out of 5 people say it right.

its so-lay right?

i meant "uh" as the last syllable instead of "ah"

and I just listened to the webster's thing and I've never heard it either of those ways either. When we read Don Quixote in Spanish, we said it similar to how I tried to spell it out in the poll.

Yes, I agree with your way also.

I think most people know it from the Broadway musical Man of La Mancha. If you look it up on amazon.com you can hear excerpts and how they pronounce the name. I never heard the dictionary's pronunciations either.

I know, I'm surprised by that dictionary!

I didn't bother to check what Webster had to say about it, so I was shocked to find out that the way I've always pronounced it was how others pronounce it as well. :)

"Dul-sin-ay-uh" (I know that's not a very pretty way of trying to write it phonetically. Sorry!)

I seem to be the only oone with a classical Latin background! *grin*
