Put "Zi" in front of it.

There you go.

Wow

You even used the IPA transcription and you're still wrong.

Ill just call him Gary.


(Gary only exists in FF1 2 3)

I use a typical Swedish pronunciation --- "See-DAWN-eh"
(there are no Z-sounds in Swedish and we don't have any "silent E's" like in English).

I suppose the English pronunciation is "zee-DONE" or "zee-DANE" or something, though.

Wait, there are people here that don't pronounce it Zi-dahn?

To me, "See-DAWN-eh" feels more natural, probably because that sounds much more "Swedish" than "Zi-dahn".

It's supposed to be Gitan (pronounced roughly "Zhee-tong"), French for "gypsy", written as ジタン (Jitan) in Japanese. I always pronounce it like that (and I call him that whenever I play the game, too, when I'm feeling mature enough to not just rename him "stupid" or "idiot" so I get him saying "It's me, stupid!").
