Pronunciation of "Zidane"

[Quindiana Jones]

I don't call him Zidane. Just...y'know...in case you were wondering....

And also, there is no way one "should" pronounce a word. It all depends on where you're from and what you've got used to saying. With me it would be Zi-dan.

#2 is for me! my bro said it so then i agreed with it and now i cant stop.

like tifa on AC they pronounce it te-fah but i say tifah

[Yuffie514]

i use pronunciation #2.

[f f freak]

I use the 2nd one because I believe it sounds better.

[Suikojowy]

Zih-Dan

Zih-Dane is probably the right one, but I already pronounced Dan thanks to Zinedine Zidane

(Cue horrible Euro 2004 flashback)

2-1!

[Pouring Rain]

I've always called him Zih-dayne.

[Azotus]

I'm for Zid (Like Cid but with a "zzzz...") and DANE, like great DANE. Zidane. It's probally like UBER english, but w/e.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

I've always used the english pronunciation for his name, So I say it as Zih-day-n.

[KentaRawr!]

I'm silly so I call him the second one.

[Ender]

zih-dane (as in Great Dane)

though I probably give that first syllable too much credit...it's actually closer to 'z-dane'

Rhyming with 'pain' sounds much cooler than however *soccer* snobs pronounce the name of that French guy--who is also Algerian and whose name is Arabic--meaning "Zidane" is just one spelling variation and not necessariy a good cue for how to pronounce the name.

[Sefie1999AD]

I pronounce it like the French football player, just with a hint of an "e" at the end, because I'm Scandinavian

Yeah, I either pronounce his name "Zih-dahn", or if I want to pronounce it in a Finnish way, I add the "e" in the end, i.e. "Zih-dah-neh".

[darksword12]

I say "zi-dayne" just 'cause I think it sounds better.
