Topic	How to pronounce "Z" - Zee or Zed?
darkknight109 07/27/25 11:21:40 PM #16:	Damn_Underscore posted... The or is not pronounced by the singer tbh OK. And? That's being done for lyrical purposes (same way you'll hear words be left unfinished in English songs if the singer is holding a long note and the word ends with a plosive or fricative sound). Vocalizing a sokuon at the end of a held note the way it would have to be done here would be challenging and/or sound awful, so it's just left off. The singer is still singing (ze - rhymes with meh or set), not / (zi - rhymes with bee or tree). The latter would be used for the American pronunciation of "zee", the former for the European "zed/zet". --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:985910134] in How to pro...
