[Opinions] Re: How do YOU pronounce Katarina
in reply to a message by Siri
I'd go with kah-tah-REE-na just talking about the name, because the only context that I ever say it aloud is in reference to my great grandmother Catarina, who was Italian.On an American kid, I'd say it kat-a-REE-na off the bat if I was, say, reading it from a list or something of that nature. I'd feel like a tool for affecting a foreign pronunciation in that context unless specifically told otherwise.
