[Opinions] No, it's so-le-DAHD.
Exactly like BtN says. If there's a D at the end of a Spanish word and no accent mark anywhere, the emphasis is always on the last syllable. And a D is never pronounced as TH, and an E never as EE.

NoDs actually do sometimes make that th sound in Spanish words, I think when they begin a word or syllable. That's not technically how they're *supposed* to be prn, but languages are funny that way.

TH like an English TH? I've only ever heard that in Spain Spanish Cs and Zs (and Andalusian Ss). But okay, I'm only really familiar with the European Spanish. I can't tell about all the different regional American variants, as I've only had a Mexican teacher for that.

Mafiosa is close enoughMost people can hardly detect a difference in how the D is pronounced. It also depends on where the speaker is from.
