Hi everyone,

Can you please tell me the Greek pronunciation of the name Thais? Can you also please tell me if this name is pronounced differently by Portuguese people?

Well, this is not a name used by Portuguese people, only by Brazilian. They pronounce it, however, as TAH-EEZ.

I wasn't born there and my mother never taught me.

ETA: I know some things and sentances but not fluently.
