Re: How do you pronounce Perdita and Megaera?
in reply to a message by Ismene
The English (Shakespearean) pronunciation of Perdita is PUR-di-tə (short "i" sound, not "ee"). That is how it is pronounced in The Winter's Tale. I pronounce it PUR-di-tə because it is a Shakespearean name.
Megaera is pronounced mə-JEER-ə in English.
Megaera is pronounced mə-JEER-ə in English.
