Re: Dahlia or Dalia
in reply to a message by Dahlia or Dalia
I live in the US, so I'm not sure how they pronounce it in England, but I pronounce it more like dahl-ya, the first part rhyming with call or fall, not hay or okay. I also don't space the second part out much like lee-ah, it sort of gets mushed together. I prefer the Dahlia spelling, like the flower, and I think is more like how you're describing you want it pronounced. Dalia looks much more like it would be pron. day-lee-ah not dah-lee-ah.
