ArchivesRe: Prn of Amadeo
in reply to a message by Oona
Amadeo is pronounced ah-mah-DAY-oh in Spanish and Italian. I have no idea where ah-MAH-dee-oh came from, unless you seperate it a bit as ama dios (loves God).

In Spanish, it is not -DAY-, it is -DEH-. The Spanish vowels are all pure, short, not semidipthong:
a = as in "water"
e = as in "end"
i = as in "keen"
o = as in "home"
u = as in "choose"
