HelpRe: Marzena
in reply to a message by Sadie-Janae
Woah, you don't say the r? Cool! I like it.
For some reason I want to say Marzena Quinn, which is kind of random. I would also like Marzena June.

How do you know you don't pronounce the "r?" Sorry if I missed something. It's a new name for me and I'd love to know how to say it correctly. Thanks! :0)

It's new to me too. The others are right, I just clicked the name's page. :)

Yeah. Forehead slap moment for me. I guess I need a new prescription. :0P

On the name's page, the pronunciation guide says it's "mah-ZHE-nah".

The pronunciation given in the BtN entry for Marzena says it's mah-ZHE-nah, no R. However, my understanding of Polish is that "rz" makes a sound that does not exist in English but can be approximated by "zh". So the R is technically pronounced, it just doesn't make the same sound it does in English.

Ah. Of course. I must need a new prescription. Those letters are so small on my screen.
Thanks! :00
