HelpRe: Katica (m) -- pronunciation question
in reply to a message by Marija Luminitsa
Is the "c" in Katica pronounced like with a "k" or a "ts" (in English) sound? And is the stress on the first or second syllable.
I assume Katica is a variant of Katharina / Catherine / etc. Is that correct? It's very intriguing. :-)

It's pronounced 'KAH-tee-tzah'. Audio here: http://www.forvo.com/search/katica/
And it's usually used as a nickname for Katarina or Kata, although it was sometimes used on it's own. I have a great-aunt whose full name is Katica (her sisters are Danica, Marica and Janica). The -ica forms (diminutive suffix) as full names are dated now.
