Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Posted September 18, 2005 OK. Since we are playing the name game I will gather up my courage and let the group see my ignorance but just exactly how do you pronounce Zsolt? > > > Quote
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Posted September 18, 2005 I've never been told how to pronounce his name, but in my head, it sounds like Z O(long O sound) L T, like bolt, dolt, colt, molt, etc. If he's " listening " , he's bound to get a good chuckle out of us trying to figure out his name. I'm sending him a nice long letter tomorrow, plus an interesting CD. I know he really has an appreciation for music, and is very talented himself in several instruments. Hugs to all, Laurel Quote
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Posted September 18, 2005 Well, Laurel, me too. At least that's what I always thought but then I got to thinking (that always brings on a problem for me) maybe the Z is silent. It is in some words--don't ask. I can't think of any right now but you know what I mean. How about the T in General Tso's Chicken?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Posted September 18, 2005 Laerel, I think you are right. In English it would be prononced " Zolt " , Similar to " bolt " or " colt " with " z " pronounced as in " zoo " . However, I believe it is a Hungarian name and, in many Europian languages, " z " is pronounced as " ts " as in " cats " or " bats " . Therefore, it could be prononced as " tsolt " . I guess Zsolt would have to tell us which pronounciation he prefers.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Posted September 18, 2005 Laurel, I'm sorry I misspelled your name. I heard the cow bell announcing that it was time for supper so I didn't time to proof read my e-mail before sending it. I also misspelled European and pronounced. Oy is me.
