it's one syllable if you pronounce it like americans and british, ZOOSE.

but the original word is greek, and you don't say DEUS as DOOSE. You say DAY-oos

right?

yes, i know, most people don't even think about or care about this sort of thing.

i think ZAY-YOOS sounds better and i'm deliberately going to pronounce it that way because reasons.

just like I say NOSTR the way bulgarians would say it, or latins, who even use the word, NOSTRA is literally the word for "our".

i also say "tao" DOW because that's how the chinese say it.

how in the bejesus did "peking" ever get to be the latinised version for Bee-DJING?

Wade-Giles are retards and so are all of you. GFY i say it how it should be, idgaf if that confuses you, i'm not gonna talk to you very often anyway, and the text is teh same.

Words are just agreements that we’ve all made. They aren’t real. Your energy is better spent elsewhere than getting worked up over language.

maybe so but talking about the history and phonetics is science.
