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.
