How do you pronounce Zidane's name?

[SapphireStar]

I pronounce it same way as the famous soccer player

Same here. So I pronunce it as Zee-dane.

 

[ivy321]

i always pronounce it z-eye-day-n if that makes sence?

xxxtanxxx

 

[DJ GloriX]

ZIDY! =p just joking
Gues I pronounce like Zee-dane aswell, or sy-dane, something between that, damn dutch accent...

 

[BustaMo]

I've only ever thought of one way to pronounce Zidane's name and that's exactly how it's spelled: "Zi-dane". Not really that difficult. The "i" has a short sound to it, and the "a" has a long sound to it.

 

[Hayate]

I pronounce it Zi-Dane. I can't see no other way to pronounce it and have it seem right.

 

[Cis]

I think that zidane is how you accually pronounce it. At least it looks like it

 

[Link21]

I prefer to pronounce it the way it looks.

Well with me I pronounced it Zee-Dain, and what I think with the FF series is unless they speak it in the game you pronounce it however you think it should be, cause at the end of the day you take the role of the main character so in a way its your story.

Even if I know the right pronounciation sometimes I still don't pronounce it properly. Despite me knowing the pronounciations of Yuffie and Tidus, I still pronounces Yuffie as like Yuff-ay (Pronounce "Yuff" similar to "Huff") and Tidus like Tid-us (Pronounce "Tid" similar to "Cid"). Some people would probably adapt and pronounce it the proper way but I stick with my pronounciations since it sounds best to me.

 

[Pagan]

Aye, I still use "Juf-fee" instead of KH's "Yoofie", as well as "Tai-dus" instead of KH's "Tee-dus". For Zidane, I say "Zee-dane". Simple.

 

[Rockman X]

I say it Zih-dein. I think it's pronounced zee-dah-nay, but that just sounds silly. And i always say yuff-ee instead of yoof-ee and tai-duhs, the real pronunciations sound silly as well.

 

[Bloodhawk]

I've always called him zih-DAYNE. "Zih" as in "zip". Ah, but I hate when the real pronunciation is not obvious.

 

[Final Fantasy 4 Lyfe]

I pronounce it Zi-dain

 

[L]

I didn't know we had so many threads that were lulz worthy. xD

I think that it's pronounc Zih-dane.

 

[Bambi]

i pronounced it ZI-DAN, mainly because of zinedine zidane. I think that 'e' on the end would of made me pronounce it different if it wasn't for football.....

 

[Esp]

ZI-DAN, just because otherwise it makes him sound like a 'Dane' or something. (You know, the godamn huge frikkin' dogs) Plus, I know of one other real life person with the same name which is pronounced in that way, so I guess it's only logical.

Plus, if Zidane were able to headbutt as an in-game attack...

 

[eisprinz]

Zi - dahn
ジタン

Originally, I said Zee - dayn, before I saw the kana for his name.

 

[Davey Gaga]

I tend to hover between Zih-Dahn and Zih-Dane.

 

[ibbylove]

I've always said Zid Ain, short I, long A.

 

[Marshy]

i pronounced it Zi -dan like the soccer player that headbutts players
