[Opinions] It's not RAY-nee-uh
in reply to a message by Akua Topaz
I didn't realize that everyone will pronounce it Ray-nee-uh. It's Ruh-nee-uh (in the first syllable the vowel is something like "a" in the word car, but shorter). And the "r" in Arabic doesn't sound like the English "r", but like the Spanish one. I think that the pronounciation itself makes a lot of difference... When it is pronounced the English way I must admit that it sounds trashy.
