"Atlanta, We Have a Pronunciation!"



Pri3 from the WNBA Brasil Blog writes in the comments about the correct pronunciation of Erika de Souza's name.

about erika`s last name.. sounds like "sOW-za" ..and believe me cuz im brazilian :)

I guess we have to give the WNBA's announcers more credit that we wanted to. The "Sou" in de Souza is pronounced like "soul" and the "o" sound is a lot like that in "window".

    I wonder if the name DeSouza is the Portuguese parallel to the Spanish name Sosa. I know that's how it was pronounced when she was with the Sun. Hmmm... if that 'ou' is pronounced the way 'o' is in Spanish, maybe I'll be able to read some of the Brazilian blogs a little more easily. /ramble
