How would you pronounce this? I have an actor friend in a play about "Gone with the Wind", who needs to know how to pronounce this in several languages.

Explanation:
"A" as in "far", "i" as in "him". All vowel sounds are short.

My colleagues say there's a "d"-sound in there, but in normal speech, you don't pronounce it.

Actually, I think the stress on /tata/ should be softer than on /vinən/.

Explanation:

Hi Spanruss,

its pretty straight forward pronounciation. The 'a' needs to sound like the 'a' i the English word "far", but keep it short.

You can always skype me if you want to hear it pronounced :)

Good luck!
