Hmm. Is Salvador Dalí pronounced differently than Dolly or Dalai? The wikipedia page has "dah-lee" as the phonetic, and https://www.google.com/search?q=pronounce+salvador+dali https://www.google.com/search?q=pronounce+salvador+dali sounds the same as https://www.google.com/search?q=pronounce+dalai+lama https://www.google.com/search?q=pronounce+dalai+lama. So it seems like all three are identical.
- ToValueFunfetti 4y agoThe emphasis in Dalí is on the second syllable, which is at least different from Dolly. I've always pronounced Dalai Lama the same as I would Dolly Lama, but Cambridge dictionary is saying it should be Da-lay in both US and UK pronunciations. Tangentially, it seems like most of the results for both searches were autogenerated with TTS programs. I wonder if our pronunciations will shift towards TTS mistakes over time. Probably not, these videos only have a few thousand views, but neat if true.
- mejutoco 4y agoDalí has the stress on the last syllable, hence the accent (but Dall-e probably not). In my native language Dalai is pronounced "Da-lie", like another comment says above. TIL Dolly is pronounced so similarly. I thought the Do sounded like Doberman, but apparently not. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dolly https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dolly
