I think most people say Pasific, not Pazifik. I can't think of an example where I would pronounce c like z. Your point stands, regardless.

- majewsky 2y agoMaybe he's just German? "Pazifik" is in fact the German word for this ocean, as a shorthand for the proper name "Pazifischer Ozean".
- SvenL 2y agoYes, you got me, I‘m German. German is even worse when it comes to the letter c. Chemie vs. Choreografie… and I know there are lunatics who pronounce it „Kemie“, but still. For non German speaker, both words start with „ch“, one is commonly pronounced softly like „shemie“ while the other one is pronounced like a „k“ - similar to the English choreography. Even in English „chemistry“ is pronounced similar with „k“.
