"Says" Lots of people pronounce it "Says" like Bays or Case. But no. It is pronounced as "Ses". Like Kess or Bless. So just drag it a bit so it wouldn't sound like SES or Ces. "SEZZ" |

Naybahood: If my comment is ethnocentric,the OP too should be called racist. The OP mentioned Nigeria of all place but he's right. Why am I wrong for just mentioning south? My comment came as an add up to his post. Now those living outside the country know which part of the country prounce the worst. It ain't what you meant. |
