Can somebody please tell me how to pronounce the spanish word "sea"

serrabecerra · 05-07-2007, 07:41 AM

I am assuming that you want the english phonetic?
If yes, e sounds like eh in egg and a is ah like in apple.
S is s like in something.
I hope this helps.

You pronounce it like "seh-ah", I think it's close to the pronunciation of the animal "bear".

on if you say bear with a boston accent. but it's what the dentist says: "Say 'ahhh'"

hahah, I liked the boston accent comment. Im a proud Massachusetts native and missing that accent here in South America.

True, i agree, "say ahhh"

Yeah, the Boston accent remark was cute and accurate. But I must disagree with the dentist's "Say AAHH". The "a" in sea is short, open and pure, like all Spanish vowels, as the A in Andes. It cannot be long as in AAHH unless you like your Spanish spoken with a thick Boston accent. So sea is say-A as in Andes.
