One syllable at a time.

Except I don’t even know what the syllables are.

Phoenetically:

“Sah-tie-ah-vaj-less-warren”

Essentially you say it as it’s spelled. Suth-yuh-vagi-swaran. The “h” in “yuh” is silent. The “th” in “Suth” is like when you say the name “Theo.” PS I’m Indian.

What sort of G in “vagi,” @PnL? And where is the primary accent?

@PnL Thank you for sharing that. The “i” in “vagi” – is it pronounced similar to “ice”, “glee” or “sit”?

jlm11f's avatar

I thought this might be better than trying to explain how to pronounce it.

@PnL Thank you very much!
