You may have trouble convincing him with the myriad answers here, but ... recalling my visits to Brazil in '01, '02, and '06, I'll put it like this: HOE (as in tool) NAHL ZHEEN (rhymes with "sheen") YOU, with the accent on JEAN. The"dinho" is a diminutive suffix, so the English equivilant of the name is Ronnie. My gal in Brazil likes that suffix and a variation,-zinho; she says them tenderly.



Hear here Brazilian vowels and consonants: youngbloods.org/portuguese/pronunciation.phtml



(LATER) What "Aدإئسآذد® ♥ pituca22" sez elsewhere about the strong R seems right, actually. The H precedes An "a" an "i" or an "e".

I don't speak Portugese, but I've heard before with names like Ronaldo that you kinda put an "H" sound before the "R" so Ronaldinho sounds more like "Hor-nal-de-neo", its kinda hard to write it out but I could pronounce it like the Portugese/Brazillians do.

I'm Brazilian

and I am here in Brazil,



so I think that nobody best of me to say this..............



Ronaldinho



first= Ro

this "Ro" is strong



so,

the correct form, is:



RRo - now - deem - io



for us brazilians

single Ronaldinho,

but for you American



RRO - NOW - DEEM - IO
