How do you pronounce Zealot?

Well...? I was pronouncing it the way it was spelled but then my friend is like "You're saying it wrong." How do you pronounce it? I've heard people use it both ways. Zealot? Or Zelet?
English

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Zoomzoom97 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HLG Amber Clad It's pronounced "Zelot". I learned this back a few years ago when playing Mechassault 2 and heard one of the main characters say it.[/quote] technoloy, its where your form, the base is zeal, not zel, but still alot say zelot, it depends on what you were raised in, like soda or pop[/quote] But "soda" and "pop" are two different words and one who was raise in a part of the country where it was common to say "soda" would still pronounce "pop" the same as one who was raised in part of the country where "pop" was the preferred nomenclature. Seriously. [url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/audio.php?file=zealot01&word=zealot&text=\%3Cspan%20class%3D%22unicode%22%3E%CB%88%3C%2Fspan%3Eze-l%C9%99t\]Link[/url] Listen. Learn.

  • Zebra? Seriously? You go to a forum to ask how to pronounce a word? Fail much? [url]http://www.dictionary.com[/url] If I remember right, there's a little button you can click that makes the computer read the word to you, if that helps at all.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] count23 However, Zee-Lot is acceptable for Americans because they pronounce the letter Z with a long e, whereas Commonwealth nations pronounce Z as Zed, a short e.[/quote] How a letter is said has no bearing on the sound it represents. Case in point, w. Anyone who pronounces zealot with a long e vowel should have their jaw broken (or be corrected, one or the other). It should be pronounced in the same way it is [u]in Halo: Reach[/u]. For anyone who knows the International Phonetic Alphabet it's spelled: z epsilon l . schwa t

  • I don't know how it is "supposed" to be pronounced, but whenever I say it it is like Zeelot, rhymes with key lot.

  • Ze-lit. It's a real word, you could look it up if you wanted it. It has an official pronunciation and everything, there really is no controversy.
