How do you pronounce her name?


Actually I know how, being an Israeli =D
But how do YOU pronounce her name?
And does it sound weird?

I've always wondered how Israeli names sound like to foreigners...

I'm guessing EYE-let ZOO-rur.

(The "eye" part being pronounced like the eye you see with, not like "ay").

I didn't read the other answers but I will now.

By the way, what does your username mean?

I'm Israeli and have a cousin with the same first name... and it is pronounced "ah-yeh-let". However, her last name I had wrong cause I only saw how it was spelled in English first and had never heard it before, but after hearing Israelis talk about her, apparently it's "Zoh-REHR". Why the site doesn't spell it "Zorer" I have no idea.

I thought it was Aye-yeh-let Zoo-rer

does her name mean ghost, or spirit by any chance?

"I Yell It' makes it easier to remember although that's not 100 percent accurate either. You're supposed to emphasize the second syllable.
