Do you say "Dah-lia" or "Day-lia"?
For me, it’s Dah-lia. Why? Dahlias hail from Central America, namely Mexico. If we honor the Spanish in the region, and recall the helpful Spanish 101 rhyme “A E I O U, el burro sabe mas que tu” (ah, ay, ee, oh, oooh…), we would certainly say Dah-lia. “Day-lia” would need to be spelled Delia.
But that’s just me. How do you pronounce it and why?
