Noob question. How do you pronounce Xenia? I have always said Zenia but the LFS guy said something totally different.

Hello,
I am not a native speeker but we pronounce the X like "gs" - so "gsenia".
It is always funny and somethimes not easy to listen to english speaking referees coming from US (like A. Calfo, S. Michael, J. Sprung...) and mentioning latin names of fishes or corals - as the latin pronounciation is totally different....
regards
Markus

I've also heard "zeenia". I'm a "zehnia" guy myself.
haha Out here in Cali, We pronounce it 'X-Zenia'
=P
X as in.. Ex in Extra, So... 'Ex-Zenia'
I just call it "pest" , so much easier to pronounce.
