...are in the word namaste, please? I don't know whether it's nah-mahst, nah-mast, or whether the e is pronounced; if so, is it a, ee, or what?
Kia ora Jackie,
I've always heard it as nuh-mus-teh. But you'd best be waiting on an expert opnion.
Wow, thanks for the quick responses, you-all! Mercy--esp. from two's link, it sounds like this is far from a simple word.
That description is how to pronounce it in Hindi.
In English, [namaste] or [nʌmʌste] should do it.
