How do you pronounce "mantequilla de mania"(peanut butter)?

Question

Umm yea my friends Guatemalan and Puerta rican, anyhow her nickname in english is Peanut butter, and I really wanna learn how to pronouce this, Thanks ahead of time=)

Answer 1

The vowel are what change the most:

Mantequilla:
a is like a in saw

e is like a in gay

qui is pronounced like key (The accent is over this syllable!)

then lla is like the yu in yuck

de is pronounced like day if you shortened the ay quite a bit.

mania is the hardest to describe over the internet...

a is again like saw
ia is if you almost "glided" over an long e (like in me) sound to a unstressed a (like in saw)

In mania, make sure the accent is over the i (sounds like long e)

This is all I can do for you, good luck. (It helps a /lot/ to listen to Spanish speakers pronounce words and try as hard as you can to sound exactly like them. You get a feel for the accent that way)

Answer 2

it's not "mantequilla de mania". It's 'mantequilla de maní'.

"Mahn-teh-key-yah Deh- Mah-Nee" <

Answer 3

Well I don't know about Guatemalans, but I'm Argentine and we pronounce our letters similar to PR. This is how I'd pronounce it M-Ah-N-T-Ay-Key-Zha(as in mira(ge))-A
D-Ay M-A-N-Ee

(Basically it's: M as in (m)ore
A as in (a)fter
N as in (n)o
T as in (t)alk
E as in w(a)y
Qui as in (key)
LL as in mira(g)e
A as in (a)fter

DE as in (day)

M as in (m)ore
A as in (a)fter
Ni as in (knee)

(note the e might be pronounced as the E in (e)ggs also the LL might be pronounced as the Y in (y)ak)

Mantequilla de maní


Lol I hope you could understand that.
