How the world says Abduzeedo
Abduzeedo is 2 years old already and even though the site has grown, we still receive some emails asking about the meaning of the name, and a few weeks ago we got an email asking how to pronounce it or the right way to say it. That's why we decided to write this post.
The word "abduzeedo" was created by me from the portuguese word "abduzido" that means abducted. As the name of my company is Zee, I was always trying to find some words that I could create by mixing with the word zee, such as "crazee", "deduzeendo", "ecstazee", "brazeel", and others.
Now about the pronunciation, it will change depending on the language you speak, the country you live and of course the region of the country you are from. That's why we decided that it would be nice to ask the readers how they pronounce "abduzeedo", and below you can see exactly that. Also we really want to hear you saying it, so feel free to leave comments with videos so we can see and learn how to say abduzeedo in different languages.

Very interesting! I've thought about this for a while as well because I'm using abduzeedo in my final year Thesis project and had to determine how I would pronounce it.
I assumed Abdu was short for Abducted, so I pronouce Abdu the same way. ZeeDo I would say as "Zee DOE" as oppose to "Doo", which is what users said in their video.
I'm from Toronto, Canada, so I'll upload one soon :)
Great post, listened to each and everyone of them.. I'd say most people are pronouncing it pretty much the same.
well i also say Abduzeedo haha :) cool post ^^
Alison's voice is very sexy
Hey, I'm from australia. I pronounce it "AB-DUZZ-EE-DOO"
Funny how pronunciations change so much!
Cheers
That was i great idea! It's nice to hear how people from different countries speak the same word.
Waha nice post!
This is cool ;)
I pronounce it like Matt from the UK, and I'm Dutch!
Also, shouldn't it be
"Austria/Deutsch" instead of Dutch?
Aw, I'm the only girl. :) This was such a fun post!
But for some reason I don't see a player on mine for the audio, even though the image appears. (I have the latest QT.) If anyone has the same problem, the source is here: http://abductit.com/files/misc/videoallison.mov
