pronunciation I have to do an oral exam on Othello soon and I do not know how to pronounce the names Othello and Desdemona in English. Is the "th" Othello pronounced like in other or seperately as t and h? And where is the stress in Desdemona? Thank you very much! posted by Noosi on 2004-07-16 04:19:58 last updated 2004-07-16 04:19:58
Yes. The "th" in Othello is pronounced as in "other"--"O-thel-o." It is not separated into "Ot-hell-o" The second syllable is stressed. In "Desdemona" stress the "mo" syllable. posted by Harry (Harry Connors) on 2004-07-18 13:20:11 last updated 2004-07-18 13:20:11
