No, No, No. You got it all wrong. You are pronouncing it the "gringo" way!the correct pronunciation is Kas (short a) ta (short a) ņe (like a French or Italian gn and a short, single e, sounding like the e in elf) da (short a) By the way, short a is the only way of pronouncing a in Spanish. And when you se an e in Spanish, eh, like in elf or Ellen, is the ONLY way to pronounce that letter in Spanish. When you see i in Spanish, then is when you pronounce it like an English ee like in eel or feet. Any time you need help with Spanish pronunciation, or anything else, you (or any other person of Spanish ancestry who does not know the language) feel free to email me at lillianc@bigplanet.com, and I will be happy to help you. So, it is Kas ta gneh da
