If I'd wanted to say it was pronounced like Buddha, though, I would have said (pronounced "boo-dah"). I should have said, the "a" is pronounced as in "man", or better yet, if people know their French artists, the ending of "boudin" is pronounced like the ending of "Rodin".Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776917750757825408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776205147286643847.post-83858236667769930992008-08-04T15:42:00.000-07:002008-08-04T15:42:00.000-07:00"boo-da" looks like it should be pronounded like "..."boo-da" looks like it should be pronounded like "buddha", which is not correct.
