How do you pronounce "San Andrés?"

[oside]

Would someone please spell it out phonetically? I have always wondered. Thanks!

San (like 'sand'without the d) and Andrés is like 'undress' but with the same 'an' sound as in sand replacing the 'un'.
Got it?

Like the San Adreas Fault.

But the tobacco type is spelled Andres, not Andreas. Are you sure they are pronounced the same?

I've wondered this same thing as well. I've always thought that it was pronounced "on-dress"

San - S-ahn
Andres - ahn-drres (double r means roll the R spanish style)

 

[oside]

Yup, now I'm confused. I've always thought it was "Sahn Ah-dress" fwiw.

 

[ENV]

corrected mine. S-ahn is more true

Sounds like you and Clint nailed it. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[oside]

Thanks all! This was exactly the discussion and explaination I was looking for

sahn ahn-DRACE. emphasis on final syllable, which rhymes with 'trace'

Can't really appreciate it until you spend an evening with the mighty amoyas that swarm Lake Catemaco in San Andreas Tuxtla… they don't bite, but damn if they don't end up in very orifice you got… <sigh> I took JD one time and he swore he would never return. :>
