How does one pronounce Tzadik?

[shivering corpse]

When I read it, my mind's voice says something like "Ta-zadick"

But if I had to say it out loud to someone I'd probably say "zadick," or "sadick," which probably makes me sound like a lil hick, which rhymes.

It's close to "zadick" but put combine a "t" sound with the "z". Like "putz" or "Mets".

thanks.
I'm going to order the album from tzadik very soon

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

it's also like tsahhdeek

 

[avi]

yeah, like josh said. with the eeeee sound on the last syllable.

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah but not crazy overanunciated. Kind of between "i" and "ee" I think. Transliteration of hebrew/yiddish sucks invariably.

see the word in the top left there? well there ya go. oh, and btw - vowells are for pansies.
