Help[Facts] Re: German pronounciation question
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
Most people would say anasta-ZEE-a. The name is rare but well-known in Germany and especially used among people of russian descent.
Like elbowin said: There is also a dialect in Germany where the -st- is always pronounced sht, even if you would say s-t in High German (e. g. the word "weißt" or popular German names like Konstantin, Christian ...).
On the other hand, there is a North German dialect in which -st- is always pronounced s-t, although in High German it is sht (e.g. Stein, Stephanie ...).
