My mother says Loo-CHEE-ah, I say LOO-sha or LOO-see-a depending on the sound I want. I know the last one isn't listed as one of its pronunciations but I like it and the name has enough that I don't think one more is a crime. :-)
Motherland fatherland homeland native land.
It’s all the same. What the hell good to you
is your native land after you’re dead? Whose
native land is it after you’re dead?
