how do i pronounce Coeli

Question

i need to know how to pronounce the spanish word Coeli.

Answer 1

Well now Albert - Kay-lee is fine if you learnt your Latin in Oxford or one of its followers but I never heard a Spanish speaking priest say anything but chay-lee.

Answer 2

K as in letter k lee as in Robert E Lee k lee.

Answer 3

As Moe said, I see that word in "Regina Coeli". When Catholic church masses were still done in Latin, I would hear priests pronounce that as "che-li". It's like the way the plural of the musical instrument "cello" is pronounced - "celli"

Answer 4

This does not appear to be a Spanish word

A Google search shows it as a Latin word most commonly known in the phrase "Regina Coeli". In that case it is pronounced "Chay-ly"

Answer 5

ko-eh-lee
