oghond2112 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 If you thought Peart was hard, this is even harder. Does anyone here know how to pronounce Alex Lifeson's given last name? I heard Geddy say it in the interview, but he said it so fast I couldn't make it out. Is it pronounced like it's spelled, or does it have some weird Serbian pronunciation? (PS: I am STUNNED no one has made a thread about this yet...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oghond2112 Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 http://www.pronouncenames.com/search?name=Zivojinovich So, it's said like it's spelled. Not as hard as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oghond2112 Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 At least I think it's said like it's spelled. That's probably anglicized, but I'm looking for the actual Serbian pronunciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 http://mylanguages.org/serbian_alphabet.php The j is soft, like y in year, but you already heard Geddy say it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronos Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 In Serbian his name is written Живојиновић in the Cyrillic alphabet, or Živojinović in our Latin alphabet (both alphabets are used within Serbia). It is pronounced roughly as "zhee-voh-YEE-noh-veech." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronos Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 You can hear the name pronounced 5 seconds in, and again 9 seconds in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 No matter what the original Serbian way is, it truly comes down to how Alex pronounces it as he owns the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
