Ok - way to pronounce is this.. Az - is not pronounced like english word "as" but rather pronounced as "Oz" ex: Wizard of "Oz" the next A is like the Ahh sound from Oz... Like when the doctors okay - say Ahhhhhh So (Oz)Ah and then di is like "(de)ed" it's the De sound in the english word "deed" hope that helps
Azadi

We have a Farsi linguist in my company. He disappeared in the night. I have to use what I got.

"ah-zAH-dee" with heavy emphasis on the 2nd syllable, and some aspiration transitioning to the "-di", yes?
