peer agreement (net): +2Andonis Explanation: Strictly speaking, "Andonis" (nasal pronunciation) is the correct form of the name (which is just a short form of Antonios, just as Yannis is a short form of Ioannis, and so on so forth). You may also hear "Adonis" which is quite common, but this is a wrong pronunciation. For this problem of nasal or non-nasal pronunciation which has been discussed before, you can have a look at the following thread: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/614149 Hope this helps! |
