How do you pronounce it?
/rosni/
Did you know?
- Because the letter 'h' is silent in Spanish, a native speaker might intuitively pronounce Roshni as Rosni, completely ignoring the 'h' as they would in the word hola.
- Because 'Roshni' is not a native Spanish word, a speaker might mistakenly treat the 'sh' sound as a 'ch' sound, pronouncing it closer to 'roch-ni' if they are following traditional Spanish phonetics.
- A Spanish speaker might mistakenly associate the first syllable of Roshni with rosa, the word for 'rose', leading them to associate the name with the flower.
