Let’s Talk

So, let’s have a little fun with a name not designed for the English alphabet.

The “C” has a “TSA” or “ZZ” sound

Read it like this
– “EE-vee-tsah”

Remember it like
– “Ivica’s Pizza”

ChatGPT Explains it better

The phonetic spelling of the name “Ivica” can vary depending on the language and accent, but in English, it is commonly phonetically spelled as “EE-vee-tsah.” This reflects the typical pronunciation in Slavic languages, where “Ivica” is a common diminutive form of the name “Ivan.” The “I” is pronounced like the “ee” in “see,” the “v” is like the “v” in “victory,” the “i” again as “ee,” and the “ca” is pronounced as “tsah” with a soft “t” sound followed by “ah.”
