How do you pronounce confirmandi?

"Confirmandi" is a Latin word, and its pronunciation depends on whether you're speaking Classical Latin or Ecclesiastical Latin.

Classical Latin:

* "Confirmandi" would be pronounced kon-fir-MAN-dee.

Ecclesiastical Latin:

* "Confirmandi" would be pronounced kon-fir-MAN-di.

The difference lies in the final "i". In Classical Latin, it's a long "i" sound, while in Ecclesiastical Latin, it's a short "i" sound.

However, "Confirmandi" is not a common word in everyday English. It's primarily used in a religious context, specifically in relation to the Christian sacrament of Confirmation. In this context, "Confirmandi" refers to those who are about to receive Confirmation.

So, while the pronunciation might vary slightly, the emphasis should always be on the second syllable, "MAN".
