To Turienzo's lovechild you must listen. There is no 'v' sound in Spanish - they pronounce v as b.

And to Hans Kraay. Spot on.

This !!!

My luvverly laydee is Spanish and I spent many a time ribbing the pronunciation of the V's and B's and C's...

These - with a soft "b"

How do you pronounce 'Crouch'?

 

[Mestalla]

It's not "sen" nor "chen". The "C" in Spanish is prounced like "TH" in English (th as in think) and "V" like "B" so it's like a few have pointed: Be-then-tay (though the last part would be more like the "te" in "tell"). "Sen" would be in Southamerica not in Spain.

Vee-chen-tay

If he was Italian, yes.

But the Spanish pronounce the letter V as a soft B. And the letter C in this context is a soft sounding th, often very difficult to replicate to a native English speaker.

So the closest is, as the Large One and Turienzo's Lovechild have said, is bee-then-tay.

As in 'I hope he won't Be-then-tay off'?
