I have always pronounced it like Ver-dahn-ah or Ver-don-ah
But how is it supposed to be pronounced? Ver-dan-ah, Ver-don-ah, Ver-dahn-ah, or what?

I thought it was something like that. It's like the whole "gif" debate. Hard or soft g?Quoth Pixelated View Post
Some people pronounce it like "gift" without the T, some pronounce it "jiff". I say it the first way, because that's how I learned it, and the "G" stands for graphics, and the "g" in graphic is pronounced in a specific way.Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.Comment

In my world .gif is pronounced like 'gift' leaving off the 't' because 'jif' is peanut butter.Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.
I'm a case study.Comment

The guy who created the format says it is meant to rhyme with the peanut butter ('jif') -- but what really matters is how people use it and say it, I suppose ^_^"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.
