You may want to look into some translation websites on the internet through Google, often they will pronounce the words for you. But any way it's pronounced Deh E Da Rah.
The De makes the Deh sound, the romanji for 'i' sounds like the letter 'e' in English the da sounds like 'dah' and the ra makes the 'rah' sound. http://www.angelfire.com/anime4/minako134/romaji1.htm This website should provide a sufficient guide for your future pronunciation needs. Also a 'weeaboo' is a insult that came from the internet which generally means a westerner pretending to be Japanese, you should ignore such silly and rude comments.

Pay no mind to it I say, unless she had factual evidence to support her claim which she clearly did not, she should not critique others foreign language abilities. With that being said you now clearly understand the proper way to pronounce it, and with that hold a certain proper bearing on future discussion of the similar.

But jerks will be jerks, you've just got to research and overcome. :D

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

I know this is wrong, but me and my friends pronounce it "Da-dre-uh". It should be pronounced more like "De-da-ruh". Or something. I'm not good at typing pronounceations.

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

Actually... I thought that it was pronounced "Dee-dar-uh". I heard Sasori say it in a sub so that was how they pronounced it in the raw, japanese version.

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

You pronounce it Day-da-ruh

Me and my friends always pronounced it as De-i-dar-uh.

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

In the Japanese anime it's pronounced "day-dar-uh". If she held a grudge against you for a month over the pronunciation of a fictional characters name, I think she's a little obsessed with it.

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

i say: dee-dare-ah

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

It's Dea-Dra. At least, thats how I pronounce it.

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

No, I kid.

Day-Dar-Ah

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

...I know several people have already answered this, but hopefully my opinion can still help if someone's unsure. I think you pronounce it "Day-da-rah." ...Well, actually "Day-da-lah." The As are always pronounced like "aw" in Japanese...I think. And "ei" is always pronounced like the A in "make"...I think...and Rs always sound like Ls, but I don't pronounce the Rs like that, so...

"Die-da-rah" makes me think of a pirate...o.o

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?

day-dare-uh

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

Lol, yeah, just a little

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?

Re: How exactly are you supposed to say this?
 

I've always pronounced it the second way "Dee-dar-ah" and I understand what your going through Kari-Chan, I have a friend the same way who makes me say it the "right way"

So I her how to say "Naauur-uu-to" instead of how she says "Nuuur-uto" :|
