    It's pronounced "Dahee"

    And to get a fada on a vowel use ALT GR and the vowel.

    Just letting you know of how to type a fada. You hold the Alt Gr key along with the vowel you want to put a fada on.

    á é í ó ú

    Here's all the vowels with the fadas I did by using this method.

    Look at the differences in the pronunciation of the vowels with a fada compared to without:

    A: ah
    Á: aw

    E: eh
    É: ay

    I: ih
    Í: e (the letter "e" you say it like)

    O: oh
    Ó: the letter "o" you say it like

    U: uh
    Ú: ooh
