The spelling of the word "brizendine" may seem confusing to some, but it can be easily explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first syllable is pronounced "br-eye" ( /braɪ/), which sounds like "buy" with an "r" added. The second syllable is pronounced "zen" ( /zɛn/), like the Japanese word for meditation. The final syllable is pronounced "dine" ( /daɪn/), which sounds like "dine" with a long "i" sound. So, "brizendine" is pronounced "br-eye-zen-dine" ( /braɪzɛndaɪn/).
