Say 'bay' like the word for a body of water, then add 'zel' where 'zel' sounds like the beginning of 'zebra' and ends with 'l' like in 'bell'. Combine these sounds smoothly: 'bay-zel'.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Many people incorrectly pronounce it as 'base-el', confusing it with similar words. The correct pronunciation drops the 's' sound.
