Great video. In Korea, we say YESU, but with extra ending word "NIM" (Nim is Korean word for respect). So Yesunim.

Amazing sir, in Zimbabwe we say Jesu . Interestingly the name of Jesus (greek English, Hebrew etc) has authority and power to "upset" invisible negative forces, especially in Africa. Heavy occult activity being dismantled by proclaiming His name. Even during praise and hymn.🙏🏾🇮🇱🇿🇼

In Romanian we say ISUS; pronounced (ee-soos) 🙌🏼 Jesus, Your name is beautiful in every language ❤✝️

I believe that Jesus doesn't really care how one pronounces HIS NAME as long as we just seek HIM, talk to HIM, & spend time in HIS Presence! He wants our hearts, Love, & a relationship with us!

Tsitsalagi (I am Tsalagi/ Cherokee) and we write Jesus as Tsisa or in the Cherokee syllabary as ᏥᏌ. How one pronounces Jesus/ Tsisa largely depends on if you are of the Eastern Band of Cherokee (Keetoowah) or the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, formerly Indian Territory. I pronouce Tsisa as CHEE-sah whereas my cousins out west would pronounce the same word as Jee-sa. Very slight difference, but both mean the same thing. Donadagohvi! (Until we meet again!)

My family speaks Aramaic and I was told he was called Yeshu(a) Pronounced as if it has a guttural "a ", but not spelled with the a. Yeshu(a) Imshiho is Jesus Christ in Aramaic. Great video, thank you ❤

I’m a Ghanaian and I speak a local language known as “Asante Twi.” We call the Saviour, “Yesu”.

In Greek, the final 's' is customary for male names. Examples: Photos (my name), Andreas, Nikos, etc.

I've always asked this as what would Mary say when she called Jesus/Yeshua for dinner? And no one was able to tell me for 10+ years, and this video was very thoroughly presented. Thank you.

In Spanish we call him Jesús ( he-soos) or Jesucristo (Jesus Christ) ❤ what a beautiful name it is!! ❤️
