Tense long vowel with sustained acoustic resonance.

Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Single-syllable words like "za" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.
How Native Speakers Say It: Sustain vowel clarity without rushing into the trailing consonant. Elevate pitch slightly when "za" carries the primary contrast or new information in a sentence.
Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When followed by a vowel, insert a subtle glide (/w/ or /j/) to connect into the subsequent word without an abrupt glottal stop.
In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "za" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
