It's pretty simple and that's how you pronounce it. Why is it so hard and still incorrectly pronounced by so many? The only acceptable pronunciation of the state is “Nev-AD-a,” not “Nev-AH-da.” Pronouncing the state’s name incorrectly can draw ire among residents, especially if you’re a politician.
