    Most non-English tourists to Cape Verde (particularly the Italians and Spanish) pronounce the Verde as “Verdi”, but the final E is silent in Portuguese, hence Cabo Verd is the correct pronunciation in the local language.

    1. Hop on your bicycle, ride around the islands & ask the natives.  You posted in the cycling (bicycle) section of Yahoo Answers.   

    2. With all the search engines available on the internet, you can't look this up on your own?  This YouTube video will show you the correct pronunciation, geography, and a little history ll rolled up in one.  You're welcome.
