:-))
Sounds (and looks) like Gnome Desktop Environment.
In Russian: где (English: where)
What's interesting that despite of written "gde" (где), it is pronounced 
(aureal rendering :-) more like "kde".
At least, when you talking to friends and family memebers.
I guess only TV dictors pronounce it as G-D-E.

In Bulgarian, it written and pronounced different, something like "kade"
(k-a-d'y-e). I mean, word "where"
