Best Answer

Assuming you are referring to the book "Didache" or "The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles", the book is written anonymously, and its date is very disputed. However, there is a tendency to date it quite early because it appears to describe a very primitive church (lacking in much hierarchy or heavy rituals, and having roles such as apostles (missionaries) and prophets, that were not found in 2nd century churches and beyond). Perhaps a date in the late 1st century or early 2nd century would be wise. If so, it puts the Didache up there with I Clement and the Epistle of Barnabbas (perhaps) as among the oldest post-NT Christian documents. Rather than being a name, "Didache" means "doctrine" or "teaching". It shares the root where we get the word "didactic".

How do you pronounce the Greek word Didache?

Prounounciation of DidacheDidache is not pronounced like Jordache, nor is it pronounced like what you might say about the pain in your head last night (it did ache). It is a transliteration of the Greek word meaning teaching and is pronounced "di-dah-KAY."**Actually, it is going to depend some on what pronunciation system one uses. Many colleges and universities use the Erasmian pronunciation system, which is a made up system from the 1500s. However, modern Greek pronunciation is perfectly sufficient for texts from the New Testament on, such as the Didache (c. 50-70AD).Following modern Greek pronunciation, one would pronounce Didache as "thi-thah-KEE." Note that the /th/ sound is the hard /th/ as in "the" or "there," not the soft /th/ as in "with."
