Don't worry, Selena Gomez, we'd have trouble pronouncing Zasvlaski, too. 

The Texas-born beauty, who is currently filming her upcoming flick The Fundamentals of Caregiving in Atlanta, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a hilarious video of herself and BFF Theresa Mingus trying to pronounce Zedd's name. 

And no, we're not talking about his stage name Zedd (we presume the ladies have that one covered) we're referring to the 25-year-old Russian-German DJs real name Anton Zaslavski

In the clip, which Selena later removed from Instagram account although a sneaky fan uploaded the video to YouTube, the 22-year-old stunner and her pal make a series of attempts to say the tongue-twisting moniker, but their efforts only result in an epic fail.

"V! There's a 'v' in it," Gomez insists to her bestie as the two burst into a fit of giggles. 

Pronunciation aside, the video certainly won't help but a stop to the romance rumors that continue to plague the adorable pair. 

In fact, the music producer even ventured out to Atlanta for the weekend to join Gomez as she prepared to start filming her forthcoming movie alongside Paul Rudd

And while the are-they-or-aren't they questions continue to fuel the rumor mill, we do know the Spring Breakers star is happy spending time with the EDM stud, with whom she is also collaborating on new music.

"Everything is going great with him. She is really happy and they are having fun,"  a source close to the singer told E! News last week. 

Since teaming up in the studio, the two have been spending a lot of time together—sharing numerous photos on their Instagram accounts and even showing off some subtle PDA at a Golden Globes after-party

Still, Selena's pals apparently aren't completely sold on the new man in her life. 

NEWS: Justin Bieber, who?!

I thought a lady was eating a plant. Selena wrote this caption. Hi. Took the offspring to the gardens.

"Selena's friends are a little bit wary while remaining hopeful," the source said, adding that her pals are questioning where the relationship is headed, "but ultimately right now he is making Selena happy and he is not Justin Bieber so that's a good thing."

Humorously enough, a similar situation recently happened to fellow former Disney darling Miley Cyrus when she was asked to spell boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger's last name. 

"Literally, I just had this conversation, I can't tell you," the 22-year-old "We Can't Stop" singer confessed during an appearance on Good Morning America. "Apparently there's not a T in it."
