I had a job interview at the Nike shop and they told me it's pronounced "nai-kee".
Americans are right on this one.

correct pronunciation is nee-kay
>>65969061

>>65969397
this is how japanese say it. I bought a comfy as fuck pair of black air max last week to wear at work and a student said NI-KE! YOU ARE VERY SHOES! when he spotted them.
>>65969437
>ihkear
You mean I KE A? Right?
Company was founded in usa
Local naming conventions apply
Therefore it is "nigh key"

me-me
It's pronounced Naik, after the ancient greek goddess of victory. Anyone who says Nye-kee is a pleb.

lmao nice "language"
>>65969684
That's because Nike is the name of an Ancient Greek goddess. It's not an English word.
Ni ka
Also the name of 75% of the kids making they're shoes in some 3rd world factory shit hole
>>65969542
eye-key-ah
>>65969699
And? I don't give a shit if the owner of Nike thinks it's called nai-kee, it simply fucking isn't """""nai-kee"""" because it sounds absolutely retarded and most people in the civilised world (Europe) call it Nike.
>>65969542
The problem with the english language is the lack of vowels
Vowels in Swedish are letters that only require one letter to sound. As opposed to consonants which require two or more.
Examples:
Å is pronounced Å (eau)
K is pronouced Kå (k+eau)
Here's how IKEA is pronounced: http://sv.forvo.com/word/ikea/
>>65969723
Can I buy a vowel?
>>65969853
You mean irrelevant
>>65969854
fuck off sweshit what he originally said is that but because you're a foreigner you couldn't read it properly. learn english pronunciation first before you try to lecture others.
>>65970071
>ihkear is the same as IKEA
rannsaka dig själv
>>65969853
You are exceptionally stupid
>>65969853
>too dumb to realize he's trying to tell you since Nike is American, >we Americans already fucking know the correct pronunciation and literally no one says "nai-kee". It's always Ni-Kee. always.
People line up outside to buy this shit, they know how to say it.
isnt it the greek word for victory anyway?
Nee-keh, like it's supposed to be
It's a Greek word, not an Anglo word
It is pronounced NIKE. Like the spanish diffender Pique bur with N. That's the name of the goddess.
If you want to respect it's origin it's nee-keh for victorious
It's nigh-kee. I don't give a shit about how the Greeks pronounce it. It's not like all of their other words are exactly the same as their classical counterparts.
>>65971280
I've seen in American movies you people pronounce Latin words (ex machina, pro bono, etc) like they were English words lmao
>>65971167
so Nii-Kehh
>>65969465
but are you shoe?
>>65971377
ex machina is pronounced "ex muh-sheen-a"
if you think its "ex mack-in-uh" then kill yourself
>mfw listening to retarded Britfags attempt to say the name of this car
>>65971377
because americans don't know better
>>65969503
>>65969755
>>65970657
The correct pronunciation of the Greek word is actually /'ni:ki/.

>>65969061
