Re: How do you pronounce Annika?
in reply to a message by gin_rummy
In Sweden, it is pronounced UNN-ee-kah (or ONN-ee-kah), it is hard to describe without a phonetic alphabet. The big difference is in the pronounciation of the first A.
I think Annika is originally Dutch (Anneke) but I'm not sure how it is pronounced there.
I think that I myself would pronounce it as ANN-ick-a if I went to USA, but I don't know which pronounciation is considered "correct" in USA.

Actually...
There's not a 'correct' pronounciation. There are several, including ANN-ihk-uh, AHN-ihk-uh, ah-NEEK-uh, and there are probably more, too.
