Each i is like the i in "will"
Each a is like the a's in "data"
Each o is like the o in "more" (and NOT as in "no")
Each e is like the first e in "message"
Each u is like the oo in "poor"(of course this doesn't apply to Jewish names that are not Hebrew, like "Perle")Therefor:
Adi (f) - ah-DEE
Ahuva (f) - ah-HOO-vah
