thank you to all! Very very helpful!
Cai and Caj are pronounced KIE.
CAI (2) is KIE (same as Kai)
CHIYO is CHEE-o
CHUY is CHOO-ee
CHIYO is CHEE-o
CHUY is CHOO-ee
In Spanish, Chuy is pronounced CHOOY, a single syllable and not two.
I know. That sounds like two syllables to me. You can't make the oo and ee sounds in one syllable. *shrug*
Chaya would be have a very throaty h sound (I can't write the symbol on my computer) and be pronounced HAI-a (hai sounding like the i in night)
thank you!
