most americans i know say [aɪ.kiː.ə] but friends have told me it's [i.ke.a] in Swedish and Russian
how do you say it / where are you from / what languages do you speak?

in reply to @bethposting's post:
american english, "eye-key-uh" which i think is the first example you gave?
In portuguese, if u were to pronounce as it is spelt, u would say [i.ke.a] as well (wiff a slightly stronger/focused KEH than russian/swedish) which is how I think peopl pronounce it here from teh videos I saw (there's no Ikea nearby so I haven't spoken to anyone aboot it in person, hehe)
But I personally pronounce it [aɪ.kiː.ə] mosf of teh time becuz that's how I've bean hearing it pronounced mosfly, hehe
actually, it doesn't seem like there's an IKEA in my country at all, so teh pronounciation teh person has in their IKEA Showcasing Vlog mosfly depends on whaf country they're visiting or hav immigrated to, meowf
oh interesting. i kinda thought there were ikeas everywhere but i guess i just assumed that because theyre in a lot of places
Yeah, nof yet in Brazil, hehe, but seems we're marked as a Future Market in teh picture
