So... Is it P.E.K.K.A or P.E.K.K.A?

[sneakymaori]

They pronounce it Pehka in Finland. It's the Finnish name for Peter.

You sir are correct

[AtHayEast]

I pronounce it as Pee-Ee-Kay-Kay-Ei, you mad?

[Sobberr]

So ive heard two ways of saying PEKKA which way is it P-eh-ka The way i say it or P-eee-Ka like my buddy says it? Please help we have a bet on this

Era er gersh I hate when people say peeka, and I'd feel like a **** correcting them. it's basic grammar, but ya it's pronounced like your first example.

It's P-eh-ka. Inspired by a very common Finnish name, they just stuck "."s in the middle. Its the equivalent of J.O.H.N.

[Drewbiedoo]

I think it is P.E.K.K.A.

How would folks even start pronouncing it pee-ka. Elementary education of English phonetics should have pushed everyone without learning disabilities to say pek-uh, because of the fact there are 2 Ks (not 1) separating the E from the A.

End of discussion.

you are actually trying to make some sense and reasoning with the english language. it is one of the hardest languages we have to learn.

english is so twisted. take draw for example. it has an artistry meaning as well as pulling something together. we have silent k's. we even have 2 letter together that have a completely different sound to what they should make. gh & ph both sound like f's. it doesnt stop there.

take spook for example. with halloween just past we all know the meaning of it and how to pronounce it. yet book, cook and took all are pronounced like tuck, buck, cuck. not like boo-k, coo-k and too-k. everything in the english language especially names do not always follows the rules of the english language. it could well be pee-kah. could be anything. its all down to the person(s) that came up with the name for this mystical creature.

You gentlemen are not of this planet...
Are you actually trying to 'inform' the community of how to say a Finnish word using the English language?

Very American type behaviour that is! Lol
