I really want to know because last time I was in Australia I caught grief from my sisters: "Is that how Americans say Nokia?" In my ignorance (please forgive me) I said "No, that's how the Japanese say it." Fortunately (for me) my sisters were as ignorant as I was and were not aware that Nokia is Finnish...or maybe my brother-in-law who works for Valmet knew, but he tactfully held his tongue.

In my ignorance (please forgive me) I said “No, that’s how the Japanese say it.” Fortunately (for me) my sisters were as ignorant as I was and were not aware that Nokia is Finnish…or maybe my brother-in-law who works for Valmet knew, but he tactfully held his tongue.

Very nice angle indeed! And I don't just say it because I'm a Finn (after all, this could backfire big time), but as an idea it's very creative. As for a Finn, I pronounce Nokia, "NOkia", emphasizing the 1st syllable. It's short like the rest of the word, not NOOOkia, but NOKia..:). I hope Stefan is feeling better already and the migraine is gone. This could be fun..:). Very nice angle indeed!

It always strikes me when American English speakers pronounce the name as: No'kia (emphasizing the 2nd syllable), as opposed to European speakers who pronounce it as: 'Nokia (emphasizing the 1st syllable). Perhaps a Finnish speaker could step in and enlighten us? One of the interesting things to start with could be the pronunciation of Nokia itself.
