“Ee-kia”, “ee-kay-uh”, or “ai-kay-uh”, most Singaporeans will have had that debate at least once in their lifetime.
Well, for their Tampines outlet’s 15th anniversary, IKEA has decided to dispel the myths and let everyone know how to pronounce their name once and for all.
And whether you like it or not, the correct pronunciation is “ee-kay-uh”

"ai-kay-uh" is the lazy American pronunciation. They have been mispronouncing Iraq and Iran as "ai-raq" and "ai-ran" forever.
What do you call an American who is an idiot? "ai-diot".

I think "ee-kia" is most common.
But Ee-kay-Uh.. the "uh" ..does not fit the way it is spelt.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
