    Default Pronounciation of "Bikke"

    As long as I was on the topic of Unne...

    How do you pronounce "Bikke?"

    I've always said it like "Bic," like the pen, but I've heard it pronounced "bike" somewhere before.

    Special thanks to dark_lord for the sig!

    The correct pronounciation is whatever makes you the happiest.

    I say Bik-ke. Bikky.

    I can't say it that way without laughing. Apparently it must be correct.

    In this case though, you'd be right. Bee-kay is approximately how the Japanese pronunciation would go, and is therefore correct.

    I've considered it to be "Beek" for about 16 years now. I will not be swayed.

    I pronounce it "Bik-ke", where "bik" is pronounced like in "big", "pick" or something like that (not like in "bike", "pike" etc).

    Bik-kee or Bik-kay, depends if I'm playing the original or the remake.

    According to English pronounciation rules, you probably leave out the final "e", as usual.

    [bik]?

    However, in Sweden we would say ['bike], and that's exactly the way I pronounce it.
