The trick with the pronunciation in the katakana for Kiwi is at the end of the word.</p> <p>The pronunciation for ウイ is the expected "ui" with the standard "u" and "i" sounds together. But the sound for ウィ (notice the small ィ) is "wi" - they are not two separate sounds, they work together as one to produce the "wi" sound. Check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia's Katakana page</a> for a full list of Katakana pronunciations - there's a whole bunch of strange ones there that you won't see around much.</p> <p>Hope that helps.</p> Thanks glad you enjoyed it.

But is キーウィ pronounced as 'kiiwi' or as 'kiiui'?</p> Great to try to get the meanings of the kanas first and then read the brakdown! But is キーウィ pronounced as ‘kiiwi’ or as ‘kiiui’?
