How do you pronounce wiki?

Answer 1

The etymology of wiki or wikiwiki for emphasis is originally a Hawai'ian word and it is correctly pronounced 'vee-kee'. It literally means to hurry or hasten, but over the years the word has evolved into an adjective and is used as such to mean quick, fast, or swift. Please be aware that prior to Hawai'is overthrow in 1893, Hawaiian was an entirely spoken language and mistakes were made in the recording of the language and its transliteration using Romanized letters. Also, due to the geographical isolation of the eight islands, there were several Hawaiian dialects and some tribes pronounced 'Ww' as a double-u, while others pronounced it in accordance to the official dialect, as 'V' in Virginia.
