It's funny sometimes how people pronounce the word WiFi. So how do you pronounce it? Just to educate ourselves. *pls no insult o* |

some say /waifai/ some /waifee/ others /weefee/ I think the first is the correct though I've heard a good number of people use the second and very few use the third. |

It's WAIFAI. Instead of Wi, the first 2 letters should be pronounced as Y. |

In English speaking countries Wi-Fi is pronounced / ˈwaɪ.faɪ/ - it rhymes with Hi-Fi, and tie dye, and my pie. Trade name developed for the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (later Wi-Fi Alliance), after hi-fi (“high fidelity”). Pronunciation : (UK, US) IPA(key): / ˈwaɪ.faɪ/ https://www.quora.com/Which-is-the-correct-way-to-pronounce-wifi |

manci:it's correct when you pronounce as / wai fai /. If you have voice dico you get it there. |

I pronounce it as wai fai. I always get angry when I hear people pronounce it as wai fee |
| Re: How Do You Pronounce Wifi by Habbatically: 6:21pm On Oct 25, 2017 |
ADENIKETINA2015:Does it make sense, if you pronouns it WiF i? It doesn't. The Capital letter shouldn't be left out. |

Habbatically:That was why I quoted and still emphasised on it with the laugh emoji for others to know it's wrong. I gave the correct pronunciation @the bolded in my previous comment |

| Re: How Do You Pronounce Wifi by ewizard1: 9:50pm On Oct 25, 2017 |
It's pronounced "Why Fee". "WaiFee" WiFi is an abbreviation of "Wireless Fidelity" so "WaiFee" is the right pronunciation. |
| Re: How Do You Pronounce Wifi by ewizard1: 10:02pm On Oct 25, 2017 |
Mekanus:Lolz, you get angry when people actually pronounce it correctly? ![]() |
| Re: How Do You Pronounce Wifi by Mekanus(m): 11:18pm On Oct 25, 2017 |
ewizard1:Hahahaha check the dictionary bro, wai fai is the correct pronunciation ![]() |
| Re: How Do You Pronounce Wifi by ewizard1: 7:07am On Oct 26, 2017 |
Mekanus:Okay, I just looked it up now. You're correct but I just call it WaiFee since the day I new the full meaning. I guess it was called that way because it makes the pronunciation fast and convenient! |
