Hi Shelley, only 3 syllables are pronounced, with the ”ai” being the expected diphthong that rhymes with ”eye.” So phonetically something like POR-taik-ko. I am hoping to figure out a way to easily get the pronunciation button back that I used to use here using audio from Google Translate so it’s more clear how the words should sound. I would provide the audio myself, but am not a native Finnish speaker myself – moved to Finland from Minneapolis, actually. 🙂

Hei, David,
Is it pronounced “porta-ikko” then?
Kiitos, Shelley (Ritala) Kerber Minnetonka, Minnesota USA
