Question: how do i pronounce kauai?
Answer: The right pronunciation of Kaua`i, is similar to pronouncing the sounds 'cow-wa-ee' with the 'cow' and the 'wa' flowing together and a glottal stop before pronouncing the 'ee,' which is why the okina is included. Some islanders pronounce Kaua`i as 'cow-eye' with an accent on the second syllable.
