Yuri Shevchuk, a lecturer in Ukrainian at Columbia University, said Ukrainians stress the first vowel, and pronounce it like the “i” in the word “kid.” The second vowel sounds like the “ee” sound in “keel,” and the v is also pronounced like the end of the word “low.” (It’s a bit hard to describe; there is [an audio clip here](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfsFPZP4QBAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMTEvMTMvdXMvcG9saXRpY3Mva2lldi1wcm9udW5jaWF0aW9uLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CQUVfcF8yMDE5MTExNCZzZWN0aW9uPWJhY2tTdG9yeT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzODUzJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTg3OTYmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyb249YmFja1N0b3J5VwNueXRCCgAp2c7NXZA8Mm1SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).) Lena Mucha for The New York Times In Russian, Kiev sounds more like “KEY-ev.” But U.S. State Department employees generally try to pronounce it the Ukrainian way — though at some points on Wednesday it sounded more like “keev,” with the long “ee” pronounced as a single syllable. There is also a debate over how to spell the city’s name in English. The official State Department biography of George Kent, who testified on Tuesday, spells it Kyiv, which reflects the transliteration from Ukrainian. (The New York Times still spells it Kiev, which is the transliteration from Russian.) Dr. Shevchuk noted that legend has it that the city was founded by a set of siblings around the sixth century and named for the eldest brother, Kyi. That’s it for this briefing.
