Is there anywhere in the net the word "Kiev" available as a mp3 file?

Seppo Nurmi

It's pronounced "Keey-ev"

By Russians.

Ukrainian and Russian would be fine. In Finnish it is "Kiova".

The names in languages adapt more, if they are in daily use. In practice this means neighbouring people, although there are some strange exceptions of this.

Firenze - Florens

Milano - Mailand


And finally, here are some names of the places in Finnish.

Tukholma

Tallinna

Pietari

Riika

Hampuri

Vilna

Pariisi
