How do you pronounce Jaffa?

The pronunciation of "Jaffa" depends on the context:

English:

* Jaffa (as a city): "JAH-fuh"

* Jaffa Cakes (the biscuit): "JAF-uh" (with a short "a" sound, like in "cat")

Hebrew: "Yafo" (pronounced yah-foh)

So, it's important to know if you're referring to the city or the biscuits to get the correct pronunciation.
