How do you pronounce heikkila?

"Heikkilä" is a Finnish surname, and it's pronounced:

HAY-kee-lä

* HAY: Like the English word "hay"

* kee: Like the English word "key"

* lä: Like the English word "la" (but with a slightly shorter "a" sound)

It's important to note that Finnish has a lot of vowel harmony, so the "ä" at the end will sound more like a short "a" in English.
