小八狗狗的話:
至於IKEA的唸法,其實應該是唸衣ㄎㄧ亞沒錯
但在英語體系的國家習慣唸成哀ㄎㄧ亞
(參考於http://www.answers.com/ikea?cat=technology的General overview)
--------------------------------------------------
IKEA is generally pronounced IPA: [i`ke.a] but in many English-speaking regions, it is pronounced IPA: [aī`kiːə] rhyming with the word "idea". In addition, it is generally pronounced IPA: [i`ki.a] in Taiwan and China with a Chinese name Yíjīa(宜家): literally fit for home in written Chinese, as well as right now in Cantonese.

所以依照上面的連結,台灣和北美的發音都不是最正確的,瑞典語應該要唸「伊ㄎㄟ亞」才對囉。不過IKEA本來就只是創辦人的名字和出生地名等字首的字母拼湊成的,並不是一個字彙,所以我都是入境隨俗,看當地人怎麼唸我就怎麼唸。:P
