What's cooler? Pronouncing "Keeev" or "Key-yev"?

When I worked in Kyiv for six months the natives pronounced it "Kee-yev."

I figured you of all people would appreciate it. Also doesn’t Belarus claim ancestry too?

It’s been Key-yev forever. For me that is the pronunciation. I can live with not being cool

Keeve is the ISIL of ISIS

I never worked in Belarus so I have no first hand knowledge of what they claim.
I do know that Russians, as in Moscow Russians, look down on Belarusians as being inferior to them.

when I worked in Moscow, I met a few embassy personnel there, as well as some NASA "political" types. Those folks mostly leaned far Left and liked you to know they went to Rice and similar colleges.
And they liked pronouncing things in a snooty way so you would know they knew more than you (whether it was true or not). Think Obama saying PAKisTAAAN.

I first heard of it about 40 years ago - there was a knockoff of a Hasselblad camera made there for about 1/10 the price - I bought a couple of them as a backups.
It was Key-ehv then and will forever remain for me.
And I'm not a POCKis-tan man either.

I spent 6 years in middle and high school learning russian. it was key-ev. i had 2 instructors one was former military who translated at listening posts and the other was russian. they both pronounced it the same. these a-hole diplomats are using it to sound smug and better.

I'll never forget my faux pas when I met her.
I was standing next to her at one of those stand-and-grin embassy receptions when she introduced herself as being with NASA working on the International Space Station project.
I asked her if any astronauts were attending the reception because I'd like to meet one and she grinned, stuck out her hand and said, "Yes, there is........pleasure to meet you."
I felt like such a chauvinist pig I did everything but oink....
