Is it like "nai-kee" or "naik"? I myself use the second one, since everyone else uses that where i live.

However if you where to ask me how to pronounce 'gif' the image file format... I would still not say 'jif', even though that's how it was meant.

You can blame Americans for the funky pronouncation of their words...

Jaguar = Jag-wire?!?!!!

I can't trust a channel that says gif and not jif

But you trust the Donald Trump one is correct at least?

Ps: The creators of 'Gif' say that it's 'jif', but I've always called it 'gif' like it's spelt.

That's jag-war not jag-wire.

He's clearly saying it as jag-wire and so do most Americans. Jag-war would even be worst (if said like war is spoken), I think you meant Jag-wahr. Is it said differently between the sports car vs animal?

In British English it's pronounced as it's spelt, jag-u-ar. It's a 'u', not a 'w'. Just say it like Jag-you-are. For some odd reason, America hates the letter 'u'. Even to the point of removing it completely from words, such as 'colour', etc. Can't they pronounce it or something? Then they add to the word things which aren't even spelt in it, to make it extra confusing to the rest of the world. I guess it's natural to them and flows off the tongue, but just seems odd and illogical (quite like our extreme slang, we use here in New Zealand). English has to be one of the world's hardest languages to learn and understand, lol.
