how do you pronounce coyote?

Ki yote.
I think the other way with yotee, was originally a USA term, while the older Canadians nearly always was ki yote.
 
I can't believe it!! Three pages an nobody has mentioned the real reason.

The correct term is ki-ote. The only reason anybody calls them ki-O-tee's is because the Bug's Bunny cartoon character was given the name Wyle E. Coyotee, and ki-O-tee stuck. So much so I think it's the more common pronunciation.
 
i always thought the "proper" pronounciation was the first way and the second way was slang but I guess I learned something today :p
