levinf for S Africa next week and wondering how to pronounce Qater.

I've heard it pronounced both ways- like "cutter", with the accent on the first syllable, and, spelled phonetically, "ka tar" with the accent on the last.

Which is correct? Hate to offend, altho at my age I can probably get away with anything.

I don't know which is proper, but I do know that no one understands you when you pronounce it "cutter".

They only understand you when you pronounce it "kaTAR".

Kuh Tar. Or you can simply ask a flight attendant.

Problem is most people cannot pronounce the first letter.

It is is strong K but comes out of the top back of the mouth!

KKATAR is the way.

Not cutter. Accent on the first syllable.
