OK according to the true blue Swede. You pronounce it as it is said above. Eee and the kea is like here. So Eee-kere.

 

The colors in the stores outside of Sweden is to represent the national colors. The original stores in Sweden are red. There is no need to promote your country in your own country so the red colors of the original stores remained.

 

IKEA is an acronym. It stands for Ingvar Kamprad i Elmhult AB - Elmhult is where he came from, and AB is Swedish for Inc or Ltd.

 

Listen to this for the pronounciation.
