Nadi

TIP: In the Fijian language, the letter “d” includes an invisible but spoken “n” in front, such that Nadi is pronounced “Nandi.”  Also, the “a” is short, like “cat,” such that “Nadi” rhymes with “Randy.”  On Korean Air, pilots and flight attendants making arrival announcements tend to say “Nah-di.”
