Answers:
Ni-ok-kee ("ni" like in "onion")
The Italian "gn" sound is like Spanish ? sound, like in Espa?a, se?or or "El ni?o"!.
"ch" sound in Italian is like English "k"!.
Two identical consonant together (like "cc", here) make the sound longer!.

Some of the answers were close!. We don't have an English equivalent for the first syllable!. However, if you put an "n" in front of the word "yo" (as in "Yo, dude!.!.!.") you can get a close approximation!. The second syllable is pronounced "key", with the accent on the first syllable!.
