Hola, How does one pronounce cuidate? I have heard "coo - ee da te" and "kee -da -te". Are they both acceptable? Thanks, Pam

If you speak English, think of the "cui" as "kwee" (as in "queen" - or misspelled, kween) - Goldie_Miel, Mar 29, 2012

cui- da -te

the cui sounds like a q (sometimes)

Can you give an example of cui sounding like a q? - Jack-OBrien, Mar 28, 2012

You can listen to how cuidado is pronounced and just change the last syllable to "te" instead of "do".

Well, in the word 'cuidado'... the second syllable is stressed. When you say 'cuídate', it is the first. :) - NikkiLR, Mar 28, 2012
Oh yes, of course. Thanks for pointing that out. ;) I meant the first syllable "cui" in cuidado and cuidate. They both sound alike. - cheskasullivan, Mar 28, 2012
=D They do. - NikkiLR, Mar 28, 2012
