hi all,

many thanks

Kate= pronouced like [ keit] = كيت
Note: in arabic it's hard to give the right phonetic to some foreign words, so the phonetic of كيت can be keit, keet, kait, kaet , kit ...and many other possible ways to pronouce it....

you can write that with vowel marks, so it'd be pronounced right (or nearly)
كَيْتْ
