Question
how to pronounce correctly? kIpa or Ki pA? where to put correct pronunciation on the second letter or on the last?
Answer
ב"ה
Shalom
In Hebrew the proper pronunciation would be with emphasis at the end of the word.
However, eastern European Jews with the influence of Yiddish make the emphasis at the beginning of the word.
