Looks like there are so many ways to pronounce Etsy!

I work in Etsy's international team, which focuses on growing the Etsy community outside the U.S.

I found this video of how to pronounce Etsy. Hope this helps! [Spoiler alert: The Betsy without the B people are spot-on. :)]

I still can't get it. so like you pronounce Ebay like EEEt-Say? Aaargh!!!
My friends say et-si.
It's probably impossible to try and answer this without hearing it. I don't know why i'm finding this so hard to grasp!!!
