The Saudi Arabian guy I kinda knew in college said option 2 and rolled his eyes at 3/4/5.

I heard "KAY-tar" (rhymes with radar) some growing up, which sounds awful now.

I've always said "Cuh-tar," but to my knowledge "cutter" is the appropriate way...which just doesn't sound right to me.

What? No it isn’t.

I took a class on Middle Eastern government back in college with a Professor who was from Iran, and that's how he pronounced it. I figured he was a more credible source than anyone.

Could be an accent thing too. Apparently our British friends say the previous president's name like it rhymes with Derek.
