The Toyota plant in Bidadi, Karnataka has declared a lock out. The name of the place is correctly pronounced as bid-uh-thee. Using the pronunciation key, this would be written as biDadii. In Hindi this would read as बिडदि. In Kannada this would read as ಬಿಡದಿ.
The name of the company is toe-yo-tah. However the 't' sound is the soft 't' like in French. So the correct pronunciation would be तोयोता. The 'toe' has the short 'oh' sound. The 'yo' is long.
If you are uncomfortable with the soft 't', go with the hard 't'. But don't change the vowel sounds.
