Acai is the it-berry these days. You know you want to order it but you can’t quite remember how to pronounce it. If the so-purple-it’s-almost-black berry that hails from the Amazon rainforest and is now popping up in everything from smoothies to face masks has you puzzled about how to say it, relax.

Acai is pronounced ah-sah-EE. Merrian Webster puts it this way: \ ä-ˌsä-ˈē , -sī-ˈē \.
