/ˈnokiɑ/ in IPA (nock-ia?)

In Finnish you write as you read, meaning generally that each sound corresponds to a letter. If one compares it to French or English, this is definitely a big advantage in learning the language. (http://finnish-language.blogspot.com/)

Keep it simple: "The Finnish letters are always pronounced as they are written."
