It's hard to pronounce it correctly, so most English speakers resort to "kah-tar" and it's accepted here. We can't make that 't' sound like Arabic speakers can.

- My friends from Doha said I am OK to say "Catter."

- Well, that person would know better than me. But ask them how they say it in Arabic and try to make that 't' sound, it's so hard.

Kah-'tar (not cutter!), but it's difficult to translate the subtle inflections. Many languages have accent or sound altering punctuation. Hachecks, umlauts, tildes, etc. I've found that when speaking with a non native English speaker, they have a harder time understanding our dialects. Part of it is also the lack of interest of most Americans to understand other cultures.

- I like that one.

- I'm one of those goofy Americans that has to learn as much as possible. I've had the fortune and misfortune to do a fair amount of travel and study (mostly through experience) a few languages.

- Been to Iowa and rural Illinois. Probably the same. Spent some time at the University of Illinois, which seemed a lot like California with regards to culture.
  Lived in the Southern US for a few years (Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, and interviewed to teach at a university in Mississippi).

I've heard that it's pronounced like "Cutter" but I find that hard to believe.
Comments
- That sounds like Catter with a British accent. And my friends from there all have a Britishy sounding accent.

When I was in Qatar I asked a native and found out that it is pronounced exactly the same way you say the word "guitar".
