ATTN Polish Speakers: What is the correct pronunciation of 'Kujawa?'?


Travel Info
Kujawa is my last name. I have been told that it is Polish. I've spoken to many Kujawas and they all seem to have different ways of pronouncing it.

Travel Tips
That would be coo-yah-vah.
and just for the record:
Polish = English:
k = c
u = oo
j = y
a = ah
w = v

and accent in Polish is (apart from 'borowed' words) always on the penultimate syllable.

Others
Cooyava - with the accent on the 'ya'
just giving a ditto to joanna's asnwer.... always remember - the W is a V :)
Joanna is correct.
