The spelling of the word "karume" is relatively straightforward. It is pronounced [ka-roo-may], with emphasis on the second syllable. The first syllable is pronounced as "ka" with a short "a" sound, similar to the "a" in "cat". The second syllable is pronounced like "roo" as in the name Roo from Winnie-the-Pooh, followed by "may" which rhymes with the word "say". The sound "oo" can be made by rounding your lips slightly and pushing your tongue towards the roof of your mouth.
