"Ah-oh-ee" is the true way to say it. [Yes, like yaoi, but without the y.]

OR you can just say, "Owwie," like you hurt yourself.

Either is fine.

Another way to see it is "aoi," as in "blue."

Yes, "aoi" does mean "blue," but that doesn't help pronounce it. XD

The "AE" sound as used in "Aeon Flux" would be the incorrect way to say it. The 'a' would be an "ah" sound. ^_-

I just call it Owwie, like Yaoi, without the Y.
