Keeping on the comparison with Spanish - и is i (in hijo), and й is y (in yo).
Or don't you really notice the difference between an English y (in say, day, yes) and an English ee (in meet, see,...

Say would be "сэй", not "сэи" at all. These (й and и) are two different letters and two different sounds.

Сэи sounds like sa- (from "say") + ee (from "meet"). Actually it's something difficult to...

The nick is сэи. The second letter is Э, not Е.

That's why I don't like "kh"!

So do you pronounce this "kh" like russian "х"?

I think "kh" is not correct. I don't understand, why do you use "kh". "H" in "hut" is closer.
