טקסי

[Ali Smith]

שלום

I know native speakers hardly ever use the word מונית, preferring to use the English loanword טקסי. My question is: is it pronounced taksi or teksi? I mean, is the first vowel a פתח or a סגול?

אני מודה לכם מאוד

This is not true.

Native speakers use "מונית".
There's one specific taxi company called Gett taxi, and it's pronounced teksi.
