I still have no idea how to pronounce Hyundai.

Hee-un-dai?

Hi-un-dai?

Hunt-dai?

Hu-in-dai?

Hin-dai?

It's Hyundai, like Sunday according to their Super Bowl ad

Were it korean, it would probably be Hyun-dai.

I usually pronounce it "hun-dai" or "off-brand honda"

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 points 10 months ago

The name of the company is the Korean word for "Modernity". It is pronounced like "Yun" with an "H" in front of it. Or "Hun", but with the "Y" from "Yum" after the H.

"He Yawn Day" is pretty close, but slur the first two words together into a single syllable, and make it rhyme with "Sunday"

The wikipedia page for Hyundai has a recording of the correct pronunciation.

People just assuming bad faith, I would totally get a "my grandchildren are in my selfish son's balls" sticker for my parents if it weren't a wierd thing to put on a car.

Overreacting much op?

Some people beat their kids and abuse them. These parents made a corny joke that nobody would have batted an eye at 10 years ago. Not that big a deal
