When an American says "I drive a Hundai." Do they mean Honda or Hyundai? Because this has me stumped,not sure what cars you chaps mean?

Honda=Hon-dah
Hyundai=High-und-A

So yeah,not totally sure what cars you mean when saying Hundai.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Sounds more than Handai to me.

Please do not send me group invites.

Hyundai has several American pronunciations:

Hun-day
Hi-un-day
Hi-un-die
Hun-die

Octavia is best pony.

Hyundai is really pronounced something like "hyun-deh", based off the original Korean.

I simply separated the syllables to show people how they should be pronounced without an accent. Now give me an answer damn you!

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

I've always pronounced Hyundai as

hyun-DAY

With a very brief "ha" sound preceding the "yun" such that it's a single syllable.

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

Hun-die is how I say it. Then ive heard it as hun-day.

Never forget:
Porch Day

Gen Petitt Day
Night of the Living Alts

Are the Brits seriously this dumb? It's Hyundai.

  • 12.10.2012 4:12 PM PDT

You pronounce it like sunday. And I thought Bungie got rid of the report troll.

  • 12.10.2012 4:13 PM PDT

Relevant, a bit racist but meh.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

I used to manage a camera store that was owned by one of their engineers. The correct way is He-Yun-Dai. Though, pronouncing it Hundai isn't ffensive, just wrong.

Shoot me a pm if you want to talk about anything!

All the Hyundai commercials say it "hun-day" so that's how I would say it if I ever did.

Remember kids: when Uncle Delta tells you he has sweeties, he isn't lying.

Now get in the van.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Honda: "hon-duh"
Hyundai: "hun-die"

I think most of the reason you don't understand people saying the names are because of peoples' accents.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

I pronounce it Hyun-dai.

Somebody showed me the Scarab Gun in Halo 2 once.
I was like WHOA DUDE, WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA

Hon-dah.
Hun-day.

It's completely different.
