Nope, can't pronounce that "fun day," either. Not happening (nt)

Closest I can get is "foon die." Prefer "fiun" though.

But you understood the meaning I was intending to convey, therefore, my mission is in a state of accomplishment. :-P

Going to the most reliable sources in the known universe, I grabbed
Quote:
(Hangul: 현대; Hanja: 現代; /ˈhjʌndɛ/)
from Wikipedia, cut it down to
Quote:
현대
現代
and pasted it into google translate, which detected the Korean and offered as pronunciation "hyundee" and "hundeh," the second one matching what Wikipedia says for the Hanja, (/ˈhjʌndɛ/). That second bit is just the first half of "day."
Having it treat it as Chinese, which of course is how I read the "-dai" part of "Hyundai," changes the pronunciation entirely.
