I know you're supposed to pronounce it along the lines of "blo-hi", but the Anglicized "blahaj" is so hard to resist!

Everything from 'blaw-high' to 'blah-hadge' but it tends to trend towards simply, 'shonk'.

Good shonk.

He has so many different pronunciations for sure! :3

Well, I'm from Sweden so... blåhaj lol

The "å" is pronounced like the "a" in "war", if someone from Britain was saying it. Haj is kinda like "hi", I guess?

Distinguishing between /ˈbloːhaj/ and /ˈbloʊhaɪ/ is difficult, at least for this anglophone.

/ˈblɑːhɑːʒ/ is the meme name though

Yeah I can't help but say it in the Anglicized "bla-ha-j", but I always say it in a bit of a goofy way like, a bit of a sing-songy way. Like, musically F-[bla], D-[haj]. Its just too fun saying it like that.

Bl-arge because it makes me laugh

/bla/ /hah/ ?
