How do you pronounce "Hyundai"? - 5/2/2006 6:26:57 PM    pearl151999   Posts: 15 Joined: 3/25/2006 Status: offline This may sound silly but is Hyundai pronounced "Hun-day" or Hun-die"? I have heard it both ways. One web site said that "Hun-day" is used 99% of the time. Just trying to get it right. Thanks! Post #: 1

Talking to friends who recently returned from several years in Korea, they say the Korean pronunciation is "hyoon dee". In American advertising, it's pronounced "Hun day" which is apparently an Americanization of the word. _____________________________ (in reply to Patrick) Post #: 4

I started by calling them High-un-dye but was the only one around here doing it. The "Y" is silent to us rednecks... (in reply to Doohickie) Post #: 5
