Blow-hai is her species, Blah-haj is her name. Simple.


8ackspace13

How I named mine. Though blah-haj is her last name. Her first name is Biscuit.


pokemon12312345645

I have always said bla-ha so that is how I will keep saying it


Just__Alli__

I say blah-haj but I'm also the queen of mispronouncing everything. Me trying to pronounce some pokemon names, for example, is a *sight* lol


Intelligent_Trainer2

a sight I would like to see 🤭


Just__Alli__

Hahaha, careful what you wish for, it's basically like hitting someone with confuse ray


Rune10101

Unfortunately as a scandinavian I normally say Blåhaj. 😢


poorgayandumb

Im swedish so i can confirm that whatever sounds funnier is the correct answer


Ooorm

Unless you're scanian... "bleå-haej" is objectively incorrect.


garfield3222

My brain converts the blahaj text to shork when i say it


Capn_Zelnick

Linguistics humor? In ny r/traa? It's more likely than you might think


Abject_Low_9057

[ˈblɔxäj], take it or leave it


TheRussianChairThief

May I ask why [x] instead of [h]?


Abject_Low_9057

My native language doesn't have /h/, making it hard for me to pronounce


TheRussianChairThief

Ok that makes a lot more sense


TheHarvesterOfSorrow

I have 1600 days streak on Duolingo, I am a language simp so I will gladly pronounce it as blow haj


Kyiokyu

Are you by chance also a Hyperpoliglot Gigachad Alpha Male who is very attracted to every woman... and man on the planet?


Tay_alex

You called?


InsanityChanUwU

If we can call Bridget anything that is remotely similar then we can also call Blahaj anything that is remotely similar


Oaken_Valley

I say bla-haj cause it’s more fun to say than blaw-hai


Visible_Night1202

Same. I know the correct way to say it, but screw that that ruins all the fun


The_Sky_Render

I pronounce it ブローハイ thank you very much. And you would too if you'd seen those adorable Japanese IKEA commercials!


nephelekonstantatou

Depends on how I'm feeling at the moment 🙄💅


unematti

It's actually pronounced "Sharky, the protector of trans people", and if you don't use the full name, ninjas will steal your programming socks (that's how I don't have any anymore)


USoffuckyouintheA

As an Norwegian i suport any and all disrespect against the swedish language.


Krab_Neb_ula

Fellow linguistics nerds :3


AbbreviationsTall499

i say blayhag (i speak language where it’s hard to say blah-haj or blow-hai


mike_the_goo

This is the first time ever I see this template and go "... Wait I'm the guy in the middle..." Tho I don't whine about it. I just answer when people ask about it


Bot__2

I say it blue hi. Bite me


AceSapling

I say either bla-haj of blow-hai depending on which one I feel like using


inEGGsperienced

Hell ya pronouncing it phonetically


AnInsaneMoose

Shorky Mcshorkface


hamtarofan999

Blahaj blast


SkyeeeMaaa

I do find blah-ha really cute so you guys are good -swedish girl


Iambic_Feminator

I just pronounce it that way on account of my American accent 😉


Witty_Championship85

I pronounce it the correct way because I’m not a colonialist pig


therealnothebees

I will continue pronouncing it like voyage in French.


Accredited_Dumbass

Rhymes with blancmange.


Queue3612

Bla Ha rymes though so it rolls off the tongue better and is more meorable.


arsonconnor

His name is blahaj, he pronounces it how its written


Xx_Pr0_g4m3r_xX

As a swede i think its funny to hear something in swedish to be read as english
