Common Mispronunciations of Hyundai
Not hy-UN-day
The company's American advertising settled on HUHN-day, rhyming roughly with Sunday, and that is the version the dictionary records.
Not HY-oon-dye
The last part is a plain day, not a long i.
Tip: British advertising uses hy-UN-die instead, so you will hear two very different official versions depending on the country.
