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

    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

      As an English speaker that learned some Swedish, å is an A pretending to be an O.
