[Bla:haj] because it sounds funny

[–] Retreaux@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was genuinely in this camp

Blah-haj.

Which I know is horrible and wrong but I can't make myself stop.

ROFL, I always wondered if that was intentional or not. Thanks for solving the mystery!

[–] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Alternatively blåhaj or blaahaj.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Blähaj doesn't make any sense.

[–] Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 9 months ago

Bloahai, since that's his name

[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 25 points 9 months ago

[ˈbloːhaj] because that's how Blåhaj is pronounced.

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

Bleaux-Haii

[–] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

[ˈblʌˌhɑjˀ] is the real answer!

[–] BiggestBulb@kbin.run 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Blow-hi was how I thought it was pronounced (sorry, I would do the IPA, but I'm lazy)

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 18 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's ok, an IPA to me is a beer. Besides I can't pronounce the upside down e anyway.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Besides I can't pronounce the upside down e anyway.

If you speak English, you pronounce it all the time.

[–] sunbather@beehaw.org 5 points 9 months ago

cant vowel reduce gang

[–] lud@lemm.ee 15 points 9 months ago

I don't know IPA but I prefer which ever corresponds to Blåhaj. Anything else is stupid.

[–] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 14 points 9 months ago

Do I have to decide? 😖
Err, [Bla:haj] maybe?

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

blaw - high

[–] fntm@feddit.nl 11 points 9 months ago

Blaj

Like the Taj in Taj Mahal

[–] Blahaj_Blast@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess I both 🤷‍♀️

I pronounce it like the left, but my username is based on the right.

Also, I can't get over the trans colored hair 💜

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The artist is pas. They make lots of cool transfem art.
