Funny story I didn’t know it was supposed to be pronounced as blohai, until one time I was hooking up with another trans woman from tinder and she got excited when she saw my blahaj and kept pronouncing in the worst way possible (correctly but I didn’t know). I chose to not “correct” her but I was like wow weird
It bugged me so much that I googled it next morning and realized I’m the silly one
Also, the blahaj is called steve in my household and it’s the only way one shall refer to steve.
Wait, what's the difference between "dzh" and a "hard j"? (Assuming "zh" refers to the final sound in "garage.") The "hard J" is just a combination of "d" and "zh".
I think I might be wrong, but I personally say it blah ha. But I don't think this is how its meant to be said lol, like you said blo-hi is the one that I think? maybe is correct

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

Bluh-hazh, where "zh" is the final sound in "garage." In IPA, that's [b^h^lə'hɑʒ].

there is no difference, a hard j (like in jacket) is the same thing as "dzh", just "dzh" is more spelled out instead of just being a name for it

I do pronounce the "j" as a "y" sound but my "å" is def not correct, it ends up as way too "a" and not "o" enough xD

Everything from 'blaw-high' to 'blah-hadge' but it tends to trend towards simply, 'shonk'.
Good shonk.

I pronounce it like blåhaj ”blo-hi”. I’m a bit biased though since I’m from Ikea land myself.
