    How to pronounce "Hyosung"

    Whenever anyone mentions hyosung they say "high sung". It actually pronounced "h yo sung". Is it just convenience or do they really think thats how you say it? Even the hyosung dealer in Takapuna says it wrong.

    Not that i really care but its weird they cant say it right.

    It is tricky to do it in our tongue, we must cross to a native correspondent...

    Don't expect too much, Hyosung is a foreign word. Many people can't spell "eh" and that's English - and it only has two letters.

    Without a word of a lie, the question raised by this thread did cross my mind on the ride home tonight.
