Same here…. My pet peeve is when people pronounce Hyundai “like Sunday” I’m like “NO!!! That last part is like dye/die….Hyundai family is still living”

But I too was wondering why Swede wasn't the first to know, he’s out inside man in that region of the world….well maybe starseeker too, the two are our duo of Eastern Europe

Wut?

Anyway, you amerikans butcher it, as you do every swedish NHL players name too.

It's a shortening for "Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd", the first two are the creators name and the last two his home towns... So I guess you can pronounce it how you choose, but we say "Ee-keh-ah".
