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

    I try my best to say [ˈbloːhaj] like in Swedish (should sound kinda like “BLO-hayeh” with the “eh” clipped off), but the terminal [j] is really hard to get right since I don’t speak any languages that end words with a “y” sound. I usually end up saying [ˈbloʊhɑː] (BLO-ha) instead, getting both syllables wrong :(.

    [ˈbloʊhaɪ] (BLO-hai) is what I hear most other people say.
