neutral  Libero_Lang_Lab: While I agree with the principle, do you know this for a fact? Pronunciation rules in English as you well know Mats have many exceptions...

  -> Indeed! Bernard Shaw 'fish' = [kof]

agree  eldira: I agree with Mat's suggested pronunciation. Can't think of a better example. Pronounce the 'u' in Budiman as you would the 'u' in dude.

disagree  Kardi Kho: the 'u' in 'bu' is the short 'u', not u: and the 'a' in man should be 'A' (like the german 'mann' not like the english 'man')

  -> OK for someone knowing Indonesian, but that is the kernel problem. Who pronounces it?

budiman


Explanation:
The pronounciation is like this:

Bu = like in the word "boom" <bu:>
di = like in the word "deer" <di:>
man = like in the word "mom" or "father" (or if you are familiar with German, it is like "Mann")

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2002-08-27 15:38:24 (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

another equivalent for the pronounciation `man\' = fun

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

A correction, for the pronounciation of `bu\' it is closer to `dude\'.
