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.

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')

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")
--------------------------------------------------

another equivalent for the pronounciation `man\' = fun

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