To all the nice people who answered to my question on the pronunciation of "rubik", I want to thank you all.

Fortunately, I didn't get to read the last response, which was the reason why my question was suppressed.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get to award points because of that, but I want to thank you all again, especially the hungarian person whose opinion was a nice thing to read for all of us.

Thanks again! And see you some other time.

Regards,
Nat

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Dear all, First of all, I would like to thank Mats Wiman for unsquashing my question and giving me the possibility of deciding what to do with it. Second of all, I chose Csaba Ban's answer not only because he provided the English (mis)pronunciation - which was what I needed - but also because he cited the source of the phonetics information. But what I liked most of Csaba Ban's answer was his last paragraph, which I am personally going to cite when teaching my ESL students. I recommend you all to read it. Once more, I want to thank you all for taking the time. I'll take into account Attila's pronunciation option if I happen to be in Hungary and if I happen to mention Rubik's Cube while visiting that surely wonderful country. Thanks again a million times and see you some other time! Regards, Nat"

Dear Nat,

If you are still in doubt, please repost the question under "Hungarian (monolingual)" [Hungarian > Hungarian]!

Best regards,

Sven.
