Is it just me or does ponde (the bottom of the two) sound more Geordie?

The first bit does,i assume the pronouncing bit is done by Finnish able to speak English as opposed to English based Finns although technically the same,i also assume it is the English translation.

That site is supposed to be native speakers showing you how to pronounce names/words in their language. So it should be Finns pronouncing it.

None the less its a good find and thanks for sharing-i personally always thought it was hype-ier or hippy-er...
