Should probably note that my last name isn't actually difficult to pronounce or spell. The issue is that people often mistake the nationality (often for German) and as a result pronounce it differently.
Quote: SamiusI'm not really sure how to explain it. The finnish "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "father", but it's shorter. The "i" is like the "e" in "see", but it's shorter also. In fact the whole thing is pronounced really fast, like a casual blink of an eye.
I'm not sure if this helps, but I tried.
Sah-me?
That would probably be pretty close. I'll have to get into a group call someday and let you hear it.

An a that sounds like an r :/
Are you some kind of language witch, trying to corrupt the alphabet?
No, I'm Finnish.
