How you pronounce this word is "mun-dayn"
It is an adjective because it is a describing word.
Such as: "You have a very mundane life. How can you stand to live that way?"
& "What a mundane day. Nothing new happened today, just the same old, same old."
Other forms of this word can be "mundanely" (adverb) & "mundaneness" (noun).
I would say that this word is best to use with boring teachers (generally speaking) and during ordinary events. Use it when you want to explain something that was very average. Use it with adults, co-workers, family members, anyone who you would think would understand the meaning of this word.
Synonyms: day-to-day, everyday, normal, routine, humdrum.
The word I think most relates to "mundane" would be "normal" & "everyday" because "mundane" basically has the meaning of something that you are used to, something that is normal to you. Something not out of the ordinary and something that seems like every other day. Nothing special.
Antonyms: fresh, new, original.
(hahahahaha)
I would give this word a 5 out of 5 because I give every word a 5 out of 5. Actually, the real reason why I would give this word a 5 out of 5 is because I really enjoy how dead on this word is. "Mundane" sounds like a word that drags on and is very "average". The way it sounds fits the definition. It is a great describing word when you are looking for the right words to describe your day. It's something that could come in handy one day when you are at a loss for words and are looking to spice up your average day with a neat sounding word. Instead of "My day was very ordianry." You can say "My day was very mundane."
The reason why I chose this video is because if you watch it all the way through, it's something that she expected to happen. Even in the beginning, he states how he was late again. It's normal to him. Although he tells her he has a surprise for her, he is late, as usual. He's always late, so it was not out of the ordinary for her to wait so much longer than the planned time he stated he'd be there. Therefore; his actions turned out to be very mundane. Minus the surprise part. P.S. Watch till the very last second.
