My last name is Pronounced "Môn - llor" em Português but in Spain is "Môn Jor" and in other countryies like Argentina, Venezuela they say "Môn Lhor" I just give up too
@@lucasmonllor433 Wait so how is it actually pronounced? Phonetically speaking? Sorry if Im being ignorant, I would actually like to know. Are the double ll’s pronounced like an L?
Probably. My name is pronounced “Care-Oh-LINE” but I answer to “Care-oh-LYNN” if you don’t know me.. Or if it doesn’t matter that you know how to pronounce my name correctly (if I like you or otherwise see you enough, I’ll remind you!)
Nadja is greek, she even swears in greek in a couple of episodes. We use that name (although it's pretty rare) and pronounce it nad-ya without a j, so that's probably the right way
@@fuzzyzombielove She was literally born in Greece too, confirmed in the Atlantic City episode when Gizmo had to get new soil from the place of her birth.
It’s fun to see that each character pronounces it differently, esp since they all have different backgrounds language wise. It’s also fun to see how the inflection of their voice effects the pronunciation
I thought I was hearing things throughout the whole series. Some people were saying “Nard-jar” some say “Nah-di-uh” some say “Nad-yuh” and then there’s the “Nar-zjar”. I didn’t realise it was a running gag I thought they had just all read the script and never heard anyone say her name until they said it themselves 😂
I don't know if the differences are so big that they constitute a deliberate choice or running gag, the "dj" sound is kinda difficult and most English speakers would not be sure between the hard and soft J sound. Spoken as someone with a more difficult and unusual name, people are just .....like that sometimes. But sure, I could be wrong.
Well for that matter, it's never confirmed if we're supposed to pronounce "Guillermo" as "Guillermo" or "Gizmo," this show was too confusing for me to keep up with,
Nadia ia actually a pretty common name in Russia and Ukraine. Actually the whole name would be pronounced as Na-di-ya in Ukraine, which means 'hope' in Ukrainian.
@doom I agree, but at the same time they often mispronounce it in the show and the video is about it, so I decided to share, thank you for understanding :)
Her full name is Nadja of Antipaxos. Antipaxos is an island in the very northwest of Greece, so it's most likely that she either spoke Greek or Albanian in life. Albanian uses a "y" sound for its "j"s, so if she spoke Albanian her name would be closer to "Nad-ya" or "Na-di-a". If she spoke Greek, it would be highly dependent on dialect, but it would probably be closer to "nad-cha" or "nad-zha".
The pronounciation is funny to me, I know she is Greek-Romani but nadja overall means "hope" in some slavic languages and should be pronounced nad-ya. However, in polish the word is "nadzieja" and sounds much closer to nad-ja, but is missing an "e" sound.

I like to imagine she has told them exactly how to pronounce her name, but has given up on trying to get them to say it properly
100% agree

She's actually Romani. It makes sense that she'd speak Greek.

Her actress' dad is Greek-Cypriot, so that's probably why.
@@bigfatdynamo246 Yes, Andja of Antipaxos!
The way she, herself, pronounces it @ 1:30, is how we say it in Greek

That's why Laszlo uses "my darling" more often

seems like it was done purposely to add some realism and dimension to the characters 🤷🏾♂️

i call him Gigi. hahahaha like the tag
We on Tumblr call him Memo
I'm Spanish speaker, and It's pronounced moreless like "Ge-yer-mo-", Gizmo is more like a mocking nickname
@@monke_penguin They know that, it's a joke.:)
@@TheHopperUK Oh, ok, thanks for the explanation :)
Pretty much anyone with even the slightest foreign-sounding name can attest that this is a daily occurrence in their lives.
This is the situation for everyone all over the world, of any ethnicity, visiting or living in a foreign country.
@@julitakamaki4386How about living in your own country and still having to correct someone about your name 🙃
I know that it is probably pronouned nad-ya but I feel like the changing pronouncation fits the show quite well
Even if they're almost all the same, I appreciate the time this must have taken

@doom Nadia is Slavic variation of Arab name Nadja, so chill
we have name Nadja in europe, with a J
Im pretty sure they've confirmed that shes Greek, she even swears in greek in a few episodes
@doom don't be so literal
The counter going off while barely hearing her name in the background. 😂
Notcha average girl next door.
I do think being hundreds of years old precludes one from being a girl though, haha
After the 400th time, I was hearing "nausea".
I started hearing "'naggia", short for "mannaggia" (Italian), which translates to "damn it"
if she gets a buck every time someone mispronounces her name, she woould be so rich
Everyone who is Eastern European or comes from an Eastern European family feels the pain
yep
my friend has a czech surname and i feel like this is just her life lmao
My name is Nadia and I can tell you right now that you NEVER find a personalized name tag with Nadia on it lol 😂
Now I gotta make one and hide it to prove you wrong
Honestly same- My name is Nadja and literally I cant find a single name tag for it 😫
You surprise me every single time.
Nadja's name surprised me, it's exactly the same way you would pronounce Nađa/Nadja in Serbian
I was waiting for someone serbian to appear in the comments
Nausea! Nau-se-A!

Most greeks are albanian anyway. Cypriots too.

Then again, if I, Polish, saw the name Nadja with no prior context, I would probably say it nad-ya, not nad-ja
Another great one!
okay youtube recommended, you win.
always tought it' s Nadja, but definitely not Nadja ..maybe Nadja, i'd accept even Nadja, but never Nadja, Nadja is not correct 100%
Mine is pronounced Nadia. It all depends on which country you're from and how that country pronounces "j". it can be "j", can be "i", can be "y"
and yes, my name is Nadja. But i deliberately write it Nadia in english communities so that people don't mispronounce it
I can't believe I never noticed this before!
Never watched this but my name is actually Nadja :D (spoken Nad-i-a). So weird to hear my own name repeated so often lol.
I love this omg
I'm Slav and pronounce in Na-di-ya, cause that is the way it is spelled.
As someone whose name is Nadia, this was completely hilarious
w my stupid monolingual ears I have to stare at the counters to see which is being said
I usually pronounce it as nad-jah since in my language (Serbian) dj is a seperate letter
After watching this, all of them sound weird
Almost sounds like Nigel 😂
They all have different accents so they might well pronounce her name differently.
When we slavs come to america, we get a brand new name that sounds kinda like ours.
guillermo always says na-zha and it's the one i notice the most and it's so annoying dfnosivno like i love him but baby that's not her name
Well, to be fair THEY call him Gizmo
She thought his last name was Buillermo, so....
nad ya!
i mean she can't even say jeff. so.
"NAHDIE"
nadya comes from the russian word 'nadezhda' meaning hope
I thought it was Nad-ej-da?
Надя!
They all sound the same to me
as someone with an annoyingly unpronouncablcable eastern european name I get it right?
My great aunt Nadja can confirm it’s pronounced nah-zyah but nad-jah is acceptable
That is my name 😅
Nadja
The
Love/hate d
It's pronounced "nausea"
I say it in my own language version of the name, easier
nausea?
LMAOOOOO
nausea........
I`m from Germany and my mothers name is Nadja and i would say you pronounce it Nah-di-ja (ja as in some americans like to say out of fun)
That's generally how we pronounce that name in the US, but we tend to spell it the way it is on the keychain she has at the end. Nadia.
Americans say “ja” for fun? Man am I behind the times
Natasia/Natasha...
Clickbate. Almost no one said anything else but Nadja.
