Trouble is that if we pronunce correctly, no one will know what we're talking about.
So we’re basically pronouncing it right :|
If I was to say 'Nike' as 'Nikeee', people wouldn't know what the hell I was talking about and would think I'm stupid.
It seems like we accepted wrong pronounciation as a correct one. But then again it also comes down to the point where many can't pronounce every name or word, so we implement incorrect pronounciation to pronounce those names or words easier.
French is a really though language, but I gotta admit it sound hot and charming when a female speaks it.
g u Exactly XD
Lol truth

Thanks bro I am appreciating this.
Waste time watching first 1:30 minutes. Loads of crap for longer watch time .
You’re the best!
super!
For me, Loewe has always been a TV premium brand from Germany. Not as old as the Spanish one, but neverheless, around since 1923.
...and it's pronounciation it's closer to 'love'
☺
true - Its a German brand... but actually, I have no real clue how Loewe should be pronounced as it is a surname. I always say "Löwe" (Lion in German) as we normally put an "OE" to be a "Ö". But as said - as it is a surname it might be way different
Hi Lucy! I'm French and I agree with your pronunciation of the French brands, except however for #1 Hermès. First, you got the spelling wrong, it's an "accent grave" on the second e -> è, and we actually pronounce the word like "airmess", with an S sound at the end.
Also, I love your videos! Keep up the good job 👍🏻 😘
Nice. I donno but even reading or listening to word 'french' attracts me.

I’m American and everyone pronounces Nike correctly
It is incorrect hahaha. In fact it comes form “Nike” the Greek goddess known for being the victory goddess. So, as an Ancient Greek would say, it’s actually N as in Nice, I as in Informal, K as in Karate and E as in Episode.
It’s difficult to explain ahahha
@@annabaars2418 im greek and as I know the E is also pronounced like in informal (im not sure if ancient greeks pronounced it differently)

I thought in Spain, we would pronounce a lot of brands in the wrong way, but suprisingly the only one I don't pronounce correctly is Nike
I speak Spanish too, Argentinian here! And to be honest the first one shocked me, I would have never thought of pronouncing Hermés as... the way she pronounced it first, “her-mees”? To me the “right” way was always the most obvious way of pronouncing it
In Italy too
Same, Nike is actually Nike because it comes from the Greek "Athena Nike", which is a statue in Greece. I learnt it in classic culture
Same
For france people too! Si easy exempt for "loewe"
I pronounce literally every word that you used in this video correctly🤣 But I’m Dutch and not English, so that’s a difference. We always pronounce brands or words from other countries exactly as they do😁
Except pretty much everyone here (maybe not you) says “Nike” and not “Niky”
@@charlottevanlangevelde1114 hahaha probably😂 I’m a sneaker freak so… and my dad always corrected me when I was little so.

People in general don't know how to pronounce German brands:
- Schwarzkopf: pronounced as Schvarzkopf.
- Volkswagen: pronounced as Folksvagen
- Audi: pronounced A-u-di
And Porsche, that was mentioned in the video.
The noun Loewe also looks german to me (It means lion). and I looked it up and it's also a german electronics company, and in German is written Löwe, so it's pronounced Löve with the umlaut sound.
I‘m german and i don’t understand How you mean to pronounce Audi..
It‘s One Word there isn’t a Pause between the letters
Milena Silva The Duden states it's pronounced with two syllables. Au-di with the normal «au» german pronunciation. That's what I meant by dividing the letters since English native speakers pronounce "au" as "o".
Those german brands are pronounced like you said coz they pronounce "w" as "v". I learned it in my german class. I love cars but I don't mostly know how to pronounce the others especially european cars

I'll never ever forget a pronunciation came out of this angelic barby 👍💚😍
Actually, it's pronounced erh-MEHs. The S is not silent, but very soft.
Eliana Silver she said the H is silent idiot
Actually the S needs to pronounced like a proper S in Hermès.
not like a Z.....”ERMESS”
David Dacus I'm talking about the S... really nice of you to call me an idiot!
Mamzelle M do you speak fluent French?
Eliana Silver I am French
Fun fact - in Poland we pronounce them all "correctly" - I mean the way you'd pronounce them in the original language. I live in UK though and noticed that most of foreign brand names are being pronounced "in English", like IKEA or Jysk for example. I struggled at first because others would find it funny or stupid when I pronounced certain names so I actually had to learn how to pronounce them "incorrectly" according to the video :)
How do English people even pronounce Jysk?
I think that pretty many non-english speakers know how to pronounce these or at least they try, and don't just butcher with their own language's pronounciation :D
Same here. In my experience English speakers (those who don’t feel the need to learn any foreign languages) like to make every language their own so they use the same pronunciation for foreign words.
Man what a problem
As an an American English speaker yeah we pronounce most of theses things incorrectly probably due to environment though. Although you probably should show them and for some a lot of English people learn Spanish so they should at least know the Spanish one right? Either way Nikee is the only one we pronounce correctly. Not talking about every American person, but the people I’ve met and seen.
Well, as a French native-speaker, I have to say that there is a mistake in the pronunciation and the writing of Hermès. It is Hermès with this accent è, and the pronunciation is with a s at the end, like in ‘gloss’.
Correct, if it was written with é like égal, the s would be silent: "Ermée".
I'm from Philippines and I just found this channel very informative. Just WOW!
I am german and I hate it when British or American or somebody else says adidas and Porsche wrong 😭
Jelena H in Britian the majority of people say the correct adidas
Jelena H i am not German but i hate when German say Ie Bi EM or Ge Pe S.
Lukas Gmünder ?
Sie hat Porsche im Video auch falsch gesagt 😂 also die meisten Amerikaner sagen es ja so : porschi und die Engländer posch. Sie hat posche im Video gesagt obwohl man eigentlich ja Porsche (also mit relativ hartem r) sagt. Außerdem kannst du sicher auch nicht alles richtig betonen
Jelena H. Different languages pronounce words and letters differently. You probably pronounce words derived from other languages wrong as well. Keep an open mind ☺
I just pronounce them the right way naturally, because I'm German..

Hello! I'm french and i'm happy to found your video, this very interessant. I just would like to correct you: french prounonce "n" at the end of the word, it's just that "ain" has a différent prononciation like "on" "en" "ein"
noemistigry fr I would like to add that "ain" "on" "en", etc. are known as nasal vowel sounds, so this is why you don't pronounce it! :-) they are just a total different sound.
i'm agree, that's différent à sound but we prononce it, i don't understand why do you say it ?

Aurel Raw u have amazing videos!
I checked out your channel and it is honestly great!!!
Milujem vaše videá!
English with Lucy thanks! Its so cute that you googled slovak language
hey Lucy!! I love that video! I'm French and actually the Hermès brand is pronounced with a final /s/ and not a /z/. Fortunately for us, pronouncing designer brands is not as hard because many of them are French ones!
Considering that Loewe is the german last name of one of their founders, I'd have to say that the Spanish are pronouncing their own brand wrong.
TheToughestBloke She also pronounced Porsche wrong, in Germany nobody says it like that
@@katha4581 Exactly - she still sounded English...got the 'o' all wrong.
In Italy we've got TV's and other electronic stuff branded "Loewe", we assume it's German and pronounce it the German way (word for "lion"). I was quite surprised to discover here, the English pronounce it the Spanish way. Turns out there are TWO "Loewe" companies, one fashion one tech, and one Spanish one German. Whatevvv... :)
@@katha4581 Is it just "porsh" Kathariana? Because I've got a bee in my bonnet about that. Especially as, my understanding is that in German its BMV (as the Werks is Verks). Curiously, people seem able to cope with that in Volkswagen (although not always).
ian9outof10 idk what she’s talking about but the girl in the video pronounced it right. Of course there’s a little bit of an English accent in her pronunciation but that’s ok it’s her mother tongue you cannot expect her to sound like a German native speaker lol. Lastly about BMW and Volkswagen, the thing is that w in German is pronounced as v and v is pronounced as f that’s why ;)
My pronunciation is on point. But Lucy is mesmerizing. I’m finna learn English a second time.
You pronounced Porsche wrong. Its with more "r" because its an German brand.
i got you...is it the rrr😂
corinna schwager hi
she also didn't pronounce the s from adidas that good
I don’t know if you are German or not so I will say it in English: If you want to say Porsche correctly in the German pronounciation ,you pronounce the „r“ like an „a“. Sometimes you have to pronounce the „r“ in a soft way.
corinna schwager she’s British and what she’s teachers is For the people who’s wanted to got the accents like her ( British) so she’s right ,, if you will look ,, She’s promote British Not German 🙂
Actually it is not “emes” for Hermès but “ermess” with the French R in the middle and a SS prononciation at the end..
I heard some call it "er-mey"
And for the (r), i dont think we should say it the way french say it, because then we have to have to say "Parthelona" for "Barcelona" too 🙄
The topic here is to pronounce brand names the original way. So yes it is eRmeSS. In your every day life you can say it as you want, but she is learning people to say it in french as it is a french brand so...
ikr what the f is she trying to learn ppl if she cannot pronounce some words correctly herself smh
Dawon
You're doing the french "r" sound actually pretty well ! Well done 😏
I concord, also Balmain is pretty good! :)
Any pronuncition that you do I ear so wonderfull. greetings from Costa Rica Lucy
so they pronounced like this?
hermes=airmez
adidas=adidas
balmain=balma
loewe=loeveh
moschino=moskino
versace=virsaceh
nike=naiki
thiery mugler=tiery mughleh
saint laurent=jz try pronouncing it like a french 😂
givenchy=geevanchi
Hermès =airmeS
Balmain= pronounce « ain » like number 1 in french 1=un Balm1 :-)
wrong, ain and un are two different phonemes. Ain is like vin, not un.
no, half of them are wrong
then how does it pronounced actually? 😂
see my explanations in the replies to her second question above about learning French and maths
i’m from germany and here everybody pronounce all of them right i think so
In German, how do you pronounce 'Loewe'? I thought it was the German word for 'lion', and being able to speak (some) German, I would never pronounce it the way Lucy says.
@saadgi shimaz Lowe is wrong... its "Löwe" and you can write it "Löwe" or "Loewe", because Ö and OE are pronouncet the same way. same thing for "Ä (ae)" and "Ü (ue)" its called "Umlaut"
I didn't agree with the schwa vocalization at the end of Porsche. Looking for the opinion of a german native.
@@pike666db yeah she didnt pronounce it correctly but for an english person its pretty good
Its just a plain "e" at the end...the german one of course
Clara Delater Löwe and Moschino would be wrong.....
Adidas is a german brand so it is quite right how she pronounces it. Like Uh-de-dus
Jasmin Lawrence that's soooo incorrect. I'm German and it is nothing like that actually. :)
Mary I'm german too and it is pronounced like that lol. Wie sprichst du denn Adidas sonst aus hahahhah
Jasmin Lawrence also sprichst du es quasi wie A-di-das und nicht wie Adi-das. Weil man spricht es wie die 2. Version aus
Anna hä im video ist es doch völlig richtig? Und für das adi gibt es halt verschiedene betonungen, wie bei allen namen. Dann ist trotzdem beides richtig, sonst müsstest du seine eltern fragen wie sie den namen aussprechen (geht logischerweise nicht) und deshalb kannst du nicht sagen auf welchem bucvstaben die betonung liegt, weil das jeder mensch anders macht. Bei allen namen. Bei namensbetonung gibt es kein richti und falsch.
Anna Das macht keinen Unterschied wenn man's ausspricht :D das im Video ist schon richtig

Actually English speakers have a hard time pronouncing German company names. Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Opel, Mercedes; just to mention some.
BMW is the best. They never called it be em we like we do in Germany 😂
@@Luke0193 Same with VW. I always wonder for a couple of seconds what "ve double u" car they are talking about.
Lisa as an American with a VW I tend to call it “vee double you” instead of “fau vay” which is how I’m guessing German speakers would say it. But if I ever say the full name of “Volkswagen” I always pronounce it the German way for some reason. I’ll also switch between “bee em vee” and “bay em vay” for some reason and sometimes for fun I’ll even say the full name of "Bayerische Motoren Werke".
No we don't
YAY I PROUNOUNCE ADIDAS RIGHT
Michelle SAMEEEE

Everyone in Germany pronounce it this way lol
trueeee. I am German and I can't stand when people pronounce Adidas wrong. Same with Mercedes.

I am every time amazed by your absolutely gorgeous face and hair coupled with the brilliant teaching skills. Thank you for making me still believe in existence of true beauty in this world, and of course for teaching me the correct pronunciation of the brands that I will hardly ever need to pronounce, except for maybe Porsche. :)
Actually everyone pronounces Hermès wrong. It’s Greek so it should be pronounced “Ehr-mees”. Same thing for “Nike”, it means “victory” in Greek so it should be pronounced “Neekee”
The word is french so it should be pronounced with a french accent. Same goes for the word 'Nike'. It should be pronounced following english pronunciation rules. Get over yourself
Even though its origin is debatable, Hermês is thought to be of Ancient Greek origin. The name is used in both Ancient Greek and Roman mythology, but as it was adopted as a French name it follows French pronunciation rules. Like Hermès, Nike borrows from the Ancient Greek mythology, but as it is an American company, it follows an American-English pronunciation. Bloo jkl45 was partially correct.
quadbox No I know the word is greek. I am Greek too. I meant the brand. So let me rephrase: Hermès is a french brand therefore its name should be pronounced with a french accent
Nike is an American company. Doesn't matter if you think the word is taken from the latin. It's NOT pronounced Nee Kee you idiots. It is pronounced with a long I and end with "kay" . Do go around correcting how people say their own names bc the origin of that name is this. You wouldnt. You'd respect how they chose to pronounce it. Daft goons!
Nike is american company!

You should also have mentioned the extremely commonly mispronounced brand name IKEA. Most English speakers seem to pronounce it like "Aye-ke-ah". For those of you who didn't know - the brand name is an acronym for Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd, the company's founder and his birthplace. The correct pronounciation should be "Ee-ke-ah". Got it? ;)
It is better not to know the origin of the brand in this case, as this Kamprad guy was a Nazi. The same is with Porsche, Hugo Boss. Also somewhat similar to how you should not wonder why one of the biggest construction companies worldwide is called Bin Laden Group.
U made my day.. Watching your video.. Love u lu cy..
Nike is a greek word, meaning victory. The "I" is pronounced as "ee" or as the final "e".
Yup, goddess of victory. There's the famous headless statue with wings - that's her.
You are right. I have already said in the comentaries
It’s a Greek word, but it’s an American brand, and there’s certain system in which Greek is anglicized for American English which produces the pronunciation “Naiki”. It’s based on Classical Greek with many vowel shifts over the years, that’s why most of the vowels haven’t iotacized like in Modern Greek.
is a goddess not only a word ....

3:02 in spanish W is not pronounced as V that is in german. W is pronounced as u. Loewe in german not spanish. Sorry but you do not know some aspects of what you are saying
151621 I agree and I double checked that right after she pronounced it, believing my Spanish knowledge was sufficient enough. Though this is correct, however, the company was founded in Madrid in 1846 by Spanish craftsmen. In 1876, the name Loewe came up due to a German craftsman - Enrique Loewe Roessburg - joining the group. Glad to clear that up for others. :-)
Plus it's the o and e are not pronounced separately but together and that makes the "umlaut" ö , wich is german
True but the end part was kind of harsh (no offense)
W in spanish is pronounced as in English
Im German w is w. Sometimes it is v or f but in this way it is w so you really pronounce it as an w and the word Loewe is the same as löwe. And that's the German word for lion.
The pronunciation of those Italian brands was perfect. Brava!
Who said all brand names have to be pronounced exactly as in their native language?
Then, you should never say "bi-em-double-u" for BMW, please call it "Be Em Ve", as it sounds in German, haha
Just call it "Beamer".
in french we call it "be emm double ve"
Or they could say:
Bayerische Motoren Werke.
(Bavarian Motor Works)
- What do you drive?
- I drive Bayerische Motoren Werke E sechs und vierzig.
😂😂😂
@iLikecatz but like do u really have ti emphasize certain letter like r? I mean do u need to copy everything? That would be hard
@@dee-jaylibnao8602 at least you shouldn't get these wrong, because it's so common... And I always pronounce VW the way the Germans would and Hyundai as the Korean would... Or maybe it's only me that knows how they're pronounced? 🤔
You pronounced boyfriend wrong. It must be best friend, "best friend." :'(
haha
English with Lucy yes, Lucy. Don't hurt people lmao 😂
Lol
hahAha
Friendzone:))
I can’t be the only one that didn’t know some of these brands 😂
Nope.

I'm Italian and this is an other: Ferrari. It's not Feraari, but FeRRAri. In Italian the r is very pronounced. Like you tell SheRlock Holmes.
Yes, in Italian you pronounce both letters separately wherever there's a double letter. So Ferrari is pronounced Fer-rari.
3:44 I've lived in a lie :'(
The Little Things haha... I could never imagine someone saying Nike wrong because the brand actually is from my state Oregon... if that’s what your talking about
Liberty Hubbard l've always said it wrong lol. I didn't know that it is pronounced Nikey :'(
i’m italian and every time i hear “VERSACI” i dead inside. is VERSACE
Denise Fabiani si ma cosa c'entra con il commento originale ahaha

adailytaekook

We pronounce some of these well in Hungarian 😄
I really enjoyed it. Thanks
I know Nike is pronounced Nikey but I've always said Nike 😂
You do you Soph ❤️
Sophie Batson yeah but you wouldn't pronounce bike as Biky ??
Sophie Batson same
"Nike" is a LATIN word!! Therefore it MUST be pronounced /nike/ !! Moreover I'm Italian so I know latin so please trust me.

Greetings from South Korea!!! Hi Lucy:)
김형종 South Korean Here too !
Smiley Ramon Happytime Hi!!! I've never expected to meet another Korean in this channel! I'm so surprised:)
김형종 :)
Kim hyung-jong? Forgive me if I am mistaken
파울라김 thank you
My son used to have a t-shirt with Moschino printed on it, and because it resembles the Russian word Мужчина ( a man ) so much, it was the fun way to pronounce it exactly like that, especially since it was a little man who wore it.
You write Hermès with grave accent not with a acute accent
Mr T Raa I’m pretty sure it’s silent
@@mrtraa2639 no it's not silence, we pronounce it
@@lulu-qz2en I thought it was silent, too. Is it an exception or something?
@@luciacecilia there isn't so many words in french with a final "ès". So I guess we just know which ones we have to pronounce (herpès, cacatoès, faciès) and the silent ones (après, décès, progrès). By the way, if there is a grammatical logic i'm curious to know !
Right. She said it correctly : Ärmäs. So it is with grave accent. Otherwise it must be Ärmees.
We have an angel teacher?
Welcome to northern Europe! :-)
Here's another angel: ruclips.net/video/ewoQpAWx9jE/видео.html
Beware of Hermès ...The second syllable is written with an è, not with an é. Also, pronunciation is a short 'è' plus a 's', not a long 'è' plus a 'z' !
So cute when pronouncing! I love it! 😍😍😍
Porsche is afaik a German brand. We call it a tiny bit different: The „e“ at the end is spoken similarly as the first „e“ in „terrible“
U know that u can just do "" instead of ,, and ” right :/
korrekt.
Arina81 Relourde yeah it’s an eh being 100% accurate, but I think because of the English language or whatever, pronouncing Porsche as Porscha flows better for the tongue. Honestly, Porsch just sounds awful
Syntax Error ok, were they trying to hide the fact they’re German...?
That is exactly why I am here - to improve my English.
Being not a native speaker is not a shame as far as I know. So no reason to blame me I think....
please make a video of American and British grammar.Plz plz make that.
WE DUTCH PEOPLE GOT ADIDAS RIGHT! YAAS! AND NIKE!
Well since, Adidas is a German word, and Dutch is very similar to german its really not that absurd.
SWGYArnold yes i know😂 but like some people that i know say it the "american" way so yeh😂😂
I’m currently living in the Netherlands, and I have yet to meet a single Dutch person who has pronounced “Nike” correctly... Where have you been? Haha
AmeliaLovez same here, i am surprise, we are indonesian also got it right, adidas and nike 😁
AmeliaLovez echt he xd
excellent pronunciation! i am italian and fashion is a huge part of our culture. U pronounced these beautifully
what did you learn from this video?
" she has a boy friend"
I know- quite disappointed now... Damn it! I love Lucy!😎🤗🥰
Husband 😊
@@sarahjanealacbay6782 Yes, indeed. Unless they've divorced, which would be shocking. But then again, her boyfriend could just be another one.
4:22 I hear Laurel
No, It's Yanny..lol

ITS YANNY WTF
lol
It's YANNY
very proud that i am portuguese speaker and have actually always pronounced all of these brands correctly. the perks of speaking a romance language 👐
that is awesome! I always find that the Portuguese pronounce things very accurately!
Alice Bonfim i thought "romance" language was french lol
Moon Struck french is one of the romance languages!!
Alice Bonfim thanks, i agree.
Moon Struck Well it's a fact, not really something to agree or disagree with. 😂
You got me there I only got
1. Hermés
2. Adidas
3. Nike
4. Ralph Lauren
U sound like Siri on my phone when u pronounced the brands 😂😂😂😂
#Unicorn Squad Siri is either british or american, how come french, italian, .......

I come from Denmark and I pronounced all of these correct lol
yay go Denmark
Cecilie Din If you can pronounce Danish, then every other word on the planet must be a snap!
Det fordi dansk er bedst
Cecilie Din Nice country !
Hermès is a Greek name
Is the name of an Olympian Greek god
That's why the letter H isn't pronounced 🙃
Danai Nikou i am from Greece!!
Percy Jackson? You read it too?
So for hades would it be ades like aids LMFAOOOO
@@dimsummm OMFG I LOVE THAT BOOK I'M ON THE LAST ONE THE LAST OLYMPIAN
@@Zai-w4o I have read the entire Percy Jackson series. (I LOVE IT SO DAM MUCH) And for The Heroes of Olympus I'm on House of Hades. (And no H is not silent in Hades and it is pronounced Hade-ee-s.) 😊
Hey Lucy, please can you do a video on the correct pronunciation for school
