      Spelling does not equal pronunciation. Case in point: laugh, rough, tough, height, neighbour, nation, you get the point. I hope. But also, as mentioned in the video, some pronunciations are regional.

    Nutella is a typical Italian product and as 100% Italian, born raised and residing in Italy I can tell you that the "u" is pronounced like the "u" in the word "sure" or the double "o" in the word "soon". Since Nutella is an Italian product I think it should be pronounced the Italian way. I think the same about IKEA: I can't stand the Americanisation of its pronunciation, even if the Swedish seem not to care so much. I think it's just very arrogant.

    Another one is "Willys" the defunct automobile manufacturer famous for making the WWII "Jeeps" It is pronounced "Willis" not "Willees" Another fun fact is that the "Jeeps" predate the Jeep brand. Some say "Jeep" was a slang term for them because they were classified as GP vehicles, general purpose vehicles, and when you pronounce "GP" it sounds like "jeep" Its also said they were named after a cartoon character named "Eugene the Jeep" but are technically a Willys MB. Ford also made an identical version of the Willys MB called the Ford GPW

    NO it’s actually ad-ee-dass, not adi-dass!! WATCH PRONUNCIATION VIDEOS ON ADIDAS. HE IS WRONG. But only about that particular one. The creator of adidas, his name was Adi Dass, so he named the brand that. Omg I always thought Nutella was pronounced Nut-Ella because it has freaking HAZELNUTS in it duh. But nooo, of course Nutella just wanted to make it different to pronounce.. sigh...

    Second: PronUNciation.
    Third: Adidas DOES have the emphasis on the first syllable. There's another video on this & it's been pointed out there the company was founded by Adi Dassler, so ADidas is the way to say it properly.

    The part about Adidas is completely crap! It is the blend of the founder's name Adolf Dassler. The usual diminutiv for Adolf is "Adi"; by chance, my own grandpa's first name was Adolph (with ph at the end), and he was also called "Adi" throughout his life. Therefore, the only correct (German) pronunciation is stressing the FIRST syllable, not the second one like most English speakers do it due to misleading video clips like this one ...

    • @HenryLoenwind
      @HenryLoenwind 7 лет назад +2

      I think this stems from splitting Adidas into 3 instead of 2 syllables. It's "ADI-das", not "A-di-das" or "a-DI-das"...

    • @screaminlordbyron7767

    • @stefankuhlberg9596
      @stefankuhlberg9596 7 лет назад +1

      So what? The stress on the second syllable is still wrong then. Only ignorant people use English emphasis rules for some foreign terms. In German, the correct stress is "ADI-das", period. There is no alternative to it, and this is a clear case (There are other cases of doubt or several correct possibilities in German as well). And due to the fact that it is a German brand, name, and origin, people should do it correctly the German way also in English. Take for example the brand "Chanel". Do you pronounce it like "channel" (water)? No, it's French, you say cha-NELL. There might be better examples because of the number of "n", but you know what I mean. Why the heck do people do it wrongly then when it comes to German?! If I would say pre-SI-dent instead of PRE-si-dent, English native speakers would correct me as well, wouldn't they?

    Fact for you:
    The Beatles didn't take their name after the insects, They were originally called the Quarrymen until John Lennon wanted s better name, he wanted to have a catchy and musical name, So he cleverly put the word Beat into the title. He was partially inspired by the band The Crickets who, once again, was named not after the bug. Other names considered were Johnny and The Moondogs, The Silver Beatles and the Rainbows.

    To be honest, though Nutella is Italian, the name comes from the English word "Nut" + the Italian diminutive "ella" (little nut), so it could be pronounced Natella as well. Nutella is not an Italian word, and Italians pronounce Nut Newt, hence Newtella but that's only because Italians mispronounce the word Nut.

    Oh, and I have never in my life heard anyone say "Del-mont" or "Ah-dobe'. I'm fairly certain that anyone over the age of 25 is smart enough to know that these are "del-mont-ee" and "Ah-do-be". If young people are consistently saying it wrong, then they need to get their collective heads out of their phone texts and actually LEARN the language instead of just passing so-called 'tests' to prove they know something. (But, of course, they are told all their lives that tests are EVERYTHING they need to know. 2 lies in one.)
    One such example I see every day is young people writing "conscious" when they mean "conscience". Another is writing "passed" when they are saying that something is in the "past". There are many more commonly seen typos, but these are just two examples off the top of my head. I guess every generation has their own group of commonly mis-placed words, but today's generation seems to have a LOT of things they're getting wrong that they really should know better than to screw up. (And NONE of the young'ns seem to be able to figure out "there", "their", and "they're", as well as "your", "you're", and "yore".)
    That being said, public education is a freaking joke these days in English speaking countries, with instructors spending all their time concentrating on "teaching methods" rather than actually teaching - in addition to teaching groups of students HOW to pass a standardized government testing form, rather than actually teaching those students the subject at hand. This is what happens when you ask government idiots to improve education. All they know how to do is to make it more complicated by adding more rules and regulations, make any subject incredibly boring with "standardized teaching methods", and aim the students' intended learning toward a goal that has nothing to do with actual education.
    Welcome to the 21st century. May your favorite deity take mercy on you and your childrens' souls...
    (Also, I've never heard anyone say "tames" when referring to the Thames, or saying "La-FAY-et" when referring to Lafayette. Maybe somebody has, but I haven't heard them say those things this way.)
    (Also, Adidas is a made-up word. The owner of the company is named "Adolf 'Adi' Dassler". So he called the company "Adidas", using a combination of his nickname and his surname. Kind of like saying "shoes by Adi Das".)

      Aussie - Pro-NUN-ciation. It depends on whether you know how to pronounce the word, and it's just very commonly mispronounced. Not a regional thing at all.

      +Tardis Noises I've never heard anyone say "Pro-nun-ciation" so I guess its mixed. It has always been "Pro-noun-cee-a-tion"
