The American pronunciation of "Witchita" might spark another civil war here, because for me it's more like "Witch it taw". It think this depends on where you are located with respect to the "cot-caught" merger!
With the accent on the -ta ETA: someone else here said the accent is on the first syllable. Thinking on it, I believe we are both half-right - equal stress on the first and third, very little on the middle.

Look at Aiden trying to defend being wrong. If I heard someone say Nike but it rhymed with Mike, I would have no idea what that person was talking about.
Ironically, in this video about pronouncing American things incorrectly, she mispronounced the name of the American city, Witchita, Kansas. She called it 'Wih-cheetah'; it's 'Witch-ih-taw'.
It may appear to be ironic. But it is not ironic. It is actually expected that a native German speaker would make an English pronunciation mistake on a video about German speakers making pronunciation mistakes. It would be ironic if she were a native English speaker or she lived in Wichita. Also, it is not ironic that you misspelled Wichita. You made the mistake about irony. So it is expected that you didn't bother to check to see if you were spelling the name right.
I like how chill you guys are with the pronunciations and very accepting of accents. Many people who learned English as a second language stress themselves too much on getting the "right" pronunciations of words, I know I was.
As an American if I hear someone say Nike instead of the way we pronounce it I legit will have no idea what you are talking about. I didn’t even know that was a thing
We say shopping center here in the USA too it’s a group all in one building but you have to go outside of each store to go into another store but there all connected. Sometimes it’s called a strip mall which can be confusing. A mall has usually 1 building but can have more than one building but there are several stores in each building and you can go from one store to another without going outside and there are there’s a large indoor common area but most stores will also have a outside entrance if you want to go into that store without going inside the mall. Now that I’ve confused everyone let’s talk about false assumption that we Americans call Supermarket a grocery store we don’t both have fresh produce meat and seafood but a grocery store is smaller and is more local than Supermarket which are much bigger and are large multi state
As a car guy, for the Ford Mustang naming. The Torino did come back a few years later, and the Cougar through the Mercury brand. Ironically, the Mercury Cougar was basically a restyled Mustang in the first few years.
I worked at Ralph Lauren for 15 years and a lot of Americans pronounce it wrong. They do the French sounding way. I've even heard it pronounced wrong on TV and the movies as well. It used to drive me nuts.
The Britts insisting that it's called NIK, instead of NIKE, heavy pronouncing on the E is hilarious. I guarantee that if you pronounced it NIK in the USA, no one would know what your talking about.
Not a single person on this side of the ocean..not even one pronounces it as Nike to rhyme with Bike. If you said it that way over here, people would have zero clue what you were referring to. Especially with it being names after a mythical figure with the actual name of how it's supposed to be said.
MANY ppl changed their name once they came to America to fit in better. Even my friend from a nearby island here changed her entire name to an English/ American name and she's only 60 now.. so ppl are still doing it at times.
The Nile is long yes but only like 2 miles wide and like 20 to 26ft deep, the narrowest part of the Amazon is still wider and deeper than the Nile’s biggest part the Amazon is up to 30 miles wide and 65 to 300ft deep.
She pronounced Witchita wrong, which is funny considering the point of this whole video. I had no idea the British pronounced Nike with one syllable. I never heard of that nor have I ever heard any American pronounce it that way. The American nickname for McDonalds is Mickey Dees.
THe Amazon River dwarfs the Nile. It has 75 times the water that the Nile has, and twice the area. The Nile has a tiny bit more length, but is a pencil when it comes to girth.
8:52 McDoof = McDumb ... ;-) - Heinz, Levi or Hertz are actually German names, so Germans don't mispronounce them. The Germans do everything else just like the English or Americans: they pronounce it the way it sounds best in their language. - It's funny that the Germans also think that Häagen-Dazs is supposed to be Danish, although only the Swedes have an umlaut ä in the alphabet like the Germans. The Danes have an æ instead for the same sound or umlaut ä.- - Jaguar Land Rover belongs to the Indian Tata Group (The Indians increasingly want to use the Indian name for India: Bharat) - That's right, the Nile is the longest river, followed by the Amazon. But Americans are very bad at geography... so the store is called Amazon ;-)
I watched a documentary about ice cream, and the guy they interviewed from Haagen-Dasz literally said they wanted the name to sound foreign because they knew they could charge more, and no one would think twice about it 😂😂😂
I'm really glad that even though a lot of these American companies are named after people with German names like Heinz, she doesnt insist on pronouncing it the German way.
The one that always gets me is La Croix sparkling water which is not pronounced “Lah craw” but “Lah croy”. The words are French but since the brand is American there’s nothing they can do about it 😂
She mispronounced "Wichita" while explaining the origins of Pizza Hut. To hear is pronounced correctly, listen to the song "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell. The name "Palmolive" comes from one of the company's first products, which was a soap made with both palm and olive oils.
The Amazon River is the largest river by volume of water that it flows. The Nile River is the longest river in the world but flows less water than the Amazon.
@@chris-hu7tm Nike comes from Greek mythology. It is pronounced with 2 syllables. It's not an American thing, the correct pronunciation is Nik-ey, no matter what country you live in.
@@diggity1039 A lot of how Americans pronounce things is how the British used to pronounce them as well. After the Revolutionary War, Britain had much less influence on the US and when people in Britain started to pronounce things differently to sound more posh, it never caught on in the US. There are a few remote places in the US where people sound like they people who first came over from England centuries ago and it sounds nothing like how most British people speak now. It’s really fascinating to learn about.
She butchered the name of Pizza Hut’s birthplace and my birthplace as well. Wichita is pronounced Wi-chuh-taa. In addition to her story about the sign for Pizza Hut, the original building was very tiny and resembled a hut.
America is huge and the pronounciations of products and brands can widely differ, depending on the state. A person from Massachusettes will give a lot of 'british' styled pronunciations to certain words, than a person from Georgia. Or a person from Louisiana may say things differently, than someone from California. Then, there is mountain speak, with people often saying names of products differently depending on if the individual is from the Rockies or Appalachians. 50 states means at least 50 ways of saying things, although there are differences in how we speak, within a state, as well.
The fact that Nike continues to be a huge supporter of the University of Oregon makes so much more sense now that I know that the creator of the brand was an alumni.
Amazon is the biggest though, not the Nile. The Nile is long but not nearly as big overall. It carries a lot less volume of water. It drains far less area. Claiming the nile is bigger than the Amazon is like saying a python is bigger than an elephant because you mistook length for size.
10:48 Minor difference, but Americans pronounce Z differently than S or TS. The Z is deeper in the throat and much buzzier. Our tongues can even vibrate some to the Z sound, especially in a word like "buzz." This is completely different from a word like "pizza" where that sound is much shorter and less pronounced.
Wanna be heartbroken? They don't even build Pizza Huts with the red roofs anymore! But I don't know how iconic that is to non-Americans. That makes me wonder what staples of Americana visiting Brits would be disappointed to learn we didn't have anymore.
but Heinz was found by Germans in the US - which is why it sounds so familiar (apart from that German and English are both West Germanic languages and also over other ways many things sound the same or similar)
I think she nailed all the words she mentioned. The one name that was wrong was just a mention in Wichita. Other than that, she did great. Obviously, she's been in America for a long time, and any accent she may have had is mostly gone.
When I was in Guatemala at someone's house a commercial came on the television for Colgate Jr. The announcer pronounced it Cohl-gah-tay Joon-yur. In the Guatemalan dialect of Spanish, if you really take that as a Spanish phrase, you could roughly translate it as "hang yourself, junior." as far as I could tell, although I hadn't fully mastered their vos form so I could be wrong. That commercial made me laugh.
In the 1990s Jaguar cars were stylish and had sexy rounded lines then Buick started making cars with a similar rounded line, and even the grill looks similar, I called them the poor man’s Jaguar.

But it's not correct to pronounce it as like "bike"--the creators wanted it not to sound like "bike"--so they called it Nikey. Nike as "bike" is no different than US pronouncing Leicester as Lye-sester--it's just wrong.
