      As far I know only in English Mercedes is pronounced like ''Mercy-deez'' (nuts).

    • @Henry.25
      @Henry.25 10 місяців тому +2

      @@Savadais It's not just English, as Mercedes is a noun, the pronunciation doesn't change that much, even when the language is completely different, we still can more or less understand.
      For example, in Brazilian portuguese it is spoken together and a little faster and with a strong “r” _meRcedes_
      In French it is almost the same, but you put more emphasis on the dry “r” and a little space before “des” _meRce-dees_
      In German is _med-cedes_
      On the other hand, in Chinese is _Mei sei deh su_
      and in Korean is _mere se de se_

    S600 is awesome. I hit 183 mph in a v12 1994 s600 I borrowed from my dad. Never told him that. But it felt like the fastest boat on the road. Steering wheel was more like lightly suggesting a direction.
