I amit, I had a sight tremble as well - and I'm Finnish as well :) Though the English alphabet are a bit tougher than most European languages, that still sound close to Latin. Finnish reading of the alphabet doesn't differ much from the French or ... Italian? (Mucci)
I was glad of that as well :) Though for him the challenge was the wrong pronunciation of the letters English uses :) (Note: English has changed the pronunciation of the Latin letters the most - especially the vowels)
Considering it's spelled EXACTLY how it's pronounced, it's embarrassing that anyone would get it wrong. I shouldn't be surprised, my last name is 4 letters and people can't even get that right....
I think the main reason why so many people got it wrong is how they say it out loud. Instead of saying KOT-KA-NIEMI they instead say KOT-KI-NIEMI and don't enunciate the "A". I noticed this whenever certain players would pronounce his name and pronounced it this way
Sorry, but how's possible that Tatar doesn't know how is Kotkaniemi spelled :D ??? I understand that it can be difficult for americans, but Slovak language has same pronunciation as Finnish language so it should be easy for him.
i started sweating when he began to spell his own name
In Finnish language we pronounce letters different from English. It is a lot harder than most people think. You can hear that at 1:19.

RoyalMela yeah, but Kotkaniemi is basically fluent in English by now
If I was Kotkaniemi I would just blow it on purpose 😂
It wasn’t him it was armia
Considering The fact that Armia is from Pori, he does a very good job
That'd be funny but so is Kotkaniemi
they both are so the common language is there
mann XDDD its finland inside joke, people from pori are dumb as f so everyone whos not from finland didnt really get it 😂😂😂😂
SAVAGE!
Ŧíŋßãñđ _ im from finland so i get it better than u think. Probably why u didn’t get it and are the dumb one
The correct answer is MINT.
Dille Koppanyi pretty
Well at least Kotkaniemi can spell his own name XD
I was glad of that as well :) Though for him the challenge was the wrong pronunciation of the letters English uses :)

@@timomastosalo yeah as a non-native English speaker i understand how hard spelling can be, i personally hate it😂
@@seiryu_u Yeah, there should be just one name for each letter, and easy enough all languages could say them. But that's a challenge :)
Also Armia did
Ehhh Max Domi knows. That grin he had priceless
Has practiced with Albanian names?
@@timomastosalo haha! Probably!
His name means: kotka = eagle, niemi= peninsula/point 😙
ssc00p woah that’s so cool😊
That's pretty badass.
Eaglepeninsula
Actually it's
Kotka = Eagle
Niemi = Ness
It actually translates to “Mint”
I started to panic when he started to spell his own name.
It’s amazing that the Habs went and drafted Kotkaniemi when last year they had a player that was so blatantly Antti-Niemi
It's easy though if you just sound it out. Kot-ka-ni-emi. At least Domi and Armia got it right
Good. Kot-ka-nie-mi is finnish way
Armia is finnish so obviously he can spell it lmao
@@MrSharkFIN Who knows, maybe it was challenging for him :)
Yeah, and hinting the stress: KOT-ka-Nie-mi
ya its hard if you havent looked at the name and they just said with brittish so it makes it sound bit weird
Jesperi spelled kotkaniemi very well
Good joob mate
My favorite player is Jarpspari Koktaniam
Henry Bechtel pretty sure it’s spelled jasperi kotkaniemi 😂
Julia lol even you spelled it wrong it's jesperi and wooosh
I.J. Squirtle yes just noticed that lol
I.J. Squirtle aaaand actually there’s people who are spelled with a and not with e
@@Julia-tm7sm r/whooosh
00:05 jump cut to max domis dome is ginormous
Lmao loved this!
Reminds me of back in 2009 when the Habs uploaded 'Can The Habs Spell Cammalleri?' (Mike Cammalleri)
we’re gunna miss you KK
Spoiler alert, 5 months later, yeah we definitely miss him... and weber and danault and price and now allen... 😓🙃 TAKE ME BACK TO LAST SEASON lol
im glad KK got his name correctly ! :P
I was waiting for a "what's the origin of the word?" or a "can you use it in a sentence?" lol
Pretty sure if any Habs player spelled it M-I-N-T, they would've got it correct.
This video shows how good these people were at spelling in school
I have a feeling the boys call him Kok behind doors lol
Hey kok send me the pock
Puck
Packeryammy
He almost misspelled his own name at the end. Either way its pretty mint!
Imagine Kotkaniemi spelled it wrong 😂
Jets Fan 7406 he did
@@longestpremier4277 wtf he sayd it right
Why would he? You wouldn't mess up spelling your own name, now would you?
@@tob564 Spelling is different in english than finnish tho, so he could have misspelled it out loud.
Honestly, I wouldn't do any better if I didn't see his name enough
I suddenly remembered the Cammalleri one and Galchenyuk trying to spell his name backwards.
I love the song you used in the intro! Magnum P.I
The last guy did a real good job
this is the content i am here for
Last guy did a good job!
I'm lucky enough to to play nhl games enough so I'd ace this xD
la consentration de danault😂😂
Cauffield flexing at the end
??? Caufield isn’t even in the video it’s a year old
Domi has such a big head wow
He's like a bobblehead.
He might be penalized for heading someday.
Loving the magnum p.i. theme song.
Gally, my man, you just asked him! Come on
Danault is gold 😂
Even though I'm a kings fan I get this guy every time I do a nhl 20 franchise. Still wouldve misspelled it
Of course Domi has it right plz don’t leave Max hope they sign u for 8yrs
0:42 I was worried for a moment that he would say KKK
Michael Helin, he’s not THAT country
@@wastefellow2569 THAT country has hockey fans as well stop gatekeeping it bugs me you want the sport to expand but only if you win everytime

Its like trying to remember your wifi password
No hacker could ever hack the password K.......i.
Yes , it's Kotka and the name of an ex Canadians goalie that we got rid of , sorry Mr Niemi , no pun intended.
Considering it's spelled EXACTLY how it's pronounced, it's embarrassing that anyone would get it wrong.
I shouldn't be surprised, my last name is 4 letters and people can't even get that right....
M-a-k-e-r that's 5
I know sarcasm
Its finnish.
The spelled-exactly-as-it's-pronounced magic of Finnish really only works for Finns themselves which we don't always realise, hehe.
@@Losrandir Basically works in German as well. English is just a totally fucked up language regarding pronunciation.
I can’t even say his name ffs
JESperi (Yes...y) KOTka ('CAUGHT-cah')...Niemi ('Near-me' - with mute r).
'Eagle Cape, Eagle Point'.
There's a pronunciation guide on my channel if you want to check how Kotkaniemi is pronounced.
Love these videos
Armia spelled the letters in Finnish lol, that could be confusing.
The reason it took Jesperi so long to spell it himself is because he had to think how to spell the letters in English
And I mean Danault did it in French
@@aaaaa359
It didnt take long for him though, it was pretty quick.
@@are3287 Longer than Armia though.
@@aaaaa359 Yeah - the translation delay.
Merci Armia 👍
this is sad. its not that hard of a name. its spelt the exact same as is pronounced
Nate Thompson though 😂
These vids are super funny
Carey Price: KOKKK
Maxi Domi out here looking like Benjamin Franklin
I think the main reason why so many people got it wrong is how they say it out loud. Instead of saying KOT-KA-NIEMI they instead say KOT-KI-NIEMI and don't enunciate the "A". I noticed this whenever certain players would pronounce his name and pronounced it this way
Yes-pe-ry Cot-ca(h)-nea(r)-me (h and r are silent) translates to Jasper Eagle Cape
Eagle Peninsula would be more correct
Ex-Jet & a Winnipeg born player were the first 2 to get it
LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF! XD
Goodbye forever KK
Even Jesperi had to think about it slightly.
He had to think how to spell letters in English.
Carey's one😂😂 (0:40)
Everyone gangsta until they engrave kotkaniemi’s name wrong in the stanley cup
No wayyyy KK got it ?!?!?!
Who is this guy 1:20? He pronounces the letters the Finnish way. Is he from Finland?
Joel armia, he's from finland
@@wilperijalonen6051 thanks, I thought he sounded so Finnish. 🙂
Hell, he even almost got it wrong lol
Did Armia do a Finnish letter spelling?
Aric Cua yes
That’s pretty mint
can someone elighten me why did everyone think there was i instead of a after second k?
Aller go les Canadiens de Montréal
Now it's can the Habs pay Kotkaniemi
It is really funny to watch becouse im from finland and kotkaniemi is from finlad too
Im from Finland and lm dying😂
Nonni oliha tääl joku suomalaine🔥 Mut sama😂🇫🇮
Well Done Carey😂
armia is finnish, so of course, he can spell it
qui est la durant le play off run ? 2021
Sorry, but how's possible that Tatar doesn't know how is Kotkaniemi spelled :D ??? I understand that it can be difficult for americans, but Slovak language has same pronunciation as Finnish language so it should be easy for him.
All wrong

dominique ducharme seems to spell it h-e-a-l-t-h-y--s-c-r-a-t-c-h
Imagine they would have to spell Niittymäki or Hämäläinen.😅
Spell, *RED*
Its sad how difficult it is for north americans
Pourtant c’est loin detre compliquer a épeler sa sécrit comme sa se prononce kotka et tu rajoute niemi = kotkaniemi
...Which is why they call him "KK." Geez, they're hockey players - I'm sure a significant number would be unable to spell "puck."
armia wa wrong he said k o t k a n i e m (e) instead of (i)
How is that possible?
Who’s here after the Canadians lost the Stanley Cup
I hope he can spell his own name
go habs go
HYVÄ LEHKONEE!
