      @King Croft but nike is a correct way for spelling the greek goddess of the victory in english , and i think the most common way(atleast in my research). Maybe I'm just used to the "nike" spelling bc I think its pretty, but"niki" looks like it should be pronounced "nicky". If it was truly spelled phonetically it should be like "naikey" or something, but anyways don't blame americans blame confusing translations!

      Nouns (even for objects) are either masculine or feminine in French, and nouns that end with "*ier" (poirier, couturier, soulier, etc.) are all masculine. That's why "Perrier" just doesn't sound right for something, and even more someone, who is a female. Just thought I should explain ^_^

    As a Swede, Ima tell ya, the French pronounce IKEA pretty accurately
    Edit: found this a year later lmao apparently a lot of y'all were interested in the Swedish pronunciation, here's a video, although, he has a certain Swedish dialect so I'd pronounce it slightly differently but close enough :) ua-cam.com/video/JBhkD4Lb4yE/v-deo.html
    However, IKEA is an acronym that stands for the founders name (IK) and where he grew up (EA) so it's not a real word and therefore there's no real right way to say it I suppose but that's the way we say it and the way Ingvar Kamprad said it

      Biba Oreo I feel like it's a bit different than how the French say it. In Scandinavia it's pronounced "eekea" where the e after the k is pronounced like the e in echo elephant etc rather than the e in in Nike or or Leeds.
      Whereas it seems like the French pronounce it like "eekea" with the Nike/Leeds etc e sound after the k.
      I hope that makes sense.

    The french people pronounced ikea correctly tho. The pronounciation has nothing to do with "the big i" lmao. "Ee keh ah" is how you pronounce it

    • @msmacavideos
      @msmacavideos 5 років тому +12

      Well where the guy that said the "big I" comment was mistaken is that he only applied the logic of the letter prononciation in English, without thinking maybe that's different in another language, so it sounded a bit ignorant in my opinion. However in lots of european languages like French, Spanish, German etc and I guess Swedish too judging by how they pronounce it just the same, "i" letter sounds like "ee" in English like you said so that's why it's natural for those who speak those languages to pronounce certain brands the way they do haha

    When i was in Germany with the military for a bit i made some friends and we use to have a drinking game like this. they would have us (soldiers) pronounce words in German and we would do the same to them with English and everyone that laughed had to drink. So many laughs, so many drinks!
    Hope those people are all doing well to this day.

      AME C I am not sure which part of France you are from but for me as a southerner, it is a funny way to pronounce these words. He knew he could not pronounce the Strauss well and kinda exaggerated it. We'd pronounce it like he did if we are trying to make it funny or mimic an older person saying it. This is why I said he trolled her.

      Nissa aaab I thought you meant the guy with a dark blue pullover. Yeah that guy with the checkered (vichy? It looks stripped on my phone ^^') shirt was trolling. For the Mc Donald its a cliché accent from the south he is actually making like in the joke were one dude from the south name his restaurant Mickey Mes Couilles because of Ma Queue Donald. As for Levis Strauss I think he is making a German accent. But it kinda sounds like an accent from Alsace if you ask me...
