As a teacher, I always tell my students to pronounce the words correctly. I also commit pronunciation error. However, if they still got it wrong, I just accept it since we are not English/British speakers as long as their spelling is correct and you mean the same thing.
You also make some mistakes while writing in english, so, how could you blame them? It should be: "Tell to my student to.." "I also made some pronounciation mistakes" or "I also mispronounce some words" "If they still get it wrong, I'll just accept it" (first conditional) "And they mean the same thing" (... of what??)
As I understand it, the pronunciation of a huge number of English words just happened historically. And the Americans just didn't bother with correcting the spelling according to the pronunciation.
@@arolemaprarath6615 So what? America is over 200 years old, and there has been enough time for language reform to bring spelling in line with pronunciation. In Russia, for example, there have been several such reforms and therefore they do not have such problems.
Nike was the goddess of victory. She served Zeus in the war against the Titans and afterward gave the victors of battles wreaths of laurel. She was closely connected to Zeus and Athena
Ok, if British people keep arguing that it is ‘Naik’ because of how ‘bike’ is pronounced, then they need to change the way EVERY WORD in English that is pronounced differently to the same way. Like those words with ‘Ough’.

so both are wrong since you just explained in greek it is pronounced as "nik-ke"? And since the company itself clarified it as "naik", does that mean it is their version of it's pronunciation but not the official english pronunciation of the Greek god nike?
British pronounciation is more consistent on the sounding of letter...otherwise, the words such as like, hike, bike,spike be pronounced with a "y"; it is not because the promotor wants us to pronounce it, that we have to yield by it, because if it so, then who could contest me if i promote a brand and pronounce it inconsistent to the rule of sounding an alphabet.
If your American it’s pronounced Ni-Kee but British people call it Nike you would think it would be Nike because we say Bike not Bi-kee but no it’s just not pronounced like that
In greek, Νίκη is actually pronounced as “nickie”..
I just want to say that
Xaxaxa
That is the modern greek pronounciation, in acient greek, "η" is pronounced like an "e" or a german "ä"
@@huiuiui4542 η is a long e, never forget that or your ancient greek teacher will smack you
It's actually pronounced more like ‘NEE-kee’.

Correct!
English came from the UK

谢谢你的讲解。听你说话非常的舒服,而且涨知识。
Honestly you are so amazing in explaining the differences of words its usage, its meaning and pronunciation.. and you make my wold so easy.. thanks ❤️
This was very informative. Well done. Thank you!!!
nike is an american brand so american pronounce is the right one
Exactly. Plus the company founder confirmed the pronunciation himself
The English are just stubborn bastards
With that logic England created English so it wrong
Thank you very much dear teacher 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh wow! Here in Puerto Rico (an USA territory) we say it as the British! Thank you for clarifying! 🇵🇷

@@arolemaprarath6615 ok 👌🏼
That because peurto Rico might as well be independent. Should never have colonised it
The British pronunciation actually sounds much better than the American.

Correctly explained. Good philology skills bro!
So great many teachers just sighed with relief 😅
It is amazing that you know know so many things. Even though I speak Greek, I never thought that nike comes from the Νίκη. 😅
En México la mayoría lo pronunciamos como "naik" ☺️ .
Y en Puerto Rico
Y en Ecuador 🇪🇨
Si asi es in Greece too!!
In France too
Philippines too, most people says "naik"
Woww bro you have so great knowledge of English. Great bro keep going... I love your all the knowledge about english...
Your hair looks marvelous.
Yes USA pronounce it correctly since my Maths teacher worked in Nike and they told him to say it the USA 🇺🇸 way
Same with Adidas.
It's Adee-dass not A-dey-das.
the way you say nike frightens me
The American way is correct but people have gotten used to saying it that way in the UK. That's why Americans pronounce Adidas incorrectly.
I am fascinated with this video
Why?
@@montamiddleton9318 because I love the history
Thanks to this I now know how to pronounce Persephone

You are so sweet teacher 💞🥰

Great !!! I' ve always explained that to my friends 👍🏼😁
And, it is because of that that word is a proper noun not a general term.
Wooow you really have my respect!!’ 👍🏼👍🏼
Brazilians are right on this then!!!!
Thank u
The greek pronounciation is "niki", like the sound of the words "biggy", "kitty" , "fiji".
Thank you so much teacher
I likyi this video

THX so much! 😊
0:03 plenty of people in the uk pronounce nike as "nikey" instead of "nyke"!

You are handsome smart man 😮😮😮
You could’ve lead with the last part lol
Love you

Thank for clearing that out. I also want to know the correct pronunciation of Adidas.
It's Adi-das or Uh-dee-das. The first A is emphasized.
As a duchie, can confirm we also say it as naik
In brazil we say naik, like the brits.
Astugfirallah
Excelente! !

In Europe we pronounce Naik without the e at the end (the british way). Personally I like this pronunciation better
I’m assuming your pronunciation of “Aphrodite” rhymes with “Kite”, by that logic.
If we pronounce it using our language, it sounds like the original Greek version.
Er..I'm British and have always pronounced it as Naiki
Gracias toño
Me queda claro
I did not know that "Nike" is pronounced "naiki" in American
British: *hold my tea*
Irene 🎀
I prefer Adi-das over Nee-Kee😂
Well, if you prefer German cars over American, then you are a man of culture 😂
The symbol of this brand, actually, represents the wings of the statue (very very stylized)
Alright teacher 👍💞💖🙏
in french we say it « naik » like in british
Another French person said they pronounce it the other way
@@FrostyFaz i dont know they said it was pronouced like but i promise you everyone in france pronouce it like i said
I'm from Britain and we say Nike with an e at the end
I said it as "Nì ke", it's just the way I say many things my unique way. I never thought it's the actual origin where the name Nike comes from!
Well, that settles it! 🙌
Also in México we Say /naik/😁😁😁
How do the sweatshop children pronounce it?
Just curious if you dont mind. What is your gender identity?
Najk
funny how when i said the right one ppl be tellin im wrong
RAHHHHH 🦅🇺🇸
When you are a greek and didn't know that
I'm kazakh, but i speak russian, and in russian it pronounces as "найк" [naik]
so both are wrong since you just explained in greek it is pronounced as "nik-ke"?
And since the company itself clarified it as "naik", does that mean it is their version of it's pronunciation but not the official english pronunciation of the Greek god nike?
In Germany it's called both ways.
There is a Bike, pronounced with the "e". It is the brand name of athletic supporters.
Phillip nikie
Lacoste pls 🥰
Many Europeans say naik

Greek anglicized words... Aphrodite and Persephone don’t rhyme with kite and phone right? They always end in an “-ey” sound and same applies for Nike.
And so goes for your examples, they are wrong. Aphrodite-Persephone etc. are pronounced “Aphrodity-Persephony” correctly in Greek.
If your American it’s pronounced Ni-Kee but British people call it Nike you would think it would be Nike because we say Bike not Bi-kee but no it’s just not pronounced like that
Naiki👍🏼
In Spanish we call it like in United Kingdom xD
