@15:28 Aidan is correct here. Umlauts can be represented in English by putting an e after the vowel. So Jäger can also be written as Jaeger
Das könnte man im Deutschen, ebenfalls mit ae schreiben und es wäre nicht inkorrekt...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 es ist immer inkorrekt und wird nur im internationalen kontext verwendet, weil dort keine umlaute verwendet werden.
@@mikkyo3509 Wenn ich für jedes mal, wenn ich diese Schreibweise in einem deutschen Buch gelesen habe einen Euro bekommen hätte, dann wäre das ein hübsches Sümmchen...
the other munich football club which is older "1860 münchen" already plays in light blue+white thats why
Very good point!
Bayern München is the reason why I stopped caring about football ... because they always bought the good players of other clubs (who werent as successful and thus had financial problems) to keep them down and win yet again.
It sounds like we all agree on how to pronounce Audi. I’ve never heard an American say it any different than you or she did.
Americans pronounce this correctly. It’s based on a Latin word and as English is rooted and influenced heavily by Latin, we tend to get this one right.
lol I say “Ah-Dee”. But I’m from the south 😂
@hatleyhoward7193 in 30 years here in the US i have not heard anyone say Audi correctly. aaawwwwhddeee is what i hear most. not that i care really. but Porch does bother me. I am with Linus Thorvalds and the pronunciation of Linux. He says to pronounce it whichever way you want, so long as you use it. However, he insists that people respect his parents decision to call him Leenus, not lienus. if you want to ride around in a porch that is your business, but Ferdinand's last name has an E at the end.
The two dots over a letter aren’t an accent. It’s called an umlaut and it just signifies an alternate pronunciation of the vowel. It only appears over a vowel.
and it can make it a different word, e.g. "schon" vs. "schön" ("yet" vs. "beautiful/pretty").
@@TheEuronaut "futter" vs "füttern" (food vs feed someone)
@@maxwilli3718 there're many examples. But often, the word without the umlaut isn't existing at all. For example "fünf" (five) and "funf" (n/a).
@@TheEuronaut Natürlich, da die Umlaute eigene vollwertige Buchstaben sind. Dadurch bilden sie auch eigene Wörter mit eigenen Bedeutungen. Oft bilden sie auch die Pluralformen wie "Dach-Dächer", "Fluss-Flüsse" oder "Fuß-Füße"
Google:
Of course, because the umlauts are independent, full-fledged letters. This means that they also form their own words with their own meaning. They often also form the plural forms like “roof-roofs”, “foot-feet”, “river-rivers” or “foot-feet”.
@@maxwilli3718 I'm German, I know my language. But I tried to explain it to non-german speakers. 😏
Who said Porschee?
Janis Joplin
"Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsche[e]s, I must make amends"
it’s only so it rhymes lol
@@Cassxowary
What is the rhyme on Porschee?
@@helloweener2007 Portia...lol I'm sure, you don't get this joke...
No American says POR-shee. I don’t know where she’s getting that from. I will admit I say PORSH, PORSH-uh is common in the US too but I feel pretentious when I say it that way.
Just because you haven’t heard it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen
There are 335 million Americans. There's bound to be some who do.
you’re speaking for all of the landmass now? but glad you know america isn’t a country
@@thevannmann822 million actually but yah
@@thevannmannand that’s not counting those who left
"st" and "sp" are usually spoken as "scht" (sht) and "schp" (shp) respectively. But there are dialects in northern Germany, where "st" and "sp" is spoken "as-is".
You forgot the important fact that this is only true when these are the first letters in the word like in Stier, Storch, Stall, Stein ... not when it's in the middle or end of the word like in Ast, fasten, belasten. In Birkenstock it's still pronounced as sh because it's a combined word so actually it's the beginning of the word "Stock" again. For verbs normally the word's root is essential. So like in besteigen, where the word comes from steigen and again it's pronounced as sh because of it's position at the beginning.
@@pok81 yes, you're right. I forgot to mention that. 😇
@@pok81 Ja, aber nein... Geh mal nach deutsch- Südwest. Die BW- people, kennen überhaupt kein "st". Bei denen ist es immer ein "sch"...
Imagine I would say,I got a job offer from "british",instead of british airways😂
Welll... You would say "BA", right?
Run-DMC taught us Adidas ///
You are saying it with an accent, not she is saying it with an accent. A German pronouncing a German word is accent free.
Well, it depends on the region. Linguists have proven that neutral German is a myth.
Most english speakers native lazy to understand German language grammar pronunatce is differend . Yes English speak in 17,3 % countries but other 82,7 % are diferend grammar.
1:48 We in Germany like to abbreviate long words. Volkswagen is no exception. So we say VW. (W is pronounced differently in English.) The English pronounced word Audi sounds like oldi.
Yeah the english language stucked with the latin letter spelling where "U" was written as "V" and therefore the Letter "VV" aka "W" is a Double V spelled "double U". Germany (most parts) where never occupied by the romans but the tribes take over some words and the letters and used them different in some cases (and then there was the sound shift(s) where word soundings (mostly some letters in the Words) changed and the writing was adopted). Thats why Word (english soft D) and Wort (german hard T) are written different or Boot and Boat (both means the same - a "ship") where the spelling is the same but because Germans spell oo like the english oa we write it different. Or german Pf / f -> engl. P (in many cases) so replace at the german Pfeffer the ff with two p and also the PF with a P and you got Pepper.
Aidan "How would know that's German"(Schwarzkopf). That was my sarcastic voice. LMAO
He didnt mean the term but the origin, location and ownership of the brand
No American has ever said "Porshee"
depends where in america, big landmass
@@Cassxowary Have you ever heard an American say Porshee?
@@Cassxowaryyes i have
I wore Adidas or Adidas all through high school at practice for cross country running or basketball. Adidas shoes also 1974-78
I think it depends on which part of the USA you are from. The way she pronounced “Lufthansa” in German is how I pronounce it not her English version. Must be a Cincinnati thing. There are so many dialects in the USA, so there may be many different pronunciations!
Commodore computers had a model called VIC-20 - everywhere except Germany. In Germany it was called VC-20 to imply people's computer. VIC was too close to a German phrase meaning "f*ck".
Munich lions have blue, Bayern München was the workers Club,therefore red,you might have similiar things with ManU and Mancity.
The reason for the color is probably, that there was already another football club in Munich (1860 München) which used blue and white.
Bayern München was never and never will be the workers club.
TSV 1860 München, also known as "Lions" was founded as a sports club in 1848, but was forbidden after one year for being anti-monarchy (Bavaria was a kingdom). They started again in 1860, hence their name. FC Bayern München was founded in 1900, their colours (and logo) are red and blue, but since the older club 1860 München was and is using the Bavarian blue for their jerseys, FC Bayern had to opt for red.
Fun fact: The outside of the new Munich Football stadium Allianz Arena will be illuminated all in blue when 1860 München plays a home game and all in red when BayernMünchen plays. Since the stadium is right next to the motorway you always know which team is playing inside when passing it.
Awesome that you react to Felicia she is really great girl she have many interesting videos about Germany. I also love watching your videos!! Greetings from Munich
Every American I know me included pronounce Audi like the Germans. It's pronounced like that in the commercials for the car. Might be a Midwest thing where she is living.
ALL-DEEZ. Only way to say it.
Ä=ae,ü=ue ❤lazyness,I guess.the removable spikes are a main reason for the first WC in 1954,the miracle of Bern.great movie of the same name worth a watch.
I never knew Aldi was German until L3WG reacted to this video yesterday, Aldi is quite a large chain in the US, more than just some places.
Many Americans react somewhat shocked to realize trader joe's is owned by aldi north
Yep! Meanwhile...
@@ProfTydrim most Americans don't even go to Trader Joe's so probably don't care either. After all we prefer getting value for our money not overpriced stuff. Especially when most of the population is trying to not spend a lot.
As Americans, we almost always put the accent on the penultimate syllable. That's why we say AdIdas and not AdidAs, even though it may be wrong. That's just the way we pronounce things. Other languages do the same, Spanish for instance.
yah you know what else is wrong? believing america is one country not a whole landmass named after a white invader… or the centre of everything and entitled to everyone&everything and nothing is y’all’s fault…
most of america speaks spanish
We tend to side with the Latin pronunciation where is the UK does the French. Same with spelling.
Also doesn’t help those German brands advertise to us using those pronunciations, so we just listened to them.
@@LancerX916 Well... That's not that much true...
7:10 The VW Beetle doesnt just "look like a Porsche" ... both are als REAR ENGINE drive. So basically just the body of the car and the engine used are different.
Yes, the shoe story on the boat is very believeable.
Puma and Adidas had real fights and they divided Herzogenaurach where they both are located.
There is a documentation about the rivalry and people told that there were seperate pubs and you could not go as a Puma or Adidas worker into a pub where workers from the other company went. You would have beaten up. Two football clubs which had a big hostility.
Of course you can't walk with Adidas shoes on a Puma boat.
No one in the U.S. says porch-ee. No one. And we don’t pronounce things using the German pronunciation because we speak English.
Nobody is right or wrong, she was just pointing how it is pronounced in German, since they are German brands. Similar to , any American brand, that is produced differently in foreign language due to accent or a different alphabets.
Why are you so mad? 😂😂😂
talking about the land of ignorants
Very good for brits!!
18:55 „Schwarz-Kopf, how would you know that’s German?“ Easy, Schwarz is the German word for black and Kopf is the German word for head and the symbol is literally a black head 😉
Ok, it’s easy for people knowing German and English 😇
Yeah in the US we would think of that as some streetwalker names😂 Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus.
More Stripper names
In German, the "e" at the end of a word is ALWAYS pronounced. In English, it isn't. Simple rule. VW means "Peoples' Car", but until after the end of WWII, none were sold to the public; the ALL went to the German military and were extensively used in the war. The most common mispronunciation of a German brand by English speakers, for my money, is "Braun" being pronounced "Brawn" It is actually pronouced "Brown". It IS the same word in both languages.
If you say it in English, that's just as ok! I always think it's nonsense that you pronounce it in German... the companies are also in the USA and England, so pronounce it however you want!
people have to realize where this different of pronuncatioin of the letter 'W' comes from. keep in mind that German and English are both West Germanic languages (with also some Latin/Greek influence, English also a bit French but hats itself a Germanic-Vulgar Latin languge with a shot of Celtic (which btw, also comes from the region of Southern Germany/Austria (Hallstatt)). THAT the English pronounce 'W' as doubleU and not as 'W' as the Germans is actually inconsistent to English itself, because most letters are similar spelled as the letter sounds. You say also WAVE and NOT 'DoubleU-ave' or 'Western' and NOT 'DoubleU-estern'. The Germans use 'W' like it is spoken in words. The English could do that as well. The reason why they turned to 'doubleU' goes back to the introduction of the Germanic 'W' to the Classic Latin Alphabet. This had only 23 chars and not 26! The "W", "J" and "U" was later added! In classical Latin the 'V' was in most cases used as the totay 'U' which means they wrote on their temples for instance for 'Augustus' => 'AVGVSTVS'! This is what you read in old texts and on architecture of that time (and later - when ppl used classic latin again). So, the 'V' was mostly spoken as an 'U' (and only sometimes like a 'F'/V). When the 'W' was intrutroduced then it was just a VV
She's german and telling you how to say it correctly... why would you say "mercedes, otherwise how would you pronounce it?!" Lol, she's just telling you the right way 😂
Borussia Mönchengladbach has nothing to do with München (Munich). Totally different part of the country!
blue and white are the colours of "1860 München" football club
so "Bayern München" couldn't choose the same colour
Saying it with accents is always fine but PORSCH is just super wrong and cringe because its not a pronouncing error but just English people.curting ending E. As much as Germans have to learn to pronounce "the" the minimum of "always pronounce the "e" in the end of an word" could be done as minimum effort saying a German word. It's super easy just if u see a letter then also pronounce it xD
August Horch was born in Winningen. So he's my neighbour. Greetings from Koblenz
Bayern München dont play in blue/white because thats the colors of the other football club in munich, TSV 1860 munich which are the older one with more history. In the early days of the german league they were actually better than Bayern munich and the bigger team. So its like manchester united and manchester city with the difference that manchester city was saved from going down because of this oil sheikh. 1860 munich never had a such a luck. Bayern munich have the blue white colors in their logo but those are in the end just the colors of the state bavaria i guess, there are alot of football clubs in bavaria, all of them can not play in blue/white :)
I still say Adeedus, all Americans do even though it's wrong. The first time I heard it pronounced correctly was probably on the Office Blokes channel, and I didn't know what they were talking about haha
It's funny that I've have been pronouncing Audi the correct German way without even knowing that it was. Adidas sounds weird in the German pronunciation, though.
HOLY F##K was her introduction never-effin ending! Get on with it already!!!
Y'all should react to the one where she does the American brands
america is a big landmass…
I think Vo Vee is the way Germans pronounce VW
1860 München plays in White and Blue. Bayern München is the newer team
Literally NO ONE calls it Porshee
I know, that was a stretch for me....I've always pronounced it "Por-sha"
I've watched quite a few reactions to this video, and there were a few Americans who did pronounce it that way. I'd say it's not really unlikely given how big the country is. Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean people don't do it
Did you interview all 336,000,000 Americans to obtain that information? Methinks not.
@@davidcosta2244 Yes.
So Addidas is pronounced wrong in their own commercials?
I call adidas the usual American way not the way Germans do
Evrything comes from Germany babe , ❤
I've never heard anyone in the US pronounce it Por-she.
The FC Bayern München plays in red because there is another club in Munich called TSV 1860 München which plays in blue and white. TSV 1860 once was at the same level as FC Bayern München but declined dramatically to the third league. But while being on the same level of course not both clubs could wear blue and white.
Never heard anyone say oddie for Audi
Always though Porsh was short for Porsche...like how you say chevy
Mercedes, Adidas, Aldi, Nivea...blame the companies because even they say it wrong in their ads.
I've actually have always have pronounced it that way, and was surprised that it was the correct German pronunciation.
B is at the Blue, M is in the Middle an W is at the White☺️✌️
10:03 I believe Munich’s club plays in red because its stands out (branding mostly).
The same reason why teams like the Boston Celtics decided on Green when their football and baseball cousins play in Red and Dark Blue (Specifically the Red Sox but yeah).
Same with the Braves (Red/Blue) vs the Falcons and Hawks (Red/Black) in Atlanta. Most Branding to stand out.
The reason is that the colour blue/white is used by 1860 München - an older club from munic but Bayern Munic use them also in there logo.
Yes, Bayern Munich has the bavarian flag as circle in the middle of their logo. BTW The colors of Bavaria are white and blue (not blue and white) to be correct.
@@stefanb4375 As a matter of fact. The footballers use white and blue jerseys. The club's colors, however, are green and gold. That's why these colors are often used for the away jersey.

Trader Joe’s began in California but was sold to Aldi in 1979. It did not originate in Germany-she forgot to mention that.
she also did not claim that tj was founded in germany, she only stated that it is owned by aldi??? what are you trying to say here?
Bayern München most probably would had preferable chosen white and blue as their Club colours, but there is the much older Sports Club in Munich TSV 1860 München. They already had chosen these colours for their club. But of course Bayern also integrated the white and blue diamonds into their club logo. That's Bavarian local patrionism and a must. Also ever remember to name it white-blue NOT blue-white.😉
Jägermeister... I remember when I was reading a book about the American Revolutionary War in the 90's, a Hessian unit that served under British command was called the Jäger Regiment. Only the spelling was anglicized. Yaeger Regiment...
Americans pronounce all these brands based on the marketing campaigns of these German companies. So... it's not an American English pronounciation issue. It's how these corporations decided to market them.
AlDI"S very good store. When it came to K.C. 1980. I didnt know it was german. Until i met my wife in 82. Kc was very german growing up.
Love the biere love my wife
German accent in English is still here KC
My wife baverian drove BMW and HARLEY❤
Bayern Munich plays in "red white" because there is also the way older local rival club "TSV 1860 München" who plays in "blue white" which was till to the mid 1960ties "the big dog" in town and also one of the foundation members of today´´s Bundesliga which was founded in 1963 while "Bayern Munich" was just a 3rd tier club since their founding in 1900 until the "Beckenbauer Generation" played for them and raised from the 3rd Division into the Bundesliga like a storm laying the foundation of "Today´s Bayern Munich".
But even today more - Munich locals - are rooting for "1860" than for Bayern Munich (although "1860" is currently in the 3rd Division, but in the 90ties they had an era/a whole decade from 90 till 2000 where they were every season in the top 3-5 of the Bundesliga) while Bayern Munich´s huge fan base is spread over whole Bavaria + rest of Germany due to their constant success
14:50 No, that's not an accent. At the beginning of a word "st" and "sp" are pronounced "sht" and "shp" in standard German.
"Birkenstock" is a compound word consisting of the two distinct words "Birken" and "Stock". That's why she pronounced the "st" of "Stock" that way.
However, when the "st"/"sp" are located within or at the end of a single word, like in "rosten [to rust]" or "Espe [aspen]", they are pronounced like they are spelt.
Contrary to your assumption, you can rather detect an accent, when a person's way of speaking doesn't apply to these standards.
In the Austrian states of Tyrol and Vorarlberg, for instance, people exclusively say "sht" and "shp" regardless of the position of these letter combinations, whereas people from the north of Germany use to exclusively say "st" and "sp".
Regarding "a" and "ä":
The "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "car" and the "ä" like the "a" in "care". 🙂
yep aldi is German i call it al-di
Bayern Munich plays in red because the colors blue and white were already occupied by 1860 Munich, which was 40 years older.
Also anytime you see a Z in German, it’s pronounced like “ts”
So Benz is pronounced “bents” in German
The cheapest Mercedes offered in USA is the GLA and it comes with way more standard equipment then other markets, you can buy them with cloth, manual seats and no sunroof in Europe. In the USA powered seats, leatherette and sunroof are all standard not to mention the smallest engine we get is the 250 meanwhile they have like a GLA120d over there
1860 Minich plays in traditional blue and white...
We don't have accents unless words are French but we don't really use them. Ä, ö and ü aren't accents but a different sound that is close to a, o and u
also, the umlaut (the two dots above a letter) also make the letter a different one, like a and ä are two different letters not a letter with an accent (: we’ve got 30 letters (the standard 16 plus äüöß) and ß is called scharfes s, or sharp s, which replaces double s, at least sometimes)
1:53 😄
She sounds French when she say's Mercedes.
thats because German cares about the original pronunciations if something comes into the language. especially since WW2 where "speaking like the bad guys" was enforced.
No she doesn't. The pronunciation including the accents on Mercédès Jellinek's name would make it sound very different from the German pronunciation of Mercedes-Benz.
@@Nemshee whatever I’m not arguing with you, she sounds French to me.
1860 Munich plays in white and blue.
i thought HARIBO was American
Adidas sounds better in American.
No
I’m American and I pronounce Adidas the original German way, my Uncle’s wife is German, so I always how to pronounce them ,the right way.
23:22 sounds like SoCal haha, or should I say jaja
Hi, little sidenote:
In its early years, FC Bayern played in blue jerseys. It was only a merger that turned the former "Blues" into today's "Reds".
No joke: the Reds were blue in the beginning! What kind of derbies would there have been if FC Bayern had kept this color? The TSV 1860 would probably have worn green and gold, the club colors of TSV 1860, instead of the white and blue of the soccer department. The change of colors at FC Bayern has to do with its historical development.
Four years after the founding of the "1st Munich Football Club of 1896", enthusiastic footballers who had left the "MTV München von 1879" due to disputes over joining the Association of Southern German Football Clubs founded FC Bayern. They choose the Bavarian national colors as their club colors: White and blue. However, due to the large number of foreign players, FC Bayern is initially regarded as a "club der Zuagroastn - Club of newcomers". In the fifth year of the club's existence, FC Bayern seeks the support of a larger club and merges with Münchner Sport-Club - Munich Sports Club (MSC) in 1906. The soccer department retains its independence and its own administration, but adopts the MSC's playing kit: red pants and white shirts without shirt numbers. The Reds are born.
best regards
Fun fact... And the Munich fellows, captured the enblem of a small club from north- west Bavaria, called FC Bayern Alzenau, in 1970...

They aren’t mispronounced in English. They are anglicized to make sense to native English speakers. We don’t take in foreign words and then continue to pronounce them like the native language. 60% of vocabulary in English come from French. Are we supposed to pronounce them like native French speakers? Of course not.
How you say Quesadilla or San Jose or Jalapeno ? Go to store and ask for items in anglicized way, you will get strange looks.
@@shawnanderson6313 Simple changes in pronunciation are expected-of course, but I doubt you go around and pronounce any words from French with a French accent. And you don’t say “San” like in Spanish as it would be different than in English. We say “San” with a short /a/ sound in English. Not so in Spanish. You really can’t be this silly and uneducated, can you?

You stop the video constantly and taaaaaaaalk way too much over it!
In German, the letters "VW" are sounded out as "Fow Vay"...curious but she doesn't even pronounce German "correctly" (with standard pronunciation), but she sounds like an Austrian when she pronounces 'Volkswagen' as "Foykswagen" (at 7:10). Later in the video, when she has a spot designated to VW, I see she clearly (and rather forcibly) enunicates it carefully and puts an 'l' in it instead of a 'i/y'. 😆

Hay stop chatting and get on with the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go watch the original video if you don't want to watch a reaction.
Bayern München had to choose other colours than blue and white because there already had been an older football club in München with the colours blue and white also in the Bundesliga named 1860. Unfortunately they became bankrupt.
