Samee😭💀
Me too until I heard a radio DJ called her ”Lay-bay“ and I was like…😨😨😨😱😱😱
That’s English for you
SAME
I called her “law-fey” 😭
me too
I feel so bad now😭
Same
same
same😭🥲
Calling her "LoFi" 😅
Same 💀
How
Same
Same tho 😂😅
Same 😢
I have to say Law-Fee so my google understand what I want it to play😂
Google and alexa always play lauv when i try to pronounce “law-fee”.
Getting google to play her music is so hard. It always thinks Lofi, Lauv or the lourve
not me calling her lau- fei the whole time😂
I called her that too :0
omg i thought i was the only one lol 💀
literally 😭😭
You're actually pronouncing it more in form with Old Norse. Icelandic pronunciation has drifted somewhat from what it used to be when it was Old Norse.
@@RedRhys64 wow thats kewl
The way I’ve been calling her Luffey cause one piece 🤨😭
sAME
Sameeeee! I've been fan since last two days ago. And, I call her Luffey.
😭
LMAOOO
the one piece is reeeaaal
True Icelandic form sounds Cantonese!
She's half chinese after all
yea it does, kinda sound like Lui Vey
she is half chinese so it was probably intentional to fit both languages
@@delacruzsamueljirop.3766 half chinese has got nothing to do with it, she said its the icelandic pronunciation. otherwise if it was due to her chinese accent, she would pronounced the english version more chinese aswell.
Also almost sounds like Löwe (german word for lion)
The Icelandic form sounds much more interesting with the merged vowels; flowing in a sense. Lovely
I was saying Lau (like in hour)•Fay 😅
Lœivei is beautiful 💛
loofy
@@zezale6807Sounds as goofy 😅Löv Ei
Now we know the true pronunciation 🎉
The language sounds beautiful but i also did a double take when i first heard you sign then when I put a face to your voice I was very happy to see a newly born Star and im sertin what ever language or song you sing will sound like heaven 😎🤓✌🏽
you should’ve already known it tbh 🤷♀️
@@user-ug7ow3gh8ostfu
@@user-ug7ow3gh8onot everyone has an Icelandic accent?? How would we all know
@@user-ug7ow3gh8o not everyone knows icelandic names
I thought her name was "laow-fee"
Sameee
I've had this on repeat for like 5 minutes. She's so intoxicating.
What a gentle beauty.
ive been saying law-fee BAHHAHA
i was calling her 'lay fay'
All this time I've been pronouncing it Wif-fey 😍
It sounds like cantonese 😳 makes it easier for me to pronounce then!
I always say laugh y
Laufey: "In true Icelandic form, it's Lœivei"
My Brain: "It's leviOsa, not levioSA!"
Fax, it’s barely any different if at all 😂
😂😂😂🎉🎉
I've said every pronunciation posible on earth to listen to her music on alexa, but it puts something else
How come I always cry to your songs like I can really relate but I actually don’t😭
I hope she’s gets a Grammy
They would probably pronounce it wrong
She diddd
I'll probably never meet this woman, but out of respect, I want to remember how to pronounce her name
THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE PRONUNCIATION ARE KILLING ME

@@gwen6622 take a joke
@@ajuslucky5432 be funny then
I LOVE HER SM AJSJKQJAJS
An absolute doll.
Original way of saying your name is soo much better than the English version
When I first started following her on Instagram, she would always say her name was pronounced "Loy-Vay." Then one day she started saying it was "Lay-Vay." I still pronounce it the Icelandic way.
@@tvrbob8681I called her lay-vay because loy-vay is hard for me to pronounce.
so it’s funny because when i first learned how to pronounce her name i had been pronouncing it the way my friend who introduced me to her music says it, la fay. i was in the car with my dad visiting him for the summer IN ICELAND and he asked me how it’s spelled. i responded “it’s spelled like laufey (l-ow-fee)” and he asked how that was spelled. i spelled it out and he said “oh is she icelandic?” i said idk, googled it, and found out she’s half icelandic, like me, and half mandarin but living in the U.S. and cali, like me. he told me it was pronounced like how she said it and that day was pretty life changing for me. from that point after i started to realize that she had a song in icelandic and had several of her songs but also sung with the icelandic symphony. fun fact: she can speak english, icelandic, and mandarin.
Me who can pronounce it becouse in hungary we have the ö sound
I don't know if it is exactly the same, but I learned a little German in college, and the ö is pretty similar sounding to my ears. I can almost pronounce it correctly. I'm in the USA.
Me calling her : law-fai
me right now after her spelling her name : 👁️ 👁️
👄

She checks all the boxes, alluring name, looks and music while maintaining enough mystery about her background to give hope to her supporters of hearing anything she has to say

Don’t you notice how
I get quiet when there’s no one else around
Me and you and awkward silence
Don’t you dare look at me that way
I don’t need reminders of how you don’t feel the same
Oh, the burning pain
Listening to you harp about some new soulmate
She’s so perfect
Blah, blah, blah
Oh, how I wish you’ll wake up one day
Run to me confess your love
At least just let me say
That when I talk to you
Oh, cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon
But don’t you feel it, too?
Confess I loved you from the start
What’s a girl to do
Lying on my bed staring
Into the blue
Unrequited terrifying
Love is driving me a bit insane
Have to get this off my chest
I’m telling you today
That when I talk to you
Oh, cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon
But don’t you feel it, too?
Confess I loved you from the start
Confess I loved you
Just thinking of you
I know I’ve loved you from the start
