    For those wondering what the difference is, (she kinda articulates it poorly) it’s a different in vowels in the “saoir” part of her name. Here’s the ipa for anyone that’s curious: sɪərʃə, sɜːrʃə (the first one is what she describes as the Irish way, the second one is the “american” way). Basically, what that means is the proper way to say the name is a combination of two vowels, a short i as in kIt or hIstoric, and a reduced shwa as in commA or bAzzar. So it’s siərsha. Whereas, the American pronunciation is like “ur” in nURse or blURRy, or sursha. So there’s the difference for y’all, siərsha vs sursha. Hope this helps!!
    Edit: actually she says something closer to sɛrʃə but sɪərʃə is how it’s written on the Wikipedia page, so 🤷

    It would be helpful if she would say what part we Americans are getting wrong. Like, the sounds of an American and an Irish accent are different and we literally don’t even hear the same sounds after a certain age so we don’t really know what to listen for. So many interviewers have said the two pronunciations sound the same and I agree but I would like to be pronouncing her name correctly but don’t know where to begin to fix the problem, just, “You’re doing it wrong.” I’ve listened to videos over and over and cannot figure it out. 😢

      Only if she cares how people pronounce her name. Like, some people want their names pronounced in a very specific way and will take the time to explain it. Others, just, don't want to put the energy into it, and that's fine.
      Every British person I've ever met pronounces my name the British way (I'm American), and I literally don't care. My name is pronounced care-uh, but they always say car-uh. (It's not just an accent thing because they do have an air/err sound in their accent.) Simon Cowell did it to Kara DioGuardi for two full seasons of American Idol, and she just let it happen.
      Of course, it does complicate matters that some Americans named Kara/Cara pronounce their name the "British" way.😆

      There are a few differences I can hear, one is the emphasis on the back end of the first syllable, which is a thing in Irish accents. There's also the second syllable, which has a very short cut off end with a sort of catch in the throat, where the American pronunciation has a flatter, more drawn out ahhh. Instead of the word being two syllables of equal length and emphasis, the Irish pronunciation sounds like it's 2/3rds "Saoeur" and 1/3rd "scheh".

      Almost, but not quite. What she's saying doesn't really have an equivalent in English. Something to do with Irish pronunciation, but I don't know any of the correct terms.

      She explained it by demonstrating. If you can't hear the difference, then you probably never will.
      Either way, the way she pronounces it is more akin to "sear-sha" than "ser-sha" like people seem to think. Evidently, she doesn't have a problem with the pronunciation, hence the lack of a proper explanation, but she still demonstrated it.

    • @evvez
      @evvez ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The thing is people speaking different languages and accents are more likely to notice certain sounds and nuances than others, as demonstrated by the discussions in the comments here mentioning a number of ways to pronounce the name. You're better off just to digging up the IPA spelling and hoping it matches.

    • @rainbowkittycat627
      @rainbowkittycat627 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@evvez speaking of digging up the ipa, I found it! Here’s the explanation I came up with: For those wondering what the difference is, (she kinda articulates it poorly) it’s a different in vowels in the “saoir” part of her name. Here’s the ipa for anyone that’s curious: sɪərʃə, sɜːrʃə (the first one is what she describes as the Irish way, the second one is the “american” way). Basically, what that means is the proper way to say the name is a combination of two vowels, a short i as in kIt or hIstoric, and a reduced shwa as in commA or bAzzar. So it’s siərsha. Whereas, the American pronunciation is like “ur” in nURse or blURRy, or sursha. So there’s the difference for y’all, siərsha vs sursha. Hope this helps!!

    As a brazilian, the difference for me is really subtle. I’d have a hard time trying to pronunciate the right way. The irish accent and pronunciation is something I could understand in Dublin, but I’m not so sure in smaller cities.
