Do you intentionally mispronounce some foreign words to not sound pretentious in your country?
GOOLD?
I never mispronounce anything but people try to psyop me into thinking I'm mispronouncing things
>>219811243Aux algueaux
Only French ones
>>219811243why cant swedes pronounce the ch sound
I always found it incredibly cringy to hear people try and pronounce a foreign word the original way despite not speaking that languageI remember hearing some gay liberal try and say qatar the arabic way, despite not being arabic or even muslim, and it just sounded super pretentious and retarded
>>219811738we say it correctly but for whatever schizophrenic reason everyone goes LMAO THIS NIGGA SAID SHEESE
>>219811854Like how, Ku-tur instead of Ka-tar?
>>219811854lol i go out of my way to pronounce anything arabic with the most over the top english accent possible because im swarthy as shit and dont want people thinking im muslim
>>219811738they also cant do W or J>"im yumpin">"im raiding BVL tonight"
>>219811243We pretty much pronounce everything wrong, we say “chítus” for cheetos and “aifôni” for iphone and so on. A while ago an autistic boy tried to correct how people spell cheetos and everyone just made fun of him because nobody cares about the “right” spelling
>>219811243No, if ik how something is supposed to be pronounced it bothers me too much not to do it properly. It also bothers me when other ppl mispronounce stuff, like Skargård
>>219811243I intentionally mispronounce those french words they use in english so that they actually understand what i saySo i say cooooohw instead of coupambeeaaaynce instead of ambiancereepurtwoooor instead of répertoireetc
>>219811930kind of, but they also tried to pronounce the K the same way it is in arabic with a KT sound, just sounded very stupid overall
I will always pronounce 'Spiderman' and 'WiFi' as if they were Spanish words even if I know that pronunciation is far from correct.
>>219811243I have to sometimes add some informal words because most of my exposure to French was either through school work, uni classes, public speech reading classes, and binge reading some historical Catholic writings one time. Otherwise I sound like a fucking Ace Attorney character.
I pronounce "Judas Priest" as "Juudas Praist" so people don't think that I'm some sort of faggot who doesn't undestand music.
>>219811243>Have a guy called "Andrew" around>Pronounce his name in English>Guys look at me weirdly and one of them laughs and say that I'm gay
>>219811854The alternative is sounding like an anti-intellectual rube or a total yokel. Much more so if the word comes up often, or your mother language is something no one really speaks or no one really has much accent exposure to. It's either parsing out e-lec-tri-city or having it come out of elecuhuursity and people going "what?", among other classic examples like the Indian university lecturer.
I always pronounce things the Australian way like brunoise as brunois, américaine as ameri-kane, croissant as crahsont, etc
>>219811243Yeah, I did that an hour ago when went to buy food and bought a "poke"
>>219811243Yes
