As a European (Swede), I find it comforting that we usually have it easier to pronounce these European brands somewhat correct. Our natural accent is quite close to the German.

[@mlamBAcher27]

I love pronouncing words/brand names correctly but I always feel like people are going to laugh at me for faking an accent that is not my own (American).

[@dafoex]

In my opinion, so long as you say it close to the source language's pronunciation, you're doing better than most. Even though I likely still butcher the pronunciation of foreign words, at least attempting to say them properly is better than shoehorning them into an already messy language's rules.

I'm Italian, and I studied foreign languages (English, German and French) at the university. Also, I spent several years abroad. I can really tell that you have German roots (which I already assumed from your surname), your German in fact is just perfect. Also your French is quite accurate. Your Italian is not that bad, but still clearly spoken by a foreigner. The g in Ermenegildo was wrong. And Moschino was really totally mispronounced. 😋 Still, I think you are overall really skilled even in languages. Way above the average.

[@caraboska]

Actually, he has trouble with nasal sounds in French. I've gone into the details in my own comment. I'm also surprised you didn't mention that he pronounced the Z at the beginning of Zegna as Z, not as DZ.

[@chocolatesouljah]

Alpha Fort I think it’s appropriate to say brand names in your accent when it makes sense. Some people in their naïveté pronoun American brands such as Ralph Lauren - Ralph Luh - Rahn as if it’s French. Granted his last name really was Lifshitz. Unless the pronunciation is so butchered it’s unrecognizable I’d stick with my Americanized regional way. If I’m corrected by someone who knows better I’ll accept. Or if I’m mispronouncing the name of someone personally. Of course out of respect I will try. Other than that I think there are other linguistic details in common everyday usage I’d rather focus on. Honestly, I watch the first two minutes out of curiosity and then I realize life is too short to focus on pronouncing name brands correctly. I’d rather expand my vocabulary by being well read. Learn better Spanish (I live in California) and relax… Rather than worry about whether people think I’m pronouncing brand names correctly. Signing off, still a peasant and proud!

Inspadave, That is because you are an intelligent, cultured person and not a bigoted sanctimonious prat.

[@rosettagrey2851]

What you mention is an accent effect rather than mispronunciation though. No need to correct that, it can't really be helped.

[@Inspadave]

rosetta grey it is not a mispronunciation, and certainly not an accent effect. It is simply the way they say certain words in their language.

Xu Su is right!

As French it's a plaisir to hear you doing your best to pronounced our words. Thank's for the laugh.

[@GeoFavTech]

Most I pronounce correctly since I’m bilingual with French. Thanks for introducing Loro Pianá; I checked the site I got another 10 years before wearing such clothes good to know. Walked past there store in London and Paris never knew what they sold. Busy chasing Hypebeast clothing. Good channel. Take care.

I'm trilingual but not one of those languages is German. I had them all messed up.

Great video, I really liked it, but: 12:52 Ermenegildo Zegna (Italian first name -gildo not sheeldo but hard -jildo: Ermenejildo Zegna) 13:46 Moschino (Italian family name with ch pronounced in English as a k not Mos-cheeno but: Moskino) I'm surprised you did not explain Jaeger LeCoultre, which many connoisseurs actually mispronounce "yægerlecoultre" due to the German origin of the name however, the company explains that, given to its origin in the French-Swiss area, the name is to be pronounced "jejelecultre"

[@noobfl]

but.. even inside jaeger le coultre, some people pronounce jaeger in a german way and som in the french way.. so probably both is correct (but jejerlecu(l)tre sounds much better

[@mihamoto]

Good try on the Italian, but your double r needs exercise. You pronounce the names with only 1 r. Also moschino. Ch has a sound of a k in Italian. Hope this helps. Ciao!

[@Lovecraft1990]

Also Ermenegildo! It doesn't have a soft G at all. The G is quite strong, indeed

[@TomBerishaj]

He pronounces is like the French would, which is ironic because he spends the whole video acting like an American buying Givenchy in an American store from an American salesman should expect to pronounce it in a language foreign to both of them and everyone else in the country.

[@gavinfarkas6043]

I had to take diction because of my major. His double r is just odd. It is a bit between the rolled and flipped r. He misused the the dental and fricitive t and d as well. His French was great though the alveolar r was beautiful.

[@BenjiSun]

as it was taught to me it's Ermene-Jill-doh, and the R is a rolling R. and Zegna is like xeen-ya. hopefully that's correct.

[@782anon]

He had this arrogance about how Americans pronounce words, but he also has trouble pronouncing words in languages that aren't native to him. We should just accept that people have different accents and won't pronounce words from other languages perfectly. With that said, it's nice to have a general idea of how a word should be pronounced. In the end, people will still understand what is being said even if they can't roll double Rs.

Even Moncler is now owned by Italian, the same for Hugo Boss. The second one is now part of Valentino Fashion Group. Anyway, they both sell their stocks in Milan

[@danielda4471]

@@matteocampagnoli4074 which doesn't change the fact of boss being a well know german brand and Moncler being french and by thus, being pronounced like in their original form -sorry-
