Nouns (even for objects) are either masculine or feminine in French, and nouns that end with "*ier" (poirier, couturier, soulier, etc.) are all masculine. That's why "Perrier" just doesn't sound right for something, and even more someone, who is a female. Just thought I should explain ^_^

Maybe I'm just used to the "nike" spelling bc I think its pretty, but"niki" looks like it should be pronounced "nicky". If it was truly spelled phonetically it should be like "naikey" or something, but anyways don't blame americans blame confusing translations!

The french people pronounced ikea correctly tho. The pronounciation has nothing to do with "the big i" lmao. "Ee keh ah" is how you pronounce it

Well where the guy that said the "big I" comment was mistaken is that he only applied the logic of the letter prononciation in English, without thinking maybe that's different in another language, so it sounded a bit ignorant in my opinion. However in lots of european languages like French, Spanish, German etc and I guess Swedish too judging by how they pronounce it just the same, "i" letter sounds like "ee" in English like you said so that's why it's natural for those who speak those languages to pronounce certain brands the way they do haha

Biba Oreo : French people pronounce IKEA: eekea. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think our French pronounciation is close to the Swedish way to say IKEA...

[@Whimswirl]

Biba Oreo I feel like it's a bit different than how the French say it. In Scandinavia it's pronounced "eekea" where the e after the k is pronounced like the e in echo elephant etc rather than the e in in Nike or or Leeds. Whereas it seems like the French pronounce it like "eekea" with the Nike/Leeds etc e sound after the k. I hope that makes sense.

What Not To Do At a Stoplight well if its really from the goddess then the word comes from Greek so the way americans say it is also wrong. Its "NeeKee" the way it should be pronounced which yes it means victory in greek. In Greece we pronounce the brand name as the french in the video did anyway ;p.

[@AndreeaWest]

I think we pronounce it that way also because you don't say Mike (my-kee) you say (myk) if you want to say (my-kee) you write it as Mikey. So it's reasonable (at least from my point of view) to say Nike not Nikey. It's not like everyone pronounces Italian names or even more food names the correct Italian way either (ex. Pistacchio it's pronounced pistakkio not pistaschio) but ANYWAY this argument can go on and on.. let's just say everyone pronounces it the way they want, because at the end of the day we can understand each other on what we are referring to. 😁
