How You REALLY Pronounce Tinashe | On Air with Ryan Seacrest

[@veggie42]

Tinashe Kachingwe was born on February 6, 1993 in Lexington, Kentucky, and is the eldest child of college professors Michael and Aimie Kachingwe. Her father is a professor who teaches acting at California State Polytechnic University and a first generation immigrant of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, while her mother, who is of Danish, Norwegian, Irish, and English descent, teaches physical therapy at California State University, Northridge. Her parents met each other on a blind date during their time as undergrads at the University of Iowa.[9][10][11] Tinashe's name means "We are with God" in the Shona language. She has two younger brothers, Thulani and Kudzai.[12] Kudzai is still enrolled in high school while Thulani attends college at San Diego State University.[9] She and her family moved to Los Angeles, California when she was eight years old.[4] She attended Crescenta Valley High School for a year before finishing early to pursue a career in music full-time.[13] She began studying ballet, tap, and jazz dancing at the age of 4, and continued to compete in various styles as a part of a dance company until she was 18.[14]

I know I'm late, but my last name is Kachinga😂

[@kallmekiki]

She seems so cool and down to earth, love her and her music 🎶🎵🎼

[@dorothy4232]

It's Ti-nah-sheh. That is the proper pronunciation. The ending is not 'shay' its 'sheh' like the 'she' in the word 'shed. I'm Zimbabwean and I have cousins with that name. Tinashe is a Shona name, the language and ethnic group of the majority of Zimbabweans.

[@l0wrise_jeans]

Nobody cares about that trash

[@mberlyyy..]

[@ItsBiebsDirection]

I always thought it was Ti-Nah-Sheh and I came here to know if I was right, lol

[@MrTop3selected]

[@90sBabyNERD]

Why didn't Tinashe correct the lady when she said it was Zimbabwean when its actually Shona?

[@pokertodeath]

Afro Bluee Probably she figured it was rude. Same reason she didnt correct the dude when he mispronounced it.

[@HUSTLEKIDD718]

[@coolexio]

You are being unnecessarily pedantic

[@stanaccount7082]

[@macintashHD]

[@nopebih]

She’s pronouncing HER name correctly. Just because it’s derived from Zimbabwean, doesn’t mean she’s pronouncing her name wrong.

[@charbrii]

A always called her / ten-uh-she

[@Crochetloveby_dee]

That's a nice studio...

[@marcrodriguez7937]

shes a total zimbo sorry to those who don't know what zimbo means but seriously it aint that hard no offense to those who can't say it correctly also "hood music" was a lil bit offensive

[@supermixgirl]

[@kahmorastimemanagement6096]

Cant everyone understand not everyone is culturally aware of EVERY culture in the world? Of course he wouldn't research the language of Zimbabwe, how would it be beneficial for them? Not everyone knowns its Shona, just like how ppl say it's Filipino, not Tagalog.

[@bs1512]

[@MinniMouseLuver143]

It's subtle. It's supposed to be TEE-nah-shay but the common mistake people make is by pronouncing it TUH - nah - shay.

[@chokoreetokun8083]

HAHAHA "Hood music"
