The funny thing is that "Hut" actually means "hat" in German so I always thought it was a hat in the Pizza hut logo instead of a small house :')

[@cnachopchopnewsagency]

In my language it means "discount". So during my young time i thought, this place is so committed in offering discount pizza that they have it in their brand name🤣

WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS MEANT TO BE MISSPELLED HAT AND ITS A HAT IN THE LOGO

So...Does _Helmut_ mean _helmet?_ (Not that I'd be surprised if it did.)

[@Potoum]

I wonder if there's any 'Netflix and chill' in those 'first kitchen' 😏

[@lunelinessrhythm5104]

Yeah seems suspicious to me 😂

[@OgamiItto70]

Well, if I ever visit Japan I'll make it a point to try one of those great Fakkin burgers. As to Apple Computers products, one of their first personal computers, introduced in 1984, was called a "MacIntosh," which is the name of a variety of apple like Red Delicious or Autumn Glory or Granny Smith or Fuji. So "Mac" became part of the names of a lot of their products, _Powermac, Macbook, Macbook Pro,_ etc.

[@solisimperium1203]

i think the only reason why i know ようつべ as youtube is because, if you spell "youtube" as you would in english while using japanese IME keyboard, that word comes out.

[@FF2Guy]

I also miss Mister Donut 😢. Definitely one of my go-to shops in Japan. And I got my mattress from Nitori here in China and it is really comfortable. Try some of these western brand names in Chinese: McDonald’s = 麦当劳 (maidanglao) Burger King = 汉堡王 (hanbaowang) Pizza Hut = 必胜客 (bishengke) Apple = 苹果公司 (pingguogongsi, literally apple company) KFC = 肯德基 (kendeji) IKEA = 宜家 (yijia) or 宜家家居 (yijiajiaju) Starbucks = 星巴克 (xingbake) Coca-Cola = 可口可乐 (kekoukele)

[@LybertyZ]

I kind of love "maidanglao", but "hanbaowang" is also great.

[@ryu465]

you’re english prononciation is very good

[@chaosof99]

I have an idea for you: You could review "Bland Names" in anime. Often in Anime and other media characters interact with famous brands, but because it isn't sponsored by that brand they name will be obfuscated in some manner. This can be lazy, like just changing a letter or syllable, to quite clever. For example, in the anime "Mieruko-chan", the Bland Name for Starbucks is "Suchabacks" but spelled in really weird orthography combining Katakana and Kanji, ス茶葉ックス, but it sounds similar and since they inserted the Kanji for "tea leaf" it also makes thematic sense.

[@giuliiiun8157]

You are my favourite japanese teacher ever! You helped me so much!!! Btw you are stunning omg

The First Kitchen legit made me laugh out loud for a while. Thankyou. Oh and here in Australia we are the ones who say Sega as See-gah. 😊

Where I'm from in America we say "baggies" a lot to describe Ziploc bags. Would this translate into Japanese? ありがとうございます for the great video Misa-sensei~! ❤️

[@malokeytheallaround]

Lol I swear off saying “baggie” 😂 it is the weirdest word we have and I refuse to use it.

[@isaacvelasquez3892]

Same in Spanish “bolsitas” which is probably the best translation pf “baggies” and we say Ziploc bags “Bolsas Ziploc” too, curious how languages are influenced by English

[@Kehlen578]

Thank you for your work ! For McDonald's, in french we would say like in Kansai "Macdo" because "mac"' is just any Apple computer.

[@WrongWorld23]

The way Japanese people pronounce IKEA is very similar to the German pronunciation of it.

[@oskarsandstrom4209]

Very close to the swedish pronunciation as well.

[@MysticWhiteDragon.]

Sometimes but not often we use MickyD's for MacDonald's in the US.

[@RoysGamingGarret]

The funny thing about the last one "Sega", that's also abbreviated from Service Games (サービスゲーム）which was their former name from before the name change happened between the 60's and 70's.

[@Jambobist]

Your 'L' and 'R' pronounciations are so good!

[@philipdavis7521]

I love these, so interesting and useful. Even without knowing a language, it can be useful to be able to pronounce brand names clearly when asking for directions or help. Can I make one suggestion? If either as a separate video or (like you do with this one), you have a round up at the end, no more than a minute, so those of us trying to learn can rerun it multiple times to help cement in the memory. A visual pitch indicator would be really great too if thats not too much work - for us beginners, it can be hard to distinguish a 'proper' pitch change from regular intonation.

[@allanr9163]

Just imagine how many awkward encounters have happened between native Japanese speakers and Japanese speakers.... "Let's go to ファッキン" "But we just met!"

[@nipponmanju4516]

"Anyway" is Misa´s favorite expression atm

[@koxukoshu]

My take away from this is that It made me crave Mister Donuts, they're very common here and is on par with Dunkin's.

[@IMH15]

Adidas is German so the Japanese version is actually closer than the English version. Japanese and German sounds are intuitively quite close

[@JasonBlair]

We used to have Mr. Donut in the US when I was a kid, but I haven't seen one in years. Today we have a lot of Dunkin Donuts, or just go to grocery and convenience stores.

[@Sirenhound]

The ケンタ one makes sense since before KFC started going exclusively by the acronym, they were "Kentucky Fried Chicken". Spelled out it Katakana that one would be just begging to be shortened!

[@tranquocthanh949]

I like your new hair style, sensei

[@stefanomartello3786]

In italian japanese brands are pronounced the same way. I think italian language contains the same sounds japanese language has, except for the stress that we tend to put on every word even if japanese has none. Even Ikea in italian is pronounced as in Sweden. Also, SEGA in italian it means "saw" but is also common slang for "masturbation" (males' only). You can only immagine how many stupid jokes people make about it.

[@mookiestewart3776]

Italian is way closer to Spanish then Japanese

[@stefanomartello3786]

@@mookiestewart3776 Yeah, sure. I'll say you more, as an italian I can understand something like 70% of what spanish speakers say (and I never studied spanish) because grammar and vocabulary are really similar. As far as I know this happens both ways for spanish speakers hearing italian. But I was tot talking about the similarity of languages. My statement was about the sounds proper of each language. English and japanese like chinese and italian (or also german and italian for example)... are really different in pronunciation, making it difficoult to speak the other one (among the couples I wrote) without an heavy accent. The pronunciation of japanese, instead, for some reasons, is very easy for italian speakers. We are already used to pronounce all the sounds that are part of the japanese language. The opposite is not that true because italian language has a couple of sounds that japanese language doesn't have so japanese speakers can pronounce almost perfecly italian words without those sounds but have trouble with the ones with them. All of this is considered "when speaking without having practiced the pronounce". Just about natural affinity of sounds among languages. Every language can be spoken almost without accent if you practice them enough of course. I hope I made clear my previous statement.

[@gozarusamurai5499]

What I call all these as a Canadian: * Band Aid or bandage. I would understand adhesive bandage but not plaster. * Q-Tip. I wouldn't understand cotton buds. Cotton swaps would depend on the day that you ask me. * Ziploc or Freezer bag. * IKEA is aikiia. It makes sense to me that Japanese people would say it close to the Swedish way. I think vowels in romanji are based on how vowels are used in Continental Europe. * A MUJI opened up recently near me. I hear people say muuji and muhji. * If you work for Microsoft, apparently you're supposed to say "I'll Bing it" instead of "I'll Google it". * SEGA usually sounds like seiga where I live.

[@Wissididom]

I had the same problem learning Pizza Hut because the translation of the german "Hut" is "Hat" in english

[@adriancentra]

And the logo even looks like a hat! That can’t be a coincidence, right?

[@aoiahiru670]

(American?) English slang for McDonald's is "Micky D's" (Mih-Kee-Dees). EDIT: I've never heard anyone pronounce Sega as "see-ga." Yikes!

In Australia we call it Maccas

@@Rinko-hoshi hmmm yeah in the west it's Mick. (Mc). not Mac. Kind of interesting how many countries pronounce the Mc as Mac. Although there is the famous "Big Mac" burger, so maybe that contributes to it idk.

[@T3ZZO]

That smile gets me ever time 😊

[@humanbean3]

Everyone I know pronounces SEGA as SeGUH. We do that with every word with consonant-vowel-consonant-"A" though. Mecha = MechUH Papa = PaPUH Mega = MeGUH Gigabyte = GigUHbyte That's gotta be one of the hardest things about learning how to pronounce English like a native. All the inconsistent ways vowels are used. It's still gotta be 10 times easier than learning Japanese though >
