Finally I can pronounce Ben White

[@peterruff5810]

For English people that is the toughest name in the world to say.

it's wrong though. It's more like Shaar - deh. He probably anglicised it on that occasion to make it easier for some people. But it's wrong and he has answered differently (correctly) in the past: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2qykpprfN5pi7s&ab_channel=BrentfordFootballClub

Apparently the “o” & “es” is silent in European Portuguese, if it were Brazilian Portuguese it would’ve been pronounced clearly.

Ramus Højlund didn’t even say it the danish way btw 😂

[@Oakeedokee7]

As an Irish person, I will say Kelleher threw me off initially. Depending on dialect, the way he pronounces Caoimhín is correct, but so is "Qwee-Veen" (which I am more familiar with). Same goes for the Irish name Caoimhe, can be pronounced as "Keeva" or "Queeva"

[@DisconnectedRoamer]

I've been saying qwee vin thinking I was cultured 😢

[@Kwioresma]

Irish is the wildes language I know. And I'm German 😂 like how does Caoimhin end up being pronounced Quee Veen 😮😂

[@marcus8030]

@@analyticalmindset How is Gavi pronounced?

[@everyonesfavoritesejong]

​​@@marcus8030Gavi is Gah-vee but he will probably say Gah-bee because a lot of us Spanish speakers pronounce V like B, I tend to do this a lot. But I don't think Garnacho is actually like "Harnacho" like it says, if you listen to him, it sounds like "GAR" but he just has an accent.

[@kitty_s23456]

​@@everyonesfavoritesejongI thought the G sounding like an H is only if the G is followed by E or I, example gente (hente) or Gibraltar (Hibraltar). I was also surprised with Garnacho's pronunciation of his own surname. Maybe it's the Argentinian accent? (I dunno)

[@toontalk4258]

This is a great idea and should be basic training for all commentators, however, it's completely bloody useless if you use incorrect spellings on the video. Eg. It should be Fabian Schär or Fabian Schaer. Not Schar. If you spelled it correctly every time (and by 'you' I'm talking about the Independent, the Premier League, the Chronicle, Sky, Newcastle United... everyone) then maybe people would pronounce it correctly. If I was a Newcastle player, I'd be gutted that Alan Shearer can't pronounce my name correctly on MotD.

@@Oakeedokee7 I wouldn’t particularly care especially when speaking another language where the same name is pronounced differently, and I think he’ll be fine getting paid millions to get his name said wrong a bit.

​@@Bryan3onWell if it was Brazilian Portuguese it would still be pronounced Fernanjees. It's just that he speaks European Portuguese so it's Fernanjeesh.
