@@raco1246 No! La pronunciación de Spiderman viene de como se menciona el superhéroe en las películas originales de Toby Maguire, hay que tener en cuenta que España es un país donde la gente no se lleva demasiado bien con el inglés y más hace 20 años (Spiderman 1 salió en 2002) así que cambiaron la pronunciación para facilitar al espectador la misma. Para el resto de superhéroes que han ido saltando a la gran pantalla a lo largo de los años su pronunciación es la misma que en inglés dejando de lado alguno cuyo nombre hemos "traducido", como el famoso caso con el que tanta gente se ríe de Wolverine siendo Lobezno. Hoy en día incluso la pronunciación de Spiderman ya es la original y poca gente y sobretodo mayor, como yo que vimos la trilogía original seguimos diciendo Espiderman jajaja. Un saludo camarada!

[@Dread_2137]

I think it's a matter of that both languages are pronouncing words as they are written. Like word "queue" is normally pronounced "Q", but both of them would probabaly pronounced that "queue".

I often have wondered if it was the influence from the Church and its Latin influence that caused Polish to have that slight similarity with the Romance languages.

[@Kuzyn]

@@HypnoticChronic1 The first words Polish borrowed from other languages were from Czech language. Then we took words from Latin > German > Italian > French > Ruthenian/Russian > Oriental/Turkish > English. It is such a simplification that describes how we borrowed words over time. However right now according to the Polish dictionary we have the biggest amount of loanwords from English, then French > Greek > Latin > German > Italian.

[@HypnoticChronic1]

@@Kuzyn Maybe so however I was not positing a question regarding loanwords but rather, contemplating on if Latin had a slight influence on pronunciation and manner of speech in the Polish language instead.

@@tomac_mamoht I mean now everyone knows the original American pronunciation and says it like 'nikee' because they know that's the way of saying it in brand's home country. It was years ago when most of the people pronounced name of the brand without 'ee' sound at the end, and the only cases when it sounded like 'nikee' was when they were referring to actual shoes made by nike adding Polish plural suffix -i at the end (for non-Polish speakers, in Polish we pronounce brand name in plural when we refer to the type of garment which name itself is in plural, like shoes, pants, boxers etc., so in Polish it would be 'I'm wearing adidases/nikes/wranglers' etc.).

5:35 "Nike" is named after the Greek goddess of victory, Νίκη, which in Ancient Greek you would pronounce "nee-keh", and in modern Greek as "nee-kee". But English has a way of pronouncing Greek deities' names with half-Greek, half-English pronunciation (exemple : Hay-dees instead of Ah-this (or Ah-thehs in Ancient Greek, the letter 'd' (Δ,δ) in Greek is pronounced like the 'th' sound in 'that')). So bc Nike is an American company, the right way to say it would be the English way, but if you wanna get technical, the "right" way would be either "nee-keh" or "nee-kee"

[@blinski1]

People say English and German pronunciation is the most similar because of they're both Germanic languages. No, that's not the point: if Germans wanted to pronounce brand names their way just like other countries do, it would sound as bizarre for others as sometimes French, Spanish or Polish pronunciation. Germans just willingly try to stick to the original pronunciation as much as possible; which other countries do not do usually, doing it just to the point it's suitable for their 'comfort of the tongue'. I don't know if it's just considered cool in Germany, or maybe it is still some post-war cultural reminiscence of not trying to 'appropriate' elements of other cultures and pay them proper respect? (but that one explanation would fall apart with 'Zamzung':)

[@mr.bellic471]

Me sorprende tanta gente que se queja de que la española no lo pronuncia bien.

[@LimboMessiahX]

Actually, even from a German point of view... erm, or rather 'listening'... 🙃, spelling Nike as 'Nikee' makes way more sense than 'Nyk' (like many/most Germans do), cuz 'Nikee' is simply more consistent with the word's origin, which is the ancient mythological Greek goddess who personified victory, hence [ˈniːkə] in German or /ˈnaɪki/ in English. Also, the company themselves have clarified a couple of times that the word's origin and thus its correct pronunciation is identical to the one of the mythological diety.

Adding to the USA in spanish we say Estados Unidos, so EEUU. I think her explanations were mostly inaccurate(? Like focusing on how it would be said with spanish pronunciation but it is not what we talk like. And also Netflíx??? We say Netflix like the english pronunciation

In Latin America we say Estados Unidos, i thought Spain would pronounce it like that too

[@Xarliew7]

We say Estados Unidos or America but the spanish girl is just saying how would literal spanish should sound which is wrong...

6:28 simply because for a french reader there are no reason to pronounce disnEY differently de hEY, in french having a "h" or a "n" before "ey" won't impact the sound of "ey"

[@bryanaguilaralvarado5182]

in Latin America it is said to the United States like grango Landia o Estados Unidos

Julie was wrong in France we said also "Les États-Unis d'Amérique" for U.S.A

The Spanish girl again didn’t understand what the video is about. Nobody in Spain says Iron Man or any of these words the way they’re spelled…

[@AlexanderJBC]

Spiderman "Espiderman" well... but other NOT!.

[@bilbohob7179]

Pues yo digo Iron man tal cuál si estoy en España. A ver de que voy a decir "aion men" como si fuera un analfabeto... Si no te gusta te rascas.

The US pronunciation of Nike is off the Greek for Victory, thus Nike, from the statue

[@user-uv3px9cx3l]

But the Greek word for "Victory" sounds like Neekee

[@tomhalla426]

@@user-uv3px9cx3l Americans butcher foreign languages regularly, but nykee is closer than nyke.

[@Nutzername92a]

The funny thing is, if a German pronounces "Nike" with German pronunciation rules, everybody will laugh and say "No! You have to pronounce it in English!". So the German ends up saying "Naik". And everybody will laugh and say: "No! It comes from Greek, so the e at the end is not silent! It's pronounced Naikiii!"... Then you look up how Greeks actually pronounce their goddess and you'll find out it's 100% what the German said at the very beginning :D Nike. Not Naik, not Naiki.

[@tomhalla426]

@@Nutzername92a I think Americans use the Greek pronunciation by Theology instructors using Ancient Greek, not the way modern Greek speakers speak Greek.

[@bilbohob7179]

@@Nutzername92a yes. Greek original is pronounced like spanish or German rules... The weird ones are Englisch
