Yeah it is funny even when Americans can't fully decide how to pronounce Nike (which is an american brand) Some say Ni-kee while others are just Nike (like bike or the name Mike) If they can't even work out how to pronounce their own companies names, they shouldn't laugh or lecture people who pronounce foreign company names different to them.

Yeah right? People really seem to forget (or in the case of most Americans simply not bother) that it was a really common name before the one who ruined it. In the generation of our great-grandparents, there are so many Adolfs. ^^

Adolf was very common indeed. There are still a lot of streets called Adolfstraße. But nobody naming their son Adolf anymore. Except some crazy traditional people giving it as the middle name after the newborn's godfather who was named after the WW2 KIA relative (something like that I heard off).. but it's like the rarest first name although there are people with Adolf as the last name which you can't change easily in Germany

i have no problems with persons who calls ADOLF, in sweden allways uesed this name. the germans are crazy and it is a nice name. RUDOLF, equal, Rudolf Hess, he was a famous LUFTWAFFE PILOT in first Worldwar and the second leader in 3. REICH. The name should be normal. In the BUNDESLIGA, there is a TRAINER with name Adolf, he called himself Adi. You will be stronger in your life, if your name is ADOLF, i had no problem.

I had an Adidas tracksuit in the 1970s (Australia) and we pronounced it how the Germans say it. When my kids were older in the 90s they laughed at me for saying it wrong because it somehow changed to American while I wasn't paying attention. We obviously have a mixture of American and German pronunciations after watching this.

In Finland, as our language is rather unique, we need to start learning foreign languages at an early age. Germanic languages, like English, Swedish and German are often on top of our lists. Just about everyone speaks English here (and we all claim how poor our skills are), Swedish is because of our dear western neighbour (and as Finland's second official language) and Germany was our biggest trading partner once. Still, it slows down one's Finnish speech so much to pronounce all three of them correctly that it is easier to speak each language as such. We even earlier made Finnish words from foreign ones, but not now. Btw., English speakers talk much quicker than e.g. Finnish speakers, so maybe keep that in mind when abroad. Also, been to Munich myself earlier and it was so much fun I still wish I was back there. Go Englischer Garten!

I think what confuses most people is that Germany's alphabet looks like English, but it isn't English. The words may look like English writing, but it's not English writing. The same applies for many other languages, which is why ysgrifen looks like a someone bumped the keyboard, but it's pronounced is-gree-van and means writing in Welsh, because y is i, i is ee, f is v... you get the idea.

Fun facts, English is a hybrid language, with infiltrations from other languages; ie around 6% Greek, Romance/Latin 29%, Germanic 26% , Celtic/Norman/Saxon and so forth. English is constantly evolving, it is also having an affect on other languages now, as English is being inserted into other languages, when in their own language they don’t have a word for it. This stuff is so interesting. Good to note that Australia has a habit of pronouncing words the same way as the Germans.😢

The channel to whose video you reacted today has some excellent content. The tour of München by Feli and her brother, when she was home on holiday, is very interesting. Btw, without seeking to be critical, are adverbs no longer used in US English? Across several channels I've observed adjectives used where in British (and E African and Aussie) English we'd use adverbs.

just a small fyi that many aren't quite aware of - even though germany is a small country in area, with 84 million people it is the 19th largest country in population and by far the largest in europe, not taking into account turkey (85 million) and russia (144 million). and it has been quite populous for a long time + unlike many other large countries, all the areas have long been well developed. so that somewhat explains why many global brands were found in germany.

And in addition to that Germany can be found in the Top 4 countries rated by GDP for decades (before China took off Germany was third after USA and Japan most of the time since 1970). So it shouldn't be that surprising, that "some" of the goods aren't consumed in the country itself.

Adolf was once a very common first name in Germany. In the 19 thirties, the name again experienced a peak, when people still thought this guy was nice. But from then on, only very strange parents in Germany with weird reasons would still call their child that name today. From the end of the 1930s, the name has almost disappeared from the birth registers. So about as it will happen to the first name Wladimir now in Russia, this will be in a hundred years also almost disappeared.

Fun fact about Lufthansa (not mentioned in the video): it's a compound word of Luft (=Air) and Hansa, referring to the Hanseatic League (short: Hanse). The German Hanse was a medieval commercial confederation of guilds between the 12th and 15th centuries and some of the richest people of their time where part of it
@KaiHenningsen
@KaiHenningsen Год назад
To quote Wikipedia: _The Hanseatic League (/ˌhænsiˈætɪk/; Middle Low German: Hanse, Düdesche Hanse, Hansa; Modern German: Deutsche Hanse; Dutch: Hanze; Latin: Hansa Teutonica)[3] was a medieval commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in Central and Northern Europe. Growing from a few North German towns in the late 12th century, the League between the 13th and 15th centuries ultimately encompassed nearly 200 settlements, across seven modern-day countries ranging from Estonia in the north and east to the Netherlands in the west and Kraków, Poland, in the south.[4]_ [...] _Etymology_ _Hanse is the Old High German word for a band or troop.[7] This word was applied to bands of merchants traveling between the Hanseatic cities - whether by land or by sea.[8] Hanse in Middle Low German came to mean a society of merchants or a trader guild.[9] That it originally meant An-See, or "on the sea", is incorrect.[10]: 145_

Another Fun fact: the Hanse grew so powerful, they even went to war with Denmark two times. First time because Eric the VII. started to work with England and thus started to oppose the trading monopoly the Hanse had at that time. The second time they thought it would be funny to partake in the war between Denmark and Sweden (mostly out of grime for the first war that happened roughly 70 years earlier).

It's always fun to see Americans realise that some products they thought were theirs actually aren't 😂 I was lucky enough to be born in Germany when my dad was in the Army, so I've had the whole 'schooling' whenever we went to Aldi lol Over and over and over and over... haha I'm impressed most of the brands I pronounce correctly, albeit without the twang or accent. This just solves a very old argument with siblings and friends about how to pronounce Adidas, another good star for me! 😂🤣💖

Letter comes from german *"Buchsta(e)be"* • Shortly, Æ and æ is still in german Ä and ä, allowed to write out as Ae or ae, so we can see the root of it to this day Æ or æ. *Buchsta(e)be,* consists off 2 words, *BOUND,* *(die) Buche + sta(e)be (stäbe/stæbe!)* _(the) Beech + stick(s)_ >> the beech is the most common EU tree typ, in which germanics, cut same lenght *sticks,* carved in *Rune-Letters* which were then thrown to read the oracle, to get: *the meaning of smt!* = _(Rune-)_ Letter ~ Buchsta(e)be *• Why are so many "multi" bound words in german??* _You may NOW can already guess it right:_ *German Language to this day uses *Rune-Binding.* _But Why?_ Similar to Math! 3+1+7= *11* >> Each number has its own meaning. >> combined getting a NEW *meaning of smt!* >> 2ndly, _"How you came to it"_ = *traceability (Rückverfolgbarkeit). ...

Agreed, pronunciation is going to vary from country to country, no doubt, and no skin off my nose. Languages just differ in how letters are pronounced. However, for purposes of communication among different speakers it also shouldn't come as a surprise when native speakers of a company's name or products may be a bit confused when encountering these names in other languages. At least for the first few times. You know, with some you can guess what the person was talking about, but in some cases the difference is so great that a complete failure to communicate may (!) occur.

Adolf Dassler is credited with significantly contributing to the German teams first ever Football (soccer) World Cup Win in Bern in 1954. He was part of the teams support staff, responsible for their shoes. He had developed shoes with changeable spikes (cleats I think?) under them, so you could easily and quickly adapt your shoe to the weather condition. So the Hungarian team slipped and slid around the pitch, while the German's had far better footing and could beat Hungary in the end, despite them being the clear favourite.

Those censored parts are her own due to her channel being forced to do a name change. Her channel and all her socials were originally called "German Girl In America" but another female vlogger had the same name on her vlogs and thus Felicia had to do a complete rebrand and thus renamed her channel "Feli From Germany". The video Joel is reacting to is from before the name change, hence the blurred parts on her socials because they don't exist anymore by the old name.
