Forever Simgirl she took on the name Bacardi because of her sister, Hennessy. My point is: it wasn’t a bad question, it was an American’s question, bc in America having a name after a drink isn’t far fetched
Actually it's a name, it comes from the doctor Louis Eugène Perrier who discovered the attributes of the water at Bouillens France. And the moment is still funny :-)
Nouns (even for objects) are either masculine or feminine in French, and nouns that end with "*ier" (poirier, couturier, soulier, etc.) are all masculine. That's why "Perrier" just doesn't sound right for something, and even more someone, who is a female. Just thought I should explain ^_^
Fun fact: the cloth for jeans was invented in Nîmes, France, about 500 years ago as "Sars de Nîmes" (Denim). The weaver-family later moved to Genova, thus it was then called "genes", which in English became "jeans".
@King Croft but nike is a correct way for spelling the greek goddess of the victory in english , and i think the most common way(atleast in my research). Maybe I'm just used to the "nike" spelling bc I think its pretty, but"niki" looks like it should be pronounced "nicky". If it was truly spelled phonetically it should be like "naikey" or something, but anyways don't blame americans blame confusing translations!
King Croft You’re thinking of Modern Greek. The name comes from Classical Greek when νίκη was pronounced with an open e at the end and not an i. Learn some history.
Ines Chauveau Read the captions, he said he’s been eating the Pedigree adult dog food since he became an adult. It was obviously a joke lol OR AT LEAST I HOPE but so was the febreze part.
Samreen Ashraf Amdani he does not say that he eats dog food but that it's this one that he "takes since he grew up" so we guess it's for his dog and not for him 😂
@@Finda5 im just saying usally you say that when the thing you talk about come from that country but nvm its the language barrier i cant explain stuff as good as i think of in english ^^ just an example : you're in a bar/pub in like spain and someone say "fuck spain" then you could say im not even spanish but i feel offended no ? i mean otherwise i really didnt get it x)
desiiiiid ikr the way the pronounced it was the way I grew up pronouncing it. Then I came to America and people were pronouncing it very strangely, in my opinion
Fun fact, many french last names come from the Middle-Age and refer to the profession of the person. For instance, "Perrier" means the one working in a quarry.
the suit guy is flirting lol edit: wow so many likes lol. tbh after seeing the second time... i kinda didn't see it anymore? lol. but his behavior and eye and everything definitely tell that he's interested with the girl. 😂 not sure if unconscious act is counted as flirting.
@@TheElvenKeys DID YOU KNOW that only people in the Kansai region say "Makudo" and people in the Tokyo area say "Makku" and neither of them believe you when you tell them about the other one
Alienne4 married to a Japanese from Tokyo and he say Macdonald’s. But the biggest lie is when they say it’s not popular in Japan. It is. They are in denial. I can stand in line for 30 minutes waiting to order in the morning.
As a Swede, Ima tell ya, the French pronounce IKEA pretty accurately Edit: found this a year later lmao apparently a lot of y'all were interested in the Swedish pronunciation, here's a video, although, he has a certain Swedish dialect so I'd pronounce it slightly differently but close enough :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JBhkD4Lb4yE.html However, IKEA is an acronym that stands for the founders name (IK) and where he grew up (EA) so it's not a real word and therefore there's no real right way to say it I suppose but that's the way we say it and the way Ingvar Kamprad said it
Tu m’étonnes qu’il se sent à l’aise ! Et si après ça il se met un petit pchit de Fée du logis ou Decapfour en guise de parfum, il est bon pour un séjour en HP pendant un moment... ;)
Neutrogena is an american brand who started by selling products made by the french speaking belgian chemist Edmond Fromont. Levi's is an american brand created by Levi Strauss a german born american businessman. His company sold pants made of Denim a textile created in Nîmes, France. The word Denim comes from "de Nîmes" wich means "from Nîmes". Pedigree comes from the French expression "pied de grue" (crane foot), used to designate the genealogical tree of an animal.
Well where the guy that said the "big I" comment was mistaken is that he only applied the logic of the letter prononciation in English, without thinking maybe that's different in another language, so it sounded a bit ignorant in my opinion. However in lots of european languages like French, Spanish, German etc and I guess Swedish too judging by how they pronounce it just the same, "i" letter sounds like "ee" in English like you said so that's why it's natural for those who speak those languages to pronounce certain brands the way they do haha
@@MayuraVyamsaka "assez chaud" isn't the best way to say that he's hot but I guess it works XD usually it's more something like "Il est sexy" or "Il est canon"
something i've noticed is that french people tend to be the type to recognise that a pronunciation is different and offer their ver whilst some american folks'd be like 'what no that's-!!!'
@@alyssaghoryeb4705 That's exactly what he/she meant. Instantly offended by simple things. It's simply the truth that the American people, at least in that video, didn't behave really respectful towards the French.
They were invented by a German immigrant of Jewish decent in San Fransisco in the 1800's. I'd call that American. Pretty sure the patent was US patent office, too.
Hallådär Lille Vän : Thank you very much! I love Sweden as a country, your culture, mentality, way of life, etc... Also, I love Swedish people! Love from France xx
Biba Oreo : French people pronounce IKEA: eekea. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think our French pronounciation is close to the Swedish way to say IKEA...
Biba Oreo I feel like it's a bit different than how the French say it. In Scandinavia it's pronounced "eekea" where the e after the k is pronounced like the e in echo elephant etc rather than the e in in Nike or or Leeds. Whereas it seems like the French pronounce it like "eekea" with the Nike/Leeds etc e sound after the k. I hope that makes sense.
Dorothea Linnaeus Thankyou mate, as you would know commenting this aussies pronounce IKEA like {I-KEY-AH} so yea. Have good one ( have a good day) sorry it’s my slang
When i was in Germany with the military for a bit i made some friends and we use to have a drinking game like this. they would have us (soldiers) pronounce words in German and we would do the same to them with English and everyone that laughed had to drink. So many laughs, so many drinks! Hope those people are all doing well to this day.
Hahaharry24 oh I live in London for a year then during the summer holidays I go to Sheffield. Cause I switch between my parents. But both Sheffield and London say Mac. I’ve never heard of mook but that’s cool
