Porsche is 2 syllables! — Pronunciation Guide — Proper Care & Feeding of Cars with Jason Cammisa

To be a better car expert, you must pronounce Porsche with TWO syllables! This is the ultimate Porsche pronunciation guide.

It doesn’t matter what language you speak, a proper noun’s pronunciation is determined by its owner. And Porsche says it's Poor-Sha.

If you're too lazy to say it right, you're a douc... (cough.) Just watch the video, okay?

I can't tell you how happy this video makes me.

[PanameraTSE]

Disappointed that the Youtube algorithm didn't suggest these earlier. I love them all. Great Job Jason.

Not just a German word, like "spracht" or "zwei", but a family name. It retains its pronunciation across borders and languages (unless of course the family decides to alter it after emigrating to ease integration into their new community, for example).

I almost cried when I saw Jason’s face

Germans pronounce it as “Por-Scheh”, not “Por-ScheAAA”.

Thank you, Jason, for clarifying how Porsche SHOULD be pronounced(in TWO syllables!)!

[Hans-Jurgen]

SO glad you’re back, you’re definitely one of my fav car guys.
... but please stop perpetuating the incorrect pronunciation. There is no “a” at the end of Porsche. It’s a short flat “e”. You doucha 😂

I’m a simple man, Jason cammisa makes a video, I watch it and like it

Oh my good it’s soooo good to have you back 😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I was also glad to have the pronunciation² of Lancia¹ clarified last year, in one of Jason's old 'Spotlight' video from memory. 🙂

¹ pronounced as 'LAHN-chia' (despite what Google's Murican and Britsh style guide tells you. 😒)
² pronounced as 'proe-nunsy-Ay-shun'

Do you call BMWs bee-em-vays? Because that's how that one is pronounced.

[carguy]

Thank you. I keep correcting people all the time. It's the only bad thing about owning a 911.

[tsvetangeorgiev]

I've been saying that for years, but as an immigrant, my words don't carry the same weight. Thanks, Jason :)

[parrotyee]

So is Ruf pronounced Roof and not Rough?

[alandobson]

Jason please do this type of video with more cars. Like the Urus, which people pronounce Er-us, not You-ruce like the Italians do.

[Entroper]

I hope you follow the same rules for Folksvahgen. :)

[Pirustae]

Exactly. The bloke on carwow should watch this. Along with many Americans.

[symonw]

It's 2020 and Jason's back (already). Yeah!!!

[Krazy_Shorts]

Baha ha. . this is the best "Proper care and feed of cars" video yet!

[sportbikejesus]

I speak German and you’re correct, Porsche is pronounced with 2 syllables. However, Germans also drop the e and replace it with an apostrophe sometimes. Eg “Ich hab’ “ instead of “ich habe”. I’m not sure germans never say “Porsche’ “ as in a vernacular way. Sort of like saying “goin’ “. Know what I’m sayin?
