The new italian flag 🇪🇸, but now i don't know what is the flag of Spain ? 😂

[vattulaitti]

We call pokemons 'pokemoni' but the brand is just pokemon 🇫🇮

1:21 Ah, is she Japanese? I hear Korean instead..

"German" girl had absolutely no clue and gave a lot of misinformation. It's almost like German isn't her native language.

uniqlo would be spoken like a regular u like booze, we don't have this "you" sound (This might be excusable if one assumes it's an English brand but among all the other misinformation it's not)
Pokemon is spoken with a long o, not a short one, just check for the German intro,
French words would just be pronounced french as for a German possible, usually only 60-year old Manfred would say Kommes if he saw a word like commes which is obviously French. It's also common sense that a French c sound is also like our ß: You don't have to study French to know this, we literally have adapted French words in our language with the same sounds.

Also, no German would say Kass-i-o: It's with a long a and a soft s, exactly like in Italian and French

If you are familiar with German you know that a short vowel is mostly spoken before a double consonant, obviously there is no in CASIO. This girl pronounces every vowel short no matter the word.I don't know what kind of phonetics this girl is supposed to represent but it's definitely not the German one.

Btw. she also said Honda with a super soft D like she would mimic a Japanese accent, maybe she just have been living too long abroad LOL.

If i heard right, the second girl from left is explaining Japanese in Korean? That's funny lol

[rkhachatryan]

That italian girls voice is so pleasant to listen to <3!!!!

[henri]

I agree that Japonese culture is popular everywhere, i studied japonese before and i usually try to say the pronunciation right even though my pronunciation is bad

[dercorta-noyokamiboyteenpr]

i dont want to be rude, but i never heard germans pronounce japanese companies that way. and ive been all over germany allready, i have no idea if she is mistaking and accidently pronounces it the english way?

[Yupppi]

It's funny how the finnish person said correctly all the ones she didn't know and the brands she knew she said weirdly. By finnish standards that is. In Finland we don't say "pokemoni", never heard that in 30 years unless it's the plural "pokemonit". We say "pokemon". And we say asics like japanese unless someone is pretentious about their pronunciation and thinks it's an english brand. Even if it was english we'd say it like japanese though. We also wouldn't say "muji" like english dz, or "muhi" like spanish. We would say "muji" like in english "muyi". Unless we heard it in japanese and then we'd say it with the "dz". Her Panasonic is right, probably hasn't heard it if she wasn't allowed to use electronics and/or she's too young, because everyone know Panasonic VHS machines if not the audio gear. Yamaha sure is popular in Finland, making everything from instruments to motorbikes and boat motors and you name it, just a huge brand.

I was a bit shocked about the example of "when I was young I used to play Super Mario Heroes", being such a new game I hadn't even heard of it. Everyone I know would say "when I was young I played Super Mario Bros" (1-3) or maybe Super Mario 64 if they're young.

Funny how when it comes to Lexus, japanese spell it as an english word. Similar to the japanese brand with french name. Throws quite a wrench in the wheel.

I like the point Xen brought up about the longer vowel sounds in British English. You really notice the French influence on English when a British person is speaking RP, both British English and French are very elegant languages. Our English in Wisconsin is more like how Jessica speaks, it's very German, Dutch and Scandanavian influenced, so it's more, idk, abrupt or maybe utilitarian? More of a challenge to wax poetic with.

The Yamaha outboard motor was the first Yamaha product I was familiar with.

[supermilkchan]

Should’ve invited an American. “Toy-yodas” and “Pokey-mans” all around 😂

[mimamo]

Maybe the German girl hasn't lived for a long time in Germany anymore, or she was confused, because the British girl came right before her, but her pronunciation was mostly quite different to how Germans actually pronounce those brands.

[lunauwu]

I really wanted to see someone Spanish there ☹️. I was very excited to see the comparisons Pronunciation of brands or foods. From the other countries and Spain, I hope they make a video like this but with Spain

[SkolD-kwrh]

China is so cute and lowkey looks like Carly Rae Jepsen 🙂

[dercorta-noyokamiboyteenpr]

i think i know the problem with german, she isnt pronouncing it german at all. and reminds me alot of english(american?) pronounciation. which is frustrating me

[Tenseiken_]

The german girl made the S sound of many of these sound very english. For example, her "Casio" has a very fast and sharp S and where I'm from the first syllable is usually slightly longer and the S is a rather smooth sound, comparable to the english Z. Makes me wonder if her native german dialect or "internationalification" is the reason for that.

Ciao Italia, ti amiamo dalla Spagna e Roma è una parte importante della nostra identità

[TheNewGreenIsBlue]

French and Japanese both have little to no stress points in their words, which is why when the sounds are a good fit for French, the meter and rhythm of the words are similar. North American English very commonly stresses the second syllable in 3-syllable words. British English does as well, but to a lesser extent.

I'm moving to France) their accents are so soft and lovely <3
