this guy is so open towards everything foreign, its almost hard to believe he's a full blood american, props to him

[marvinlinnarz]

I remember a commentator in a Race Calling it Porschiiii. And that caused the germans laughing and rolling on the floor

[flouk]

I just had to laugh for 10 minutes straight at HARIBO. "Now, this guy didn´t had a brother, right?" Made my day. Keep up the good work, dude!

[Kalywen]

As a german i can say, that your pronunciation was absolutely on point for an english tongue that is used to the i and e in english. Haven't seen many videos of english speakers that were that close to the german pronunciation.

[bluewater]

I love the way Deutsch sounds when spoken correctly.
it's a powerful language and a very straightforward language.

When I was a kid, so 20 plus years ago, everyone would say Adidas the German way. Over time Australia became more americanised and people started saying it the American way. I never budged. I was sure the German way was right even though I never looked into it.

I'm surprised she didn't mention the electrical manufacturer, Braun. Here in the UK nearly everyone pronounces it Brawn, even when they pronounce Audi correctly. It should really be Brown, as in the colour, but I suppose no-one wants to say they've bought a brown shaver!

[Christian_Johansson]

I love this kind of "reaction" videos. Most of the brand names are pronounced very similar here in Sweden and down in Germany, guess its because they both are derived from the "germanic" language.

Another thing that most people get wrong is that germanic language is the same as german language or derived from german language but in reality the germanic language isnt spoken anywhere anymore and german is part of the germanic languages. English also come from the germanic language but is now very different compared to the scandinavian language that it derive from.

In fact, most people would be surprised how many languages that DO derive from the germanic language.

[cadifan]

I believe "Adidas" is pronounced the American way in only America, the rest of the world we use the German pronunciation.
We have Miele white wear in NZ too and we're guilty of pronouncing the last "e" as an "a".
"Audi" in NZ is pronounced both the American way or the German way, depends on who you're talking to.

With the 2 different Aldi, the split was apparently all about the selling of cigarettes and tobacco one brother wanted to sell them and the other didn't

[eve-llblyat]

Fun Fact. Trolli candys is also German. Pronounced the same as in english. Before a rebrand the company was called "WILMED" after the founder (Wil)ly (Med)erer. Guess the nameing of the company like that was a thing at the time. Bosch, Siemens, DHL, Continental, Happag loyed are also well known around the globe.

[grandmothergoose]

It wasn't that long ago I saw a snippet of a social media conversation that started with an American poking fun at Australians for saying Adidas as "added ass", which of course more Americans joining in on, Aussies were retorting and it was a debate of who was right, and then along came some Germans into the conversation... I just wish I could remember where I saw it, because some of the comments were hilarious.

[Hendricus]

Yes, Aldi Nord and Aldi South are different companies and Aldi in the US as well as Trader Joe's are different companies as well. But, while it sounds dramatic, the Albrecht brothers had a falling out about whether or not they should sell cigarettes since they can be easily stolen. They still worked together and divided Germany among themselves and in the past ~1-2 years, the 2 have begun moving together again by ditching some of their cheaper brands to have 1 for all of Germany instead of 2 and they got a mixture between formerly Northern and Southern brands. The goal is, to also combine marketing by having the same products in all of Germany and making things easier. Plus they have a stronger bargaining power. I suspect, while they probably won't fuse again to avoid selling stuff etc, they are moving closer together and probably start integrating management etc when possible to save money. Plus they are already only competitors in the area where their sections meet, so most Germans only have 1 option anyway.

Edit: I should add, when I say "the 2", I mean the 2 companies, not the brothers. Both are dead

[cmbk]

You're pronunciation of Volkswagen is spot on...👍🏻

[onigvd]

a lot of australians usually say Vee-Dub for VW brand or at least around the people i’ve interacted with.

[magnusthiel]

Hey IWrocker. German dude here. That vid was really refreshing to watch. You're so open minded! More power to you. Oh, and my sub. lol Cheers!

[popcornshiner]

This was another fun video Ian, As an Aussie, it seems to me that Australia generally pronounces the words pretty close to the way she explained it.

[mikulda]

6:58 Never ask:
- a woman, her age
- a man, his salary
- a german company, what they were doing between 1933 and 1945
🙂

[danielklein]

Wow Trolli indeed is a german brand. You´re good with your guessing man.

[Runnerskeeper]

I'm german and have actually seen a bunch of reaction videos of this video from Feli. Although you were off some times, you didn't butcher it as much as some others. So respect for playing along and doing pretty well imo. Stay curious. Love your content, so I'm clicking subscribe right now. <3
