Ah. Brand names. Sometimes, they’re easy to spell and pronounce; but sometimes, they’re downright now. If you’ve ever had trouble figuring out how to pronounce certain brand names, then maybe these photos from On Air PK will help:
13 Brand Names That You Might Have Been Pronouncing Wrong All This Time
13. Benetton
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone pronounce it as “Ben-e-ten”, but hey.
12. Adobe
Pretty sure everyone gets this one right?
11. Renault
Why so many extra letters, France? :p
10. Chevrolet
I always love how the French pronounce their words, though.
9. Nike
It’s “Nai-key”, guys.
8. Van Heusen
Apparently, Van Heusen is an American brand! I didn’t know that, admittedly.
7. Del Monte
Okay, I think that one was easy for Filipinos.
6. Volkswagen
Because in Germany V is usually pronounced as F and W is usually pronounced as V. True story.
5. adidas
Emphasis on the ‘aah’ as opposed to the ‘deed’.
4. Porsche
It’s not a long aa at the end, though, just a slight a.
3. Lamborghini
Or just make your life easier and call it a Lambo.
2. Samsung
This one kind of surprised me.
1. Hyundai
This one, too.
Are there any other brand names out there that you have trouble pronouncing? Share them with us! :p
