Say it right!

I read a CLEO magazine juz now.. There was a part that make my mouth mumbling..hehe.. trying to say it correctly..huhu..payah jugak yer.. nak wat camne kn? i'm Terengganurian + Malaysian k!! i'm not british or American! But there's nothing more mortifying than mispronouncing a brand name when you're at a chi-chi event. huhu..Malu gak la kan pi bli brg branded gile tp nk sebut name brand pun slh kn.(But who's care? Ske ati aku la nk wat languange sendiri kn??hehe)..However, here's a cheat sheet to pronouncing some of the more famous brands..

BRAND PRONOUNCED AS
  • Hermes ~ air-mez
  • Christian Louboutin ~ kree-styaan lu-bu-tahn
  • Yves Saint Laurent ~ eef-song-lor-hon
  • Lanvin ~ lon-hon
  • Louis Vuitton ~ loo-wee-vee-thon
  • Guerlain ~ gur-lan
  • Cosme Decorte ~ cos-may-day-co-tay
  • La Mer ~ La-mare
  • Kose ~ co-say
  • Chopard ~ show-par
  • Piaget ~ pee-ah-zhay
  • Bulgari ~ bull-gery
  • Jaeger- LeCoultre ~ Yay-ger-ler-coolt
  • Audemars Piguet ~ oh-der-mar-pee-gay
  • Porsche ~ pore-sha

Cam berbelit gak la lidah nk pronounced mende alah ni kn?? Talking bout this issue, aku teringat bout the video of Siti Nurhaliza trying to speak English.. Some people will say it as 'memalukan'.. but i wanna ask u.. all da reader.. are u famous as Siti Nurhaliza?? Did world know u?? Can u sing a song like her??Huhu.. act, i'm not a fan of Siti Nurhaliza k.. but i luv her song.. but when it come to dis issue, aku cam terpikir blk.. dh die femes kerana menyanyi.. itu kelebihan yg die ada.. she's a singer, not student @ lecturer @ qualified student with the degree or wat so ever.. Even haku yg nk hbs degree pun cannot speak fluently.. The main point yg aku cube gtau skang, ape slhnye die speak malay kn?? Proud to be Malaysian k.. ! tp ada 1 comment from one of the blogger said.. ilmu tak boleh dijual beli.. yes.. i sokong u.. eventhough she's not good in speaking english, she should learn how to speak or at least understand the meaning. Walaupun aku pun gune some english in my blog, aku msh sanjung(huhu) our BM k.. As i told earlier, i wrote this blog, to improve my english.. Ilmu itu penting rite.. u dun need to berlagak... juz simpan ilmu di dada..haha (biar betui aku ni).. To Siti, juz be proud to speak Malay, but at the same time improve urself in english..'like u tahu but u feel like stupid when speak English'(haha)..
