This feels like a Samsung Advertisement.

In Germany they pronounce Huawei as literally Hua Wai

[–] clubb@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How do you think they pronounce it everywhere else? Where I live it's the same

[–] el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't depend on locality as much as it does on advertising.

In the UK its either pronounced "wawhey" or "that Chinese company" depending on speaker.

Exactly. There's a massive difference between "wawhey" and "Hua Wai". I was shocked when i first heard that it was supposed to be pronounced the first way

Last christmas I gave [ya ma heart] but the very next day, you gave it [away]. This year, ??? from tears, I'll give it to [someone] special.

[–] drphungky@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

??? Is to save me from tears

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know that's the original, but I couldn't really make that fit into Toshiba

thanks. I'm not a native English speaker and don't exactly pronounce those names like that so was very confused.
