gr!m Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I was watching a video review on YouTube, forget who from, some woman. All in all, people really need to research at least a little pronunciation when doing videos. I mean I realize I mispronounced words when I started videos, but this woman had quite a few listed.For example she's calling Al Fahker "Al Fahk-neer"...ewww sounds horrible. Remember that in arab the "hk" sound is throaty and phlemy and the k is not really pronounced. I would love to see someone do a video on how to pronounce all the names, and brands.LOL watched more of her reviews (apparently she's on HookahPro)....she says "Nakala "(yes with two A's) ...and Laynalia...or erm...Layalina as properly said...ugh it's very hurtful to my cultured ears. I mean yeah, so my typos suck and I can't spell all words but owwww......please educate yourself. Edited February 12, 2008 by gr!m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I'm not picky at all, it just so happens this person had many serious errors in a less than 5 minute review lol.I would much rather watch a dozen video reviews by someone who mispronounces a word here and there than see 1 post by someone calling it to others attention. I mean honestly does it feel great to sit and judge others who are trying to give honest reviews. Perhaps you should put in the work and make your own review videos with correct pronounciations. The world is full of critics, most like yourself sit and judge others who try, while you do nothing but complain. Edited February 13, 2008 by Dunkel!

jester589 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I probably need to work on my pronunciation...Everytime I say Al Fakher someone always misunderstands it as "I'll Fuck her" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 what we are getting at is if you do make a video, at least try to sound words out correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPeace Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i hate the way the stupid wannabe rappers at my school talk where they are like "psccchhh chy'all bitches man kno y'all beee git'n up in my shiet dog". its like "ummm shut the fuck up at least im gonna go somewhere" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskysibe Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I agree with Dunkel. Who cares about the pronunciation, they are trying. You have to understand those words arent english words so sounding them out and doing the best you can is all you can ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erufiku Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well, if you are good with that stuff, why don't you make a post on how to pronounce these names correctly? I don't mean a video, you can always post IPA - I'm pretty sure they have most of the natural human language sounds covered.I'd love to get some correct arabic pronunciation down...

Hookah_Bob3 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hell, I don't even care if people say them correctly, but I hate it when people add letters where there shouldn't be and take away letters where there should be..There'd the "n" come from in fakher?
