  • however

  • Sometimes in conversation when they come up people are not sure how to pronounce them and you hear all kinds of variations

  • often the reason is that the country's

  • Origin is not the country you're from and so it all gets tangled up that stirs up the question

  • Should you pronounce something in the original way?

  • It was meant to be said or you adapted to your local surroundings

  • The reality is no matter how you say it people will judge you for it

  • If you say catchy instead of Cartier

  • some people may look at you as an arrogant prick on the other hand if you say Cartier instead of khaki

  • People may think of you as a peasant

  • so often really the choice what to say is yours and it may even depend on the situation you're in but

  • It never hurts to know the proper pronunciation of a brand name
