While Anglos and Westerners usually at least try to pronounce, say, Japanese names right, they don’t even bother with Slavic/Eastern European ones, especially the ones with Cyrillic letters in them, which means that they end up writing the names ending with ‘ić’, as ‘ich’, and pronounce it with K. For example, if the last name is ‘Jovanović’, they’ll write it ‘Jovanovich’ and pronounce it ‘Jovanovik’.
There are names such as Ivan, Bela or Vera, which get pronounced as Ajvan, Beyla or Veyra instead of properly and of course Stalin being pronounced as Stalin instead of Staljin.
Then DimitrescU, if I have to hear it pronounced without U one more time, I’m going to lose it… They keep saying it without U, which just makes it sound French almost as if it’s Dimitresque, how hard is it to pronounce it with U?
Then the last name Ćertić, they write it as Certic or Sertic, which is completely wrong.
And the one I saw most recently, Miloch or Milosh instead of Miloš, it’s one of the most common names in Serbia and I see it frequently written like that for some goddamn reason.
So, why is it so hard for Westoids to at least try to pronounce and write Eastern European names correctly while being able do it accurately for Japanese ones which are miles harder?
And is it pronounced the same in them? No.
You’re not wrong to criticise Anglos for not trying with other languages, but by complaining about their pronunciation of written words you’re actually criticising them for the times they do actually try. They get it wrong, but they are actually trying when they make those specific mistakes, because of how the English language works.
Oh stop being melodramatic, you inserted all of that yourself. If you don’t know what chauvinism is you can just say.
U is U, it’s not completely silent either way however it’s pronounced.
They don’t for certain languages. There are certain languages which they really do try to get right most of the time, but for some others they simply don’t give a shit and keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
You said I’m similar to Anglos when, I literally never did or encouraged stuff which they’re doing.
Queue has 2 u’s and neither is pronounced. It’s also silent in enough and bout. You are just proving yourself profoundly ignorant about language.
Please just look up chauvinism. It does not mean “Anglo”, it’s just something Anglos also do.
Queue isn’t a Slavic/Eastern European word.
I stated what they do, that’s chauvinism, if it’s not that, point out why would I be.
You said u isn’t silent however it pronounced, I pointed out that in English, the language were discussing, it can be silent. Not being a Slavic word is completely irrelevant.
Literally none of that is chauvinism - they are actions resulting from chauvinism, but chauvinism itself is fanatical nationalism and belief in the superiority of your culture. You believe that foreigners should magically know how to pronounce Slavic words without ever encountering a Slavic speaker, and refusing to look at the material differences in languages that cause different pronunciations. Theres no actual analysis, you’re just coming up with post-hoc justifications for why you hate Anglos and sticking your fingers in your ears when that’s pointed out. There are real reasons to hate Anglos, you don’t have to act like a child.
ForeignersAnglos, all foreigners in my experience had little to no problem pronouncing the names. The difference is that Anglos simply don’t give a shit and won’t even try.Eastern Europe(along with other parts of the world they hate) IS superior to Angols, they always constantly portrayed us the way they did while they were going around and doing, well, you know everything they did, I don’t have to list it. This is actually just one of the pet peeves and it pales in comparison with the reasons I hate them the most for.
So do they not give a shit or only sometimes give a shit? Can you really not tell how incoherent your views have been as we’ve gone along this stupid, stupid little trip?
Why are you on Lemmygrad? You don’t believe in any of the theoretical underpinning of communism, you don’t believe in materialism, you decided to share that you subscribed to racial theory because your feelings were hurt completely unprompted - why are you here? Shouldn’t you be on sjw or one of the other fascist instances?
Very rarely give a shit.
Where did you get that? Of course I’m communist, like my entire family. And since when is believing that Global South is superior to Anglos wrong? I’ve literally seen comments that say stuff like nuke whole England/France etc, ‘‘kill all white Westerners’’, comparing Anglos with apes etc and suddenly it’s a problem? And what do you mean by sjw?
It’s politics, not a football team, your family’s support shouldn’t have any effect on yours.
Are you actually serious? Do you genuinely think you can be a communist and believe in the inherent racial superiority or inferiority of certain people?
How have you survived 38 years on this godsforsaken earth and you can’t tell the difference between “I hate x country for its actions” and “these people are literally genetically inferior to me”?
sjw is sh.itjust.works, an instance for nazis like you.
