HaydnNUFC Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 No where near as annoying as people who aren't italian calling the transfer market "Mercato". Such people need to die in a fire IMO. Some people do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 BTW I don't pronounce Valencia like "Balenthia" or Barcelona as "Barthelona", but it just seems an odd thing to have as a pet hate. And I don't think commentators are trying to sound intelligent or cool when they say it, they're just pronouncing it, well, correctly. In that case i demand they start being consistant and call Munich "Munchen" and Paris "Paree" or however they say it. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Don’t agree. It’s reasonable to use the English name and pronunciation for the city and the native name for the club isn’t it? Rome/Roma, Napoli/Naples, Paris/PSG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 English commentators saying "Balenthia" It's Valencia you cunts. No it's not. You pronounce V in spanish as B. Yeah, and you pronounce V as V in English. Weird that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Köln too fwiw the same commentator who said "Balenthia" said Getafe with an English G. I assume (maybe wrongly?) it's like "Hetafe" in Spanish. That's why it's a pet hate.. at least be consistent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Would you be happy being referred to as 'Castillo Nuevo' by the Spanish? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Would you be happy being referred to as 'Castillo Nuevo' by the Spanish? They could call us whatever they feel comfortable calling us. I certainly wouldn't expect them to try and say "Newcastle" in an English or Geordie accent.

Greg Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Would you be happy being referred to as 'Castillo Nuevo' by the Spanish? Not analogous as that is the translation of the words 'new' and 'castle' not the place name Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What about PSG's full name? Should we be calling them Paris Saint Germain (with a hard s and t at the end of Paris and Saint respectively) like we would in English or Paree San Jerman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Would you be happy being referred to as 'Castillo Nuevo' by the Spanish? Eh? Since when are pronunciation and translation the same thing? Ok then, "Noocasstlay" as that's probably the closest way you'd say our combination of letters using the way the Spanish would say it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 maybe the bigger mistake is thinking there should be a single hard rule for every situation for simplicity's sake instead of taking each one into account individually ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they saying it the English way in the style of Hugh Grant as well because that's the pronunciation equivalent. Similarly we don't say 'Ren-ult' for Renault, but we also don't say 'hhhlrlreh-nohh' like Officer Crabtree in Allo Allo because that would be ridiculous.
