>>8609011
You don't pronounce the t, and "ain" are combined to make a sound where each letter are indistinguishable, not quite like in English but close.
His last name can is between low and law. Not certain how to explain the ending, kinda like run, but with no "n" if that makes any sense

>>8608950

>Eve

Like "Eva" from Evangelion or "Eve" from Wall-E

>>8608933
It's just like "E". I don't even pronounce it with the v. So like E say lawr ahn

How do you pronounce this buttslut's last name

>>8610145

Saint = sang without the ng
Lau = halfway between "low" and "la"
Rent = wrong without the ng

>>8610403

nigh-key

people pronounce it "nike" with no "ee" on the end drive me nuts

i.e. britbongs

>>8610432
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cara_Delvigne#cite_note-3

>>8610403
Apperantly you have to pronounce the "e" at the end

I've always pronounced it "hike" but with a "n" at the biggining.

>tfw my whole life had been a lie

(y)eev sa(n - nasal 'n') laura(nasal sound again)

4 years of hs french taught me well

>>8610403
The correct way of saying the word Nike, which means victory in ancient Greek which is where the brand got the idea, is "knee-kay". However, the correct pronunciation of the brand name itself is "nigh-key". Don't ask why

>>8610474
That's somewhat disappointing. Expected something exotic, maybe with a nj sound

help

is derby pronounced durr-bee or dar-bee?

I dislike most of his work but how to you properly pronounce Tisci?

>>8610589

>Tee-shi, I think.
Thanks, that's also what I thought
>>8610657
>Assche
Since I'm geman I pronounce it like the german word "Asche" (ash). I think it's pretty hard to properly pronounce it as an english speaker as it contains the sound "-sch"
This site includes a properly pronounced version of "Asche"

way to fall for obvi bait you idiot

God I'm so glad I live in Germany. I hate how Americans take a huge shit on every foreign word they see and call it the "American pronunciation" and just don't give a fuck.
I literally never heard "Yves Saint Laurent" pronounced any different than the french pronunciation. Although ironically the only people on this planet with comparable linguistic ignorance are probably the french.

im belgian but anyway, i speak french

>>8608933
I've always thought it was like "eves sahn lewrahn" but I'm probably way off

>mfw u need to use yr nose to speak french properly

>>8611980
We share a border with France and our cultures influenced each other.

Americans could say the same things about you when you try to say tortilla or whatever. You're not educated just because you know a company name from the ads they place in your country. Any actual foreign word and you'll fail like everyone else.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjFrYGj3Z8E

>>8608945

I live by the border with France, I'm pretty used to listening to it and even the way they pronounce stuff and some of those don't sound anything like it.

Yves would be something like Eeves.

>>8612931

moving to france with a dictionary

my cousin learned german after 6 months of living in germany without knowing a single word

>>8614121
Yes I am a salad, thanks?
>>8614142
I learnt it in school when I grew up but honestly the best way to learn anything is to just expose yourself to it as much as possible, do a basic course online and then just watch some french tv, read a french book, etc. reading it is much easier than speaking it

>>8614121
I bow to you Salad King

>>8614157
merci beaucoup

>>8609077
