>tfw when you know how to say a word in its native language, but your not sure how people would say it in your own
I just went to the bakery to order a "quiche". I know how to say it in French, but i don't want to come off as autistic by going all 'Ich hätte gerne eine KISH'

pic unrelated, it's my fetish

chinks, swimsuits, or chinks in swimsuits?

all three

Christ, this is me with German. I know I'll come off as a douche if I use proper pronunciations but will feel retarded if I don't. Just pick one and stick with it, don't switch them around arbitrarily, e.g.

>"IT'S PRONOUNCED PORSH-UH
>Same guy doesn't refer to Volkswagen as "Folksvagun"

Here, on the subject, how would a Kraut say numbers such as 335 (like how in English where we'd say three thirty five instead three hundred and thirty five)
>>

nice fetish bro

I just butcher the pronunciation and hope for the best. I won't pronounce it correctly anyways.
Hopefully the listener can get a laugh out of it.

If it refers to the amount of something (like 335 liters, 335 apples, etc.) I always say dreihundert fünfunddreißig. it means three hundred thirty five and that's how i say it in English too desu.
if it's a room number or a zip code or something, then i say the numbers individually (drei drei fünf) but many people would say drei fünfunddreißig (three thirty five)

I can think of a bunch of place names like Québec, pronounced "kay-beck" but most English speakers call it "kwa-beck" near me is an American town called Calais but they say it "cal-us" instead of "cal-ay," for Edinburgh "ed-in-bur-uh" vs "ed-in-berg, " only New Englanders and Atlantic Canadians seem to be able to pronounce Worcester or Worcestershire correctly as they would be in the UK.

"Guten Tag! Ich hätte gerne eine Kiesch."
