Soulex posted:I have people call it "Cutter" of all things. Yeah. That's more correct than kuh-TAR. KUH-tar is acceptable. CUT-er, but said as kind of a mix between KUH-tar and KUH-ter, and something closer to gutter/guttar are also accurate. In my experience actual Qataris get that no one loving knows how to say it and even locals will pronounce it a bit different. But kuh-TAR is the most anglicized butchering of it out there. What makes it extra confusing is that sometimes locals will intentionally use kuh-TAR around anglophones for clarity rather than explaining how they say it. So then someone saying kuh-TAR feels vindicated. Alternate valid take: that's how you say it in English, so it's every bit as valid as saying Germany instead of Deutschland. mlmp08 fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Dec 26, 2018 |

Here's video of various people from Northwestern U of Qatar, both foreign and otherwise, saying Qatar. Notably, some native speakers explain that they say the word totally differently in Arabic vs English. https://vimeo.com/14490749 bonus confusion: when the person who's Qatari armed forces is telling you how to say it, but they're actually contract worker soldiers who are immigrants from Egypt/Syria/Oman/etc. Or they're non-mil contract laborers from India. mlmp08 fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Dec 26, 2018 |

Kind of like how everyone I've met from Latin America pronounces Miami (my ammi) the English way rather than the Spanish way (mi ami), even when conversing in Spanish.

I think this is the right way to go about this kind of thing. Once there's an established name for a country in a language it's OK to pronounce it that way even if it's nothing like what a native to that country would call it. Spain/España etc.

Both the Q and the T in the English spelling refer to sounds that no dialect of English has. The first A and the second A are also different letters, where one is a short vowel and the other is a long vowel.

psydude posted:Kind of like how everyone I've met from Latin America pronounces Miami (my ammi) the English way rather than the Spanish way (mi ami), even when conversing in Spanish. Oh yes, this. I realize this goes both ways, but here is my story: I have a really good customer who came to America from Cuba as a small child and has lived his whole life in a Spanish speaking part of town. You learn to live with the code-switching - much like he does, I guess. He once told me, "Hey, I got to make you deliver to the Boooks, you been there?" "Eh, no?" (Oh, boook-an-eers!) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The most endearing bit is when he works Spanish gender cases into English, "That is a brand-new trailer, please don't hurt him!" Fair enough, a truck is a "she" by us. Doubly appropriate to me, "she" pulls "him" around to get the work done.

In LA when the prodominate population for Los Feliz was mexican it was pronounced the with the latin softness on Los "fell liz". When people refer to the neighborhood in the present gentrified context it is pronounced "Lose Feel us" . Language is fun!

This is not true. ق certainly doesn’t have a direct English equivalent, but ط is just a regular T sound.

Dumb and hilarious: President asking 7-year old about Santa, "marginal" quote, etc. Dumb and really annoying; Press looking for kid and further grilling her about Santa, her understanding of the word "marginal." How about report on what the president said and then leave the kid alone? Especially when a lot of press agencies encourage leaving Barron alone. Give this girl the same dignity you give Barron, at least.
