In Spanish the e's are pronounced the same way, and the same applies for German! It's only in English that the e's are all pronounced differently! English is such a weird language, I love it but it's things like this which are hilarious to me.

[–] MechaGrima@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Not if you're talking about the character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Then they're all just ɛ

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (3 children)

But only in English. In the original German, all three e's are actually the same.

Häh wie sprichst du das denn aus? Offensichtlich überhaupt nicht /mɛʁˈt͡seːdəs/ wie alle anderen? In Spanisch sind sie gleich, in Deutsch alle unterschiedlich, genau wie in Englisch.

Wenn du den spanischen Frauennamen meinst, dann sind das verschiedene Vokale, aber der Name der Automarke ist so voll eingedeutscht, der einzige Unterschied ist vielleicht noch, dass das mittlere e ein bisschen länger ist.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nein, andersrum wird ein Schuh draus.

Wenn du den Spanischen Frauennamen normal Spanisch aussprichst sind das drei ungerundete halbgeschlossene Vorderzungenvokale.

Wenn du die Deutsche Automarke normal Deutsch aussprichst ist es erst ein ungerundeter halboffener Vorderzungenvokal, dann ein ungerundeter halbgeschlossener Vorderzungenvokal und am Ende ein Schwa.

Wenn Du meinst. Für mich macht das keinen Unterschied.

The original is Spanish, and the Es are pronounced the same

So I've been saying it wrong all this time? Because the first and second sounded the same to me.

Not in French they aren't.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Same in Poland.

[–] JC1@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

In French they can be. In France, no because they don't have a large repertoire of sounds. But in Quebec, all 3 E sounds different.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Oiseaux.

Edit: the joke is that no vowel in oiseaux is pronounced the right way.

[–] StopJoiningWars@discuss.online 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Mec je parle de Mercedes. 🙄

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] StopJoiningWars@discuss.online 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Le meme parle de la prononciation des "e" dans le mot Mercedes, pas des consonnes.

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Perso je prononce chaque e différemment ?

[–] StopJoiningWars@discuss.online 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

C'est pas une énorme différence pour être honnête.

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 1 points 7 months ago

Pour moi oui, mère c'est d'aisse, pas meurceudeusse haha

Me as a kid, having just learned english, listening to Janis Joplin: "What the fuck is a mercy dispense!?"

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

When you pray for the lord to have mercy, they have to dispense it somehow. That part made sense to me as a kid.

However why would God have to buy one? And from whom? Who manufactures these mercy dispensers for God? Why wouldn't God just make them into existence?

When I learned that it was Mercedes Benz I came to understand that even God needs to abide by trademark law.

[–] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

If you add Benz you get a 4th E sound

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

Y'all ever notice that the way your mouth moves when you say Mercedes makes you smile.
