Did you know this? ๐ฎ For decades, car enthusiasts have debated how to say the iconic German brandโs name, but Porsche recently released a viral video to settle the argument once and for all.
Contrary to the widely used American pronunciation โPorsh,โ the company clarified that the correct way to say it is โPor-shuh,โ utilizing two distinct syllables.
This pronunciation adheres to German linguistic rules, where the letter โeโ at the end of a word is typically voiced as a soft โuhโ rather than being silent.
The name honors the companyโs founder, Ferdinand Porsche, necessitating that the proper noun retains its original German phonetics regardless of where the car is sold.
Now that the official record has been set, will you start using the authentic two-syllable pronunciation or stick to the single-syllable habit?
What are your thoughts? ๐ค๐ญ
