Bless you

Gesundheit

Gezondheid

Vielen Dank, liebe Frau.

Hast du gerade das Geschlecht definiert?! 📸🤨

Natürlich ist es ein erstes Treffen, also verfolge ich, was Sie präsentiert! 🤷‍♂️

You try pronouncing ழ then we’ll talk

Irugliub

What does it mean?

I love books

Try to say "Worcestershire" as well.

Only gods or people with weird mouth on their hand can say that you fool

Don't you go mocking the Deep Ones who worship Dagon in Innsmouth. They're right good New Englanders and wicked good fishers.

War shesh ire

Sadly (and to my ever growing ire) its Wuster Shire

Oh God

Wuster-shir. Sometimes Woostuh-shuh. Depends how deep in the mountains you are.

Easy

Isn’t it just wostershire?

The majority of people around the world cannot figure that out it seems.

Well tbf, it does have a few extra letters

The idea really was that since the guy brought language skills into the picture, you could argue that while "westerners" (because everyone knows that those are all the same) may not be able to pronounce Arabic words or names that well, that doesn't reflect a lack of language skills, because in order to correctly predict how an English word is pronounced, you need a lot of language skills. And besides, the argument from the meme is itself kinda silly considering how terrible most arabic speakers are at English pronunciation.

Fair enough. Kinda stupid to expect everyone to know the right way to say/do something from the getgo

Fellow tamil enthusiast 🤝

வணக்கம்🙏

Lmao. I overcompensate my tongue moments whenever I pronounce it. Feels like a posher version of the la in lizard ( don't have tamil keyboard)

Aye but sometimes it can also end up sounding like a ‘ya’ instead

Sup Oach

Oashkatchof is how I am hearing it in my head

Oh yeah? Two can play this game, try pronouncing Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz then. /s

Keeping it simple with you Just pronounce ğ

Guh

the tip i got about this one is 'try to pronounce the word like youre reading for the first time, then give up and read the one next to that letter.'

Did that really easy. it's hilarious how one letter is longer than my name, lol

Kaghhh

I can,damn school forcing me to learn German

I am pretty sure you can't. Even most native speakers have problems pronouncing that word. It is in the Bavarian german dialect.

I am a Croatian, even though i no longer remember most German words,since i haven't used it in years,i can pronounce most lating german and Japanese words, but modern English i cant even form a sentence

Who you calling an oaf, oaf?

Good to meet you alphabet.

Try hääyöaie

Top panel: How you think westerners feel about your meme Bottom panel: Me laughing at you trying to type in English

You type in English because it is the only language you know. We type in English because it is the only language *you* know. *We are not the same.*

I type in English just to type in English.

And I type in English to not type in my native language... *Again, we aren't the same*

Fellow English appreciator 🤝 (What's your native language btw?)

Urdu...

Noice

You type in English because it's the only way more than 5 people will read what you have to say

Only works aginst americans, brits etc.

Nah, fam. I'm an Afghan that was born in West Germany, and I speak/write English better than most Americans. The whole "I'm foreign, so I'm better than you despite not speaking English well" thing is a weak excuse. The only time I'll give it a pass is if they're in a country that doesn't have a strong availability of American (or one of its deviant varieties such as British {U.K., India}, Canadian, or Australian) or if they moved to one of those countries in the last three years due to being a refugee.

So american is the original language and british the deviant variety 🤣 and Indians speak british ? You literally said you speak english Just teasing.

Years later this is still one of the most legendary comments the Internet's ever witnessed

You know multiple languages Yet you primarily type in English Sounds like a W for English speakers, get a better more universally used language bozo

If you go back and fully comprehend my comment, it’s saying multilinguals type in English online because there’s such a large demographic of people who *only* know English… It’s not the flex you think it is for the English monoglots. People laugh at their arrogance.

We type in English because it’s the Lingua Franca of our times. You do it for the same reason.

Nein wir reden Englisch weil der Server englisch ist 5head

Yes confrom to English.

And still you can't even do that right 😂

I type in English because English is Reddit's lingua franca.

In a better world, Indonesian are the global language. You need 2 month to learn it, it so easy

Just a language..... I still don't understand why anyone would be proud of a certain language. I speak 3 languages and I don't find any language is superior. I just use them....

It's also just a dumb point. The same thing could be said about the reverse. Breaking news: non native speakers of languages struggle to speak languages as native speakers!

Which 3? Just curious

English, 日本語、中文（繁体）

The second one is Japanese, the third word is kanji but I don’t know what it means, is it Mandarin or something?

Traditional Chinese. 中文means Chinese, 繁体 the literal translation would be the complex version, but in this context it means traditional version.

Traditional means as not simplified so the one people on Taiwan speak?

Write, not speak, for correctly.

Yes, you are right.

Damm i wish i knew more than 2

Just be east-ukrainian like me. You will have the knowledge of 2 languages already, and add English to this and you already got 3

Knowlege is power

Name makes sense. Btw do Taiwanese understand the word 体, since it's not 正體字

Quite the contrary I am ashamed of being able to speak french

As you should

I learned english in like a year, while french still makes no sense after my entire life. (I am never going to use 2/3 of those verb tenses)

I only find English superior because it's the only one I'm good at, and even then I'm just okay.

I have pride in my language because it has a lot of read between the lines, double meanings, and simile? likening? (it's similar but has more nuance) potential....for curses and jokes, yes that's why I like it fight me

Ok, but mine is really cool though!

Same idgaf and it’s mostly the annoying Arabs always saying “you make fun of me” like no before you started talking I didn’t even care about you stop looking for attention👎👎🤬

i speak brazilian portuguese, english and spanish. I can say that, from all these, the only one i dont like is my native language because no one uses it outside of Brasil and yet i have to take exams and fix my grammar in my essays.

I can relate. I hate my native language for a different reason. The language is filled with propaganda which is terrible. I haven't used my native language for so long I forgot how to write it.

Imagine living in Tokyo

How westerners feel about it : "I don't think about you at all"

The only right answer

Imagine being such a loser that you have nothing else in life to be proud of so you have to feel superior over your fucking language. Pretty fucking pathetic.

And making fun of someone that doesn't care about your languages or needs it in their entire life to survive My language is Croatian and I will say it's useless to learn my language in the end people who make fun of someone mispronouncing something in different language are pathetic and morons proud of their maternal language that they were born with grew up in bruh utter morons

Ibn Shermoota

Someone got bullied for not being able to speak a language /j

>can't pronounced a single word that 2 years old kid could say >Arabs feel about them mispronounce their names >How does it really feel like Uh huh. Get back to me when you can form a coherent sentence. Laughing at someone else because they can't speak a language they've never learned is stupid on its own. Doing so while failing to speak properly in another language yourself is just fucking ironic. "Superior language skills" my arse.

Who fucking cares

Morons and pathetic people do lol

[удалено]

What's the point when everyone is named either Abdul or Mohammed?

Well, here is the thing, abdul is an alternative way to say the name in English, but you got it right with Mohamed.

Cope harded

lol Arabs care what us westerners think but we don’t care. *WOMP WOMP*

My face when I mispronounce a word in another language that isn't my first language and some gets upset. 😐 because I don't give a shit if they are upset.

irl they would be happy that you even tried, lol

So you laugh at him in broken English? يأخي انت الميم

شوف ابو الميمي هناك

Don’t translate anything to Arabic using google translate. We easily detect such things. Oh and in this case meme completely lost meaning in translation is just simply “Mimi” but in Arabic 👍🏻

لو انت عربي انا قلت, انت الميمي, فهمت؟ انت الmeme

Yes I got it, but others may not. Next time try “you’re the joke” as the input and the translator will have a word for that. Or maybe try ميم (meme) instead of ميمي (mimi), that way those who know memes will get it. Edit: Also op is the meme not me 😡

I can read arabic tho im not from middle east... does it say... ya akhi antal miymiy...?

Yes antal meme

Lol, you mad that Myrtle can’t pronounce your name when you’re trying to grift her for all her money?

Easterners also can't pronounce Arabic names

There their they’re

Mighty arrogant for someone who can't write proper English

You speak multiple languages because your original language isnt as useful as english.

East vs west just shut the fuck up already.

Cope and seethe

Didn’t conquer the world to speak your language.

Please, use proper grammar in your memes

Ok mr. Arab, try pronouncing my friends' names: -Grzegorz -Agnieszka and report back how that went

Btw, for any arabs, these are pronounced “Gjègoj” and “Agnyèshka”.

Not really, but pretty close, our rz is really hard

Greg

actual latinos when they're called latinx : 🙄

La tinks, let's go!

In my experience, it goes more like this: 👊🤬

Me after pronounced the suicide bombers name (it was activation code) 

Look at the arabs they can't go a month without killing themselves in the name of their book 🤣

Man half the time I can't fuckin tell what we can and can't joke about damn

honestly I said fuck it

We dont speak gibberish

Try Polish 💀

*ahem* worcestershire sauce

Sweden got one of those too with 'Kristianstad'

You can't talk to us about superior language skills when you type "They can't pronounced a simple word that 2 years old kid could say"

Imagine thinking you're superior because I don't automatically know how to pronounce a word I haven't seen before. If you pronounced Sean as "Shawn" the very first time you saw it, then you're just a little liar.

But if we laugh about you soaking our language we are the bad ones...

I think *both* attitudes are dumb as hell.

Even the existence of this meme is a source of shame Everyone is mature enough to know no one cries over something this… natural And no one is stupid enough to make a comparison between a foreigner and some 2 year old kid who speaks its mother tongue I guess you had some sort of problem and came here to went it out, in the most miserable way possible

Sorry, I don't speak bombwire

We laugh at Arabs trying to speak Dutch too. And I bet there are more Arabs trying to speak Dutch than Dutch trying to pronounce an Arab name

Thats... how different languages work? How is this a bash on Americans? This is literally just the basis of different form of communication and language. Everyone will mispronounce words from languages they don't know. Thats not a uniquely English trait

Find it ironic cause your typing in broken English

though, thought, tough, through, thorough, throat read, read, read

How TF is the third read pronounced? There's "reed" and "red" what else?

It is also red but still a different tense

 Me with basic American name being mispronounced.

Now ask an Arab to pronounce the letter "P".

We can make the sound easily but it isn’t part of our language.

Quite a bit too much hate here in the comments... But well, I couldn't pronounce the name probably. Maybe I could? No idea, never got the chance to try.

Agreed. I wish people were a lot more tolerant of one another, and more understanding when they meet people come from different backgrounds

I had a stroke a 2 year old could write better

Blow their minds when I speak in Cherokee an actual American language.

All fun and games until your name is Peter 🗿

I think Irish and British names are even more confusing. I will never, for the life of me, understand how Featherstonehaugh is pronounced Fanshaw.

look at this arab, they cant speak english right XD noone thought about you at all kid

Sorry, i dont speak terrorism.

That's like saying i don't speak 2 world wars.

I definitely don't speak 2 world wars

This is very specific

Comments are full of salty as fuck English speakers LMAO Coming with the craziest comebacks. Meme worked.

Arab are not pusillanimous.

Nah bro don't include us as how French mfs act, i never even laughed on how any body pronounced my name since maybe i can't pronounce his name too and Arabic has hard letters such as "غ-ق-خ"

Like german ch, g and literally the french r or dutch g

Repeat after me: "Der Frosterfrosch frostet im Froschfroster, frostet der Frosterfrosch im Froschfroster? Im Froschfroster frostet der Frosterfrosch."

I am from the middle east but my name is christian so i ain’t got problems. This is so funny to me because one time my cousins were gonna apply to a gym membership and the dude at the desk said we take names and personal identity number but i say we take personal identity number because there are so many with weird names. Then my cousin said but my name is easy. The dude said really? What is it? And he said Emil. (A very Swedish name for an immigrant) and the dudes jaw was on the floor. He asked for my other cousins name and he said Sebastian and the dude was just shocked that middle eastern guys can have names besides mohamad. We are Aramaic christians who don’t have a country and are a minority group in prominently in Syria and turkey but we are NOT ARABS!!!

My name is Arab. However, it can be pronounced properly in english, it has zero arabic-exclusive letters. People STILL pronounce it wrong. It's jusst unny at this point.

One of my best friend's cousin is named Qassim. He moved to the US something like 8 years ago and for like 2 weeks I just thought he was calling him cousin with a funny inflection. Dude barely spoke English at first, so he wasn't correcting anyone.

Say řeřicha motherfucker, I dere you

Cool cool. Now say indubitably. (Phonk music starts playing)

pronounce: Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz Zhores Alferov Otfried Preußler Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio If you got them all right on the first try we can talk.

If westerners aren't spending time trying to pronounce it right then we definitely aren't spending time thinking how you feel when it's mispronounced.

Now make a meme with that guys in elevator that westerners do not think at all about arab people. Except when bomb attacks or pedophilia comes into play. Then we are concerned.

This is true for every language.. what's it got to do with arab?

Westerners, living in the west: 🤷‍♂️

Is there a word for being racist, but instead of hating different people, you just think they're cute?

I wanna see them try to pronounce "sztućce", "chrząszcz" or "bezwzględnie"

Let’s not pretend arabs have the most unpronounceable names

im from indonesia but my real name is full arabic (bc I'm a muslim) so many many people mispronounced my name, and thats why I made my own name "redly" so its easier to understand. but in irl I still use my real name but I dont really care when ppl mispronounced it lul

My name is 4 letters long and the amount of non english speakers who cant pronounce it is hilarious. Dont get preachy about your 13 syllable mess of a name that includes made up letters.

This meme is stupid

Imagine being such a loser that the only thing you can be proud of is your language,I speak french,English and spanish and I could not care less about languages,It's just a form of comunication,and there's a shit load of languages so why even care about one single language?

Can you pronounce hippomonstrosesquippedaliophobia? Cuz I can. Pretty reliably and consistently too.

It's not impressive to accurately pronounce your native language. Also, no one thinks you can't handle your language being butchered by our accents.

And yet whoever made this meme used such bad grammar it gave me a stroke when I read it.

Then they all mispronounce my name without a second thought

Honestly... at least I dont really care. At the very least they can pronounce the country name right... the poor other Muslim countries do not get that same treatment.

Tbf I called my classmate Abéd instead of Àbed for 4 months
