      I hate these types of videos that count down something and don't give you a list, expecting you to drag through the 10, 15, 30 minutes etc, to see the only parts you're interested in.
      Thank you very much!

      As someone who took French in college, I have trouble with entrepreneur, genre, and hors d'oeuvre. If I pronounce them according to the rules of the host language, people will look at me strangely. 😉

    Cuba is a Spanish word which is pronouncedC-oo-ba (Cuba). In English it’s C-you-ba like she said.
    So it’s not incorrect to pronounce it the Spanish way.

    @user-cp2bo3zm9s Před 28 dny +24

    1:38, let me explain. The word colonel came to English from Italian (colonelo), but pronunciation is actually taken from French word coronelle. So it's a hybrid, such a situation is typical of English. The most interesting thing, that later, French borrowed the word colonello from Italian, and stopped using their own word coronello.

      "Colonnello" in Italian.

    • @Endorphinn_
      @Endorphinn_ Před 7 dny

      What? No. In French, 'coronelle' is a species of snake, it has nothing to do with the army 😅. It's "Colonel": \kɔ.lɔ.nɛl\ (ko-lo-nèl)

    • @WasickiG
      @WasickiG Před dnem

      Actually, “colonnello” in Italian. This comes from Latin “columna”, a column or a military column in this case. In Portuguese the word for colonel is “coronel”, but a column is called a “coluna”.

  • @andrewsmith746
    @andrewsmith746 Před 12 dny +6

    I can tell you why "colonel" is pronounced "kernel". The word is French in origin, and is pronounced with a rolled first L. The English, and especially the Americans, hear an R.

    It's difficult for non native speakers to use the correct pronunciation. In India it even varies according to region. As a student of English literature and now a teacher, I struggle a lot. Such videos are quite helpful.

    I have an idea why colonel is spoken with an “R” and not with “L“ interesting in my native language (Brazilian Portuguese) we say “coronel” also meaning a senior military officer, and it’s not a random coincidence I searched the etymology of colonel: [Alteration of obsolete coronel, from French, from Old Italian colonello, from diminutive of colonna, column of soldiers, from Latin columna, column.
