My friend is called Saoirse, and she told me someone once called her Seahorse...
Lmfaooooo
Raven the Collie i call her soreyes coz blue eyes!
hahahahahahahaha
So the correct ways is Shorsha?
@@ziomalisty it can be either, she goes by see-rsha but it's really up to you ( also a friend of mine calls her Cheerios lol )
She must be SO SICK of talking about her name.
@@KunigasSuvirintojas Jeah, only thing is..., she didn't exactly got to chose her name now... did she?
@Fruit Punch Samurai
Its a joke, not a cock. Don't take it so hard.
@@KunigasSuvirintojas lol, THAT's what you call a joke? You must be a comedian then... with empty seats at shows🤣😅
@@KunigasSuvirintojas lol you're soooooooo funny omg lmao lmas f f ah f do if Xi
guys chill the fuck out leave mantas alone just chill
“Manganiello” and “Ventimiglia” are italian surnames and as an Italian person I can totally promise you that those are not the correct ways to pronunce them 😂
But they're both American so that's funny
so how is it pronounced?
@@salamandastron90 lad, put them both in an English-Italian translator and press the voice button.
That's actually genius...thanks!
@@salamandastron90 hehe lmao no worries mate.
"Tea is my favorite thing. Imagine being called tea, that would be brilliant" has to be the most British sentence ever spoken by an Irish person
Tea is a huge part of irish culture as much as the english so it kinda makes sense
@@christinefitz77 And why is that? Because of English colonialism.
@@duhusker4383 Tea was introduced all over Europe around the same time, why is it specifically "English colonialism" when it comes to Ireland? You think the English forced them to like tea?
@@like2surf Because tea was introduced to England by Portugal. Catarina de Bragança (or if you prefer her English name Catherine of Braganza) introduced tea during her wedding and it became a drink of choice in the English court. When she became Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland, tea spread to Ireland (as Scotland) as consequence of being a colony of England.
@Peacelily Lol, yeah because Scotland wasn't also colonised by England.
Her eyes are bluer than the sky.
Andy Zaturno you have more subs than this channel 😅
@Lucas McCain what
Have you seen Asa Butterfield’s eyes?
@@amnervik2614 too bad he's not women 😁
I mean, surely this is color corrected. But yeah they're striking asf
"it's NIKOLAJ"
- Charles Boyle
My thoughts exactly!
Even though he was also wrong.
This is the comment I did not know I wanted to see.
@@thetravelgeek4154 sorry, I know how much he means to you
hahahahhahaha 🤣🤣🤣 no bruh , its Nikolaj
Those eyes are so enchanting that it looks like a glowing of crystal-clear cerulean water when a burst of gracious sunshine just kissed the deep blue sea.
The Bluest Eye...fascist conquistador!
In college, my roommate was called Eilidh (AY-lee). We had our names on the door, and I lost count of the number of times someone knocked on the door and said “Is your name really eye-lid?”
Lmao 😂
Honestly, what do people with names like that expect? They should sue their parents, not blame the public for getting it wrong.
@@allmigthygoddess939 it's a really common name in ireland
I feel so sorry for Saoirse. Everytime she goes to America, the shtick is always "your name is weird lol, so we're going to base every interview on just that". So boring.
Right?! And like 2/3 of videos of her on YT is about her name.
lol seriously
yeah they gotta stop with that
She was born in the Bronx and lives in NYC.....shes one of us lol.
I was born and raised in the middle east, doesn't mean i'm Arabic. Fool.
As a European it hurts how they pronounce the 'kov'and 'cos'parts. Saoirse pronounced it correctly.
Nasti well bc she is an European
Right?! That's not how you pronounce Polish names at all. Even the Italian ones were wrong. But some of the people might be pronouncing their own names wrong which is just a really painful thought.
Yes! It's just kov, not kove
Yes Why do they correct her, the American version is way more wrong!! She nailed it
I had someone at work whose name was Niamh. Not all uncommon, said like Neeve (just incase you don't know). As part of my job I have to confirm names. What does she say?
NEEMAH. Like you think I'm super stupid or you don't know how to say you're own name.
I like how she demanded a point she didn’t even ask “You give me that one” 😂 I like her
As if they corrected her pronunciation of "Coster" when hers was correct and theirs was americanised to "coaster"
0:56 - I believe it's pronounced, "Jaime Fookin' Lannister"
There you are, Captain 👍
Is it me or is due lipa currently copying her hairdo here
Oh i think its "kingslayer"
@@bloopdaddy its a hair do, not homework. Give over.
@@alicenightray5901 the incester
She actually pronounces the names way better then the girl that’s correcting her!
Wat
@@monsieur_onion She does. How americans pronounce Coster-Waldau is absolutely wrong ( and thats just an example ). The Waldau souns like Woldow if they say it. Coster is like Costner just without the N, everyone can pronounce that, but the Waldau is said in a norse tune. I dont know how to explain just with words, but the A and AU are spoken more like "Like a Boss" in the song Like a Boss from Lonely Island / Seth Rogan.
Elvira Formiconi I thought the same is because she’s European I was like that’s not the correct way American girl.
Elvira Formiconi right ?? I’ve been watching dancing with the stars for ages and that’s not how you pronounce Chmerkovsky 🤦🏼♀️
I agree, like... Ventimiglia was spot on
I appreciate the struggles and frustrations she has gone through her whole life with people mis-pronouncing her name.
My last name is simple, but has been mis-pronounced my whole life.
Watching this, I hope she (and others out there) can appreciate, there are lots of other people who also have difficult to pronounce names.
My real first name and last name (not what you see here, this is my first pet and first grade teacher's names, haha) are very difficult. Whenever we'd have a substitute teacher reading off names...depending on my mood, I'd either just raise my hand as their brow furrowed or let them struggle a bit with all the consonants in it. haha
Both my names are fairly simple - Ian Cooper - but somehow people often mangle either the pronunciation or the spelling. I've seen it spelled "Eean Copper" and I've heard my first name pronounced "Eye-on" - most famously by the priest who officiated at my wedding. My wife likes to joke that we aren't married because she married someone called "Eye-on".
I love how she's like no big deal on intricate Eastern Europe names, but she just can't with italians XD Much love from lake Como Saoirse
"Tea's my favorite thing. Imagine being called Tea."
No wonder she's friends with Timothée "Sweet Tea" Chalamet.
I’m Chinese and we call him sweet tea because sweet in mandarin pronounced as tian and tea as cha, close to short form of his name quite make senses isn’t it
Thimothee doesn't mean sweet tea
@@mari08567 she's saying how its pronunciation in mandarin is similar to sweet tea
Tea tea
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is not pronounced as ‘coaster’ 😂 Saoirse was pretty spot on, actually.
Yeah, I thought that was weird...
Yes, she said it pretty correctly
Yup, its like the "cost" just with an er and the end, and waldau is pronounced with an A and AU ( norse / germanic tune ) rather than Woldow. Listen to "Like a Boss" from Lonely Island, how they say Boss in there is the way to go
American's use the long o all the time for some reason
@Monk of the Poon Uh no we don't? I've never heard anyone pronounce some of those names the way the corrections were done in this video, and "long o all the time" bruh where?? Maybe in Toronto.
Also man, the irony all over the comments in this video of people being like "durrhurr Americans" when they're all spelling things wrong ("American's"?)
"Imagine being called tea! That'd be brilliant!"
Look at the blue in the eyes of this beautiful and talented actress. Simply breathtaking.
Benadick Cucumber Patch
This is what I have been calling him for the past 5 years, except for the Benedict part lol

Those eyes.

Those ocean eyes 😂 *queue Billie eilish*
You beat me to my two-word post.
As a person named Thea, I'm proud when people call me tea.
When she smiles, everything is ok :)
The 'correct' pronunciation of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau wasn't even correct lol. Saoirse got it more right than the woman behind the camera.
ı yeeees. Thank you!!! Not that she nailed it at all. But at least she didn’t call him Coaster.
I thought the video was about pronouncing names CORRECTLY and not the American way.
They corrected her even when she was spot-on. Also, she got Gadot wrong and they corrected it as „Ga-dote“, it‘s pronounced the way it‘s spelled: GadoT.
Many actors have to change their names because of English. For example, Zoë Saldana, whose real family name is Saldaña, she had to use "n" instead "ñ" because it is not easy for English native speakers to say a word with that letter.
@@adan_ar She shouldn't have to do that just to accommodate sucky, lazy Americans who don't want to learn how to say it. It's super easy. I say this as an American myself but half White, half Mexican. Even if I wasn't Mexican or Hispanic for that matter, all you have to do with the ñ is pronounce it like "ni" followed by whatever vowel follows it.
@@RadioActiveKissRebel actually it is not like "ni". It is like "gn" in "lasagna" and "nh" in "Ronaldinho"
@@adan_ar Thanks for your correction 😊
Being italian, it's amazing how americans can transform Manganiello in Manganello and Ventimiglia in Ventimilia and think it's correct.
I love Saoirse Ronan! She is a fantastic actress and seems like a fun girl.
Love that two of the Gilmore Boys are on here
Lol as an actual danish guy I can say that Saoirse pronounced Nikolaj Coster-Waldau way better than the woman behind the camera
Jesus, your last name is wind? Cool.
@@old.tables1989 Jesus ur first name is notorious? Very cool.
@@paddy801 why thank you.
your name is actually pretty cool
I bet my bottom dollar your last name is pronounced "VIN-T", if it's actually your last name
"HER NAME IS TEA. I JUST REALISED"
Her reaction for the first mistake was priceless!😂😂😂👏🏻😭♥️
You have no idea how happy it makes me that they included Maks as a celebrity!!!!!!! I LOVE DWTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
the italian names😭 as an italian person not even the woman in the back pronounced them correctly
@The Player I'd say the way you spelled it is as close as you can get to explain it to a foreigner in written form haha
It's a very unique sound, it sounds like a really "flattened out" L sound with your tongue touching the upper palate.
in realtà lo ha pronunciato abbastanza bene "Ventimiglia"... se non altro meglio della tizia dietro la telecamera..
in reality he pronounced mostly well "Ventimiglia" ...if nothing else, better than the girl behind the camera ..
I hope this comparison helps you to learn some Italian words ... by the way, verti miglia means twenty miles .
@@idek7438 I'm Greek (my first language) and that is also how I would pronounce an "L". I think English speakers pronounce an "L" with the tongue behind the lower teeth.The same applies for the letter "T" .
@@proges oh god i speak italian and never realized that's what it means 😂😂😂😂
@@maroulio2067 actually L is an alveolar, T is a dental.
Probably the classiest young celebrity alive at the moment.
@@knae2354 zendaya no....
dont do my girls thomasin mckenzie kristen stewart chloe grace moretz and margaret qualley like that
@@finnslibrary2189 They're all beautiful young and talented actresses.
Yeah. To ignore those ridiculous, wrong and horrible 'corrections" they made, when she told the actors and actresses names without losing her temper, she surely is.
@@dominavor1427 Maybe she should just travel with business cards that have her spelled out phonetically would save her a lot of explaining.
0:37
Her "ding ding ding" is adorable. Love her!
For me it was this 1:20.
1:24 Maksim .. CHEEVO?? ЧЕГО ?? - ahaha D
Funny thing here is that the current american pronuntiation of most of these names is still wrong. I can tell this for italian names: Manganiello and Ventimiglia aren't supposed to be pronounced like the person off-screen does.
Having studied Latin, then Castilian Spanish, it gets easier to pronounce Western European names, and yes, I am from the US. IMHO Americans are too ignorant of the rest of the world. Serving on subs in the Navy allowed us to see a lot of countries, meet a lot of people, this was all before real smartphones. The look on a European's face when someone attempts to communicate in their language is so humbling, because they are mostly so grateful, except the French, lol! I've all studied Greek and Hebrew so Crete and Israel were a lot of fun.
Irish names, by far, are the hardest, as they do not follow any "English" language rules. Ireland truly has their own dialect/vernacular. I love the nuances to the rhythm of the Irish spoken language. It is just beautiful.
@@bobastu I didn't mean to say that americans are ignorant though! In fact, your cool story proves otherwise ;)
@@Deu_terio Well to be fair, that could just be how they pronounce it. People can pronounce their own names wrong. Saoirse herself says she pronounces her name ser-sha, but most people in Ireland actually pronouncer it as soar-sha.
@@smward87 it also depends a lot on culture. My name is Hantz. Like en"hance", similar to Chance. But if I went to Germany it's gonna be HAWns or HAWntz. The British accent will also sound like HAWnts, similar to CHAWnce. There's long and short vowels in every culture and names/words can very easily be pronounced differently.
As far as names go, the parent can spell and say the name however they want.
Kimaya = Kim-MY-uh or Kim-MAY-uh.
They usually pronounce latin names wrong too and it is super funy xdd
She has a fun personality 👍
Saoirse Ronan is a good actress
Alain Bruno YOU ARE EVERYWHERE
Alain Bruno really?
Happy Hufflepuff ikr! Everywhere!!!
700th like ✌️
My favourite colour is blue, this lady's eyes have taken that to a whole other level
Saoirse is a truly delightful human being
shes amazing. she was brilliant in I could never be your woman at such a young age. i fell in love with her after watching atonement and the lovely bones
It is amazing to see how young she was in Atonement! And look at her now! Still talented as ever 😍
Her character in Atonement made me actually hate her for a while lol But I do love her now.
Kate Ashley And for me, it was when I saw her in "Brooklyn." Just love her.
Sara Bee And that's why she's a great actress! She played the part so well, you hated her (the role she was playing)
Kathleen5429 exactly! hahaha
I love how she’s actually taking note of the ones she got wrong 😚😚😚 and learning the proper pronunciation
Except the people correcting her were mostly wrong! 😂
Her "What?!" was so cute when she saw Maksim Chmerkovskiy's. name.
I guess that's why the sky's so gray... all the blue is in her eyes.
Francis Quezada Great line! Perfect for her.
that was poetic af
say that to her and ur golden👍
NAZI eyes, Faboooo
She pronounced Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's name totally correct. He is not called "Coaster"...
No she really didn’t. The first vowel sound in Coster was the only thing she got right. And of course. Even worse was the interviewer behind the camera claiming it to be Coaster. Haha. Even worse.
He might not be one but I am sure many people still would like to take a ride
She pronounced Nikolaj And Coster VERY well, only Waldau were a bit of. And i'm from Denmark AND my name is Nikolai, so I would know.
Both Nikolai and Coster was pretty good
I love her she's so adorable ❤️💙
I'm watching this just to listen to that amazing accent.
She is giving me Kate Winslet vibes, like, a lot.
czcams.com/video/NzyN5kcbusY/video.html A gift from me to you.
Daniel Feeley They really could be old and young version of each other, don't they? Absolutely love that interview
Indra Vargas How?
Daniel Feeley knew you were gonna cite this one here. Love them both
Since when has Kate Winslet an irish accent?
i've loved saoirse since the lovely bones! i'm so glad to see her rocking new roles, it's fantastic!
sarah wait shes in the lovely bones?? who is she playing??
... the main character
Since ember town i guess...
Word
I loved her since I will never be your woman so suck in that u normie
i deadass thought she uses softlens, its too beautifully blue
She is my absolute favorite. I could listen to her talk all day. I didn't realize how much I love the Irish accent until she started talking! And those eyes.... beautiful.
SHES LITERALLY SO BEAUTIFUL I DONT UNDERSTAND
😍😍😍😍
The name “Saoirse” just looks so nice physically. Almost aesthetically pleasing in way. Same thing goes for the name “Sinead”☺️
@Peacelily yesssss
kinda like Siobhan from Bananarama
@@yellofury yes!
I think the opposite. The Irish spelling of Irish names is painful to the non Irish eye. Sean - I mean, really? lol
When you are born with perfection = Saoirse Ronan
Get a fucking life
0:02 when u try to speak while laughing
They pronounced Costerwaldau wrong...

I remember Nicolaj himself explained in an interview that he pronounced it differently than the original danish version so americans would understand lol
Her eyes are so blue is she okay
biclexual yes, why wouldn't she?
She still has that alien inside her
She is Irish.
its called being Irish
She's a white walker
She is so so beautiful with blue eyes
the "imagine being called tea" always gets me lmao
@ 1:13 😁😂 I love how she always express her favorite thing 🍵
1:24
she said ”what?", which sounded like "чего", which is also "what" in Russian, which is pronounced like cheewoh/chivo/whatever
very natural, I thought I misheard it, but it's real, so sweet :)
Господи я подумала у меня глюки
Мне послышалось "чмо"😂😂

she's sooo beautiful
1:25 "ЧИВО?!" Drop of russian from Saoirse :D
I love how two of Rory’s boyfriends are in this.
Hah! I didn't even realize
Honestly Jared should've been here too, I can't pronounce his last name smh
Island Rebel Makeup ikr and they pronounced Jess Mariano wrong
I was looking for this comment haha
Rory?
Saoirse is absolutely beautiful AND her accent is so cute. I love her accent.
Saoirse means Freedom in Irish :)
Her eyes are the lovliest shade of blue ❤❤❤
The Bluest Eye...fascist conquistador!
Her eyes are incandescently beautiful
Being a Dane I just have to say that her pronunciation of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is spot on, whereas the one behind the camera is wrong.
Isn't Waldau pronounced with V instead of W (at least in Denmark)? I have heard it pronounced like that several times.
@@madeoson yes, it is, thank you. Everyone is debating how to say Coster while nobody stops to think its Waldau they're saying wrong. I saw some Nikolaj interview in which he said it's pronounced with V but when he's in America he doesn't correct people and simply spells its with W because it's easier for Americans.
Her: My name is Saoirse Ronan
Me: Great. Sheer-shay. Now I got it.
Her: Most people don't know how to pronounce my name. They say Sheershay.
Me: ...
Sir-shuh. It's really not that difficult to pronounce once you get the hang of it.
Lindsey Corliss it’s more like Seer-sheh. Saoirse actually pronounces her own name wrong for some reason.
Saoirse Lee Some names are pronounced slightly differently in different parts of Ireland.
@@laraghkeane5224 no that's not why
if you want to know how to pronounce Saoirse Ronan, all you need to know is how to sear a steak :D SeerShah
She looks like an angel, not like a human.
Her eyes are gorgeous! Her hair is framed so well! The fit on her is very business and she is just glowing in this video
If you haven’t seen her in Brooklyn, go watch it.
Eugene Grewing also Lady Bird!
Eugene Grewing She's amazing in it. And the movie itself is lovely
I've seen her in everything! Lol She is the best in Hanna...
That's a beautiful film indeed
One of my favorite movies
Her face when she got Gal's name wrong haha.
"The people that work with her say Gal Gah-DOH, so they're all wrong." she couldn't be more right. Also, whoever correct Saoirse is wrong again. Its Gal Ga-DOT (with a soft t) not Gal Ga-DOTE. Christ..
everyone thought it was ga-doe. i personally thought it was ga-dot. but actually is a hybrid. ga-doete. she said it herself 100 times now.
It all comes down to your own personal accent I believe. The American press for years kept calling her Gal Gah-DOH even when she politely corrected them. Especially during the press junkets/tour for Wonder Woman the interviewers nearly always pronounced it that way (Gah-DOH), including Chris Pine of all people. Gal's Israeli accent I believe throws people off too slightly when she herself says her name. It does at times sound like she's saying Ga-DOETE as you've said but she's pretty much made it crystal clear it's Ga-DOT "with a soft t at the end" as she said in a recent interview.
Nope it is pronounced gal ga-dote, check out her glamour interview
I think we're all going hear and pronounce her name differently just by the various different ways we hear its pronounced on a daily basis. I'm just going by what i've personally heard her say with regards to hows its pronounced. I hear "Ga-DOT" and if others hear differently well so be it.
czcams.com/video/nuypn381JtQ/video.html
czcams.com/video/f3b1gM82uug/video.html
I never ever heard someone say her name as Gal Gah-DOH. Where the hell T goes at the end?
Her pronunciation of Coster-Waldau was way closer than the way they corrected her. Damn, that hurt my Danish heart. haha
Im just staring at her clear blue eyes like wow skskskskssksm
Gosh, her eyes are beautiful!
czcams.com/video/b9FunEkhTNo/video.html
Even the people in the back didn’t pronounce Nikolaj coster-waldau right
nat Yeah. That was kind of stupid. She didn’t do it correctly, and they certainly didn’t either. Haha
It's Nikolaj
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!
This girl is so talented and cute...
Saoirse Ronan is an amazing actress. You should check out any of her movies and you'll be blown away by her acting and chameleon like roles and accents.
But surely not that awful alien move. Let's pretend she never done it.
"If I had a nickel for everytime someone acknowledges by surname, I'd be rich"
This is how she got rich.

Queen
She's lovely and fucking talented, it's crazy to have 3 well deserved Oscar nominations at 23
1:05 VOLDY!!! 😱😱😂
Gadot is from french origin. The T could very well be silent, but you's have to ask Gal herself, sometimes the same family names have different pronounciations due to time and region between different branches of that same family name.
I love Saoirse Ronan she’s so pretty and kind and I love her accent
and soo good atctres
she seems so lovely! ♥
That’s was humbling … people with names that are difficult to pronounce often act like other people are ignorant for not saying their name right .
I like her feirceness. 'Oh, well, you'll give me that one.'
I adore Saoirse Ronan!! She is fantastic in Brooklyn.. I've seen it about 50 times since it was released.
Actually they pronounced Manganiello and Ventimiglia wrong even when they corrected her...
Vero
Yep, you're right. They can't pronounce the sound -gn for Ventimiglia and the -i for Manganiello, what's wrong with them? 😂
Yeap, they seem like Italian names but they don't pronounce the 'nie' and they add that 'oh' sound at the end.
@@jenniferaguilera2087 if I take a lesson of italian grammar they won't get names wrong anymore 😂
Joe Mangojello.
OMG her eyes are so beautiful!
The Bluest Eye...fascist conquistador!
Gal Pronounces her name exactly the way Soirse said it. And so does Nikolaj
Half of the Gilmore Girls cast is there LOL
TheStepmonkey which ones are they? I can't tell oops..
More like half of Rory's boyfriends are there xD
1:45 She got that completely wrong, it’s pronounced ‘Jess Mariano’
Darth Batman Also true, but Jess will alway have a special place in my heart 👨🏻❤️
u forgot logan huntzberger!
Her accent I could listen to all year
she's so stunning dudeee
I fall in love with her every time i see her.
