COMRADES, if I may ask, what was the cause of the inaccuracy?

Still not our fault.

I understand that incorrect pronunciation wouldnt sit well with owners of a particular name but they should try understand its almost natural for humans to pronounce words in their own accent

Some football fans would want u to pronounce Xavi as Javi and Villa as Viya but I'm neither spanish nor colonized by Spain.

Thanks OP for your teachings

Chaii... Wahala!

To hell...

Bee em vee as in German accent?

Even BMW staff would be shocked by this...

We know!!!

Yeah, just as Timo Werner is pronounced as Timo Verner I guess

This checks out.

I previously pronounced Volkswagen as Vaulks-Waging, lol.

Until my one-time peer in the Uni who specialized in German taught me that it's actually pronounced as Folks-Vahgen

My brother, no be our fault, na the fault of the British man they like manipulating (coinage) languages of the world to suit English pronunciation by all means

Same way Hyundai is not HIGH-ON-DIE but correctly pronounced HEE-UN-DAY

Also peogeot has a different spelling from pronunciation...

Whenever you want to have a good laugh, just relax and watch translation of Yoruba to English with "Google translate"

Bee em vee is German pronunciation.

1Alex:
Bee em vee is German pronunciation.

And the maker of the car is British, right?

Germans call V "w" but that is none of my business. That's why I never got a Volkswagen and went for a Mercedes

Hyundai is the most confused brand I tell you. I have heard 3 different types of pronunciation of the name from their commercials and I think they allow different names for different regions in the world. Check their adverts on YouTube

What of Beamer how is it pronounced in German

@op, it's still correct to pronounce it as B M DOUBLE U.

A loose translation is Bavarian Motor Works (company).

Thank you.

I dont even want to pronounce anything correctly....Oyinbo people don't care to know how to pronounce my name correctly..they just call it how it seems to them and they don't bother whether they got it right or wrong......and nobody heckles them for it....

So, I made up my mind to stop impressing them with my pronunciation skills...

It is not pronounced incorrectly. Did u just learn abt more than one language existing or phonological interference?!

Hmmm ... Be My Wife BMW

U are wrong ... its bee em double u... as a single letter its pronounced double u but as a word or name, it changes to vee

Russians = vee emm vee

BMW wey I dey see with my eyes na him you say the "W" na "V"?. Unless you tell me that if I want to pronounce the W in German accent I should pronounce it as V then I will accept. Currently am in Nigeria till I get to Germany.

After a study revealed that 95% of people globally pronounce it incorrectly but you're still trying to prove the researchers wrong

Same fccking sound

So who told them that's its wrong pronunciation when the company themselves call it Bee Em Double u

If u wanna hear real pronunciation of cars ...watch their adverts ... even German adverts call it Bee Em Double u
