    Ghastly! 16 Delightfully British Ways to Say 'Absolutely Awful' - The intrusive R - How do you say these Brand names?- A Small Mindset Shift: Replacing 'Sorry' with 'Thank You'
    Mar 27 2026

    Here's the list:

    1. Shein - this one I've been saying wrong. I've always pronounced it as 'sheen' whereas the correct pronunciation is 'she-in'

    2. Nutella - another one I've been saying wrong. Apparently its not 'nuh-tella' its 'NEW-tella'. I've been turning that U into the schwa.

    3. Aldi - I generally say it as 'ALL-DEE' not the 'Al-Dee' its mean't to be.

    4. Ikea - I used to say 'eye-key-uh' until the TV adverts came out with the pronunciation guide of 'Ee-kay-uh'

    5. Nike - The correct pronunciation is 'Ni-Key' not rhyming with bike. I'm pretty sure I use both.

    6. Adidas - Say it as "Add-dee-dass" not 'er-dee-dus'

    7. Porsche - A lot of people pronounce this as 'porsh'. , but its two syllables : Por-shuh

    8. Primark - Apparently some people say this as PREE-mark. But the way I've always heard it said (which is the correct way) is PRY-mark.

    9. Adobe - not 'A-dobe' but 'Uh-doe-bee'

    10. Hua Wei - correct pronunciation is WAH-WAY not 'her-wah way'

    A classic British film example of understatement.

    If you haven't watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail you're missing out.

    One scene that beautifully demonstrates understatement is the fight with the Black Knight. Here's the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmInkxbvlCs
