I relate with this on a spiritual level, nobody can fucking pronounce my last name

kek

But that's more about how the hell you write it.

<:KEK:465443054254424065>

The real question is: How do you say it syllable-by-syllable?

"Br-ze-cy-zs-csz-...."

learning polish in a year because going there

because family

hm

No one can pronounce my middle name

Kacheni

learn a months worth of polish and go it over with polish relatives and you pronounce half the shit wrong

When you're trying hard

Not even a pole I bet

It’s too Serbian

Me.... Well, people manage alright, I guess.

@Le Frenchman is your last name fromage de poutine?

It's writting it that they oftebn get it wrong, forgetting their writting rules

@Deleted User No, it's a Catalan family name

I've had two people in my entire life get the name right the first time

Two

And im not even sure on the second one.

Most people on my family can probounce it but that’s cause it’s my great grandpas name

So they’ve just nailed it by hearing it said

Most people dont even try, and they either get it wrong, andor ask for pronunciation, and get it wrong the first 2 or 3 times

Ive had people ask me

Is it french?

Is it German?

LOL

Is it Swedish?

Is it Russian?

Someone thought it was gaelic

kek

Some teachers would make an adaptation (Like instead of calling someone Kochran, they'd call them Coffee or Rasberry instead of Rajeesh) and the nickname pronunciation of my last name became the name i was known as

Cause it was infamous for confusing teachers and them getting it wrong most of the semester even though they kept trying.

wow. That's pretty pathetic
