Hey hi hello I have a QUESTION (please don't google the answer before you vote)
Based on a video I just saw where someone pronounced it uhhhh wrong
(Read all the options to make sure you choose correctly)
To clarify, I understand not knowing how to pronounce foreign place names. That's a problem every person on earth has at one point or another.
In this case, the utter shock that tossed me out of my viewing experience was that this is a professional who lives in Europe and was doing a section of the video on this city. I would expect someone in that position to look up the pronunciation for the video, and I would also... not be surprised if this is the default pronunciation among anglophone speakers, even though it's Wrong.
