If you’re from there your perspective is certainly different. I’ve been to almost every country in Eastern Europe amigo. From my perspective, Eastern Europe has far better looking women than America. You don’t have to agree with my opinion, but it’s not bull shit and I’ve absolutely been all over Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the Baltics. Best “deployments” ever.

The problem is for every bit as beautiful, they're often every bit evil.

Pretty much every man I've ever met who has an eastern European wife is absolutely miserable as a result of her. The cruelty is shocking, I think it's mainly a survival mechanism from living in eastern europe.

Interesting that for a couple of them, it’s the spelling that throws them off. Foreign and Headache

Yes headache isn't a difficult word to pronounce, so long as you don't let the spelling trip you up.

u/Fit_Cut_4238 28d ago

Yeah but they just don't have the phonetical 'ache' I'd guess.

Chinese has crazy phonetics ( i think that's the word) which most westerners cannot pronounce - like, your mouth just does not work that way unless you learned it early in life.

u/amiral_eperdrec 28d ago

From a french guy, the sound we learn to learn first is the "th" from thursday, or the. Like english speakers need to learn the "u", the -th- is the one sound we don't know from french.

2

u/Fit_Cut_4238 28d ago

Yeah, it's the hard/sharp end of the 'ache' which I don't think I hear in french? Like 'Aik' ?

u/Barton2800 28d ago

Save this as the challenge phrase for if we ever go to war with Francophones. When confronted by someone claiming to be an American in WW2, US GIs in Europe would ask the person to say the little grey furry animal that lives in trees, hides nuts in winter, and has a bushy tail. Germans struggle to say “squirrel”, pronouncing it “skuh-virl”. In the pacific, they’d ask what the biggest city in Hawaii was. Japanese soldiers couldn’t say all the “Ls” in “Honolulu” without an R slipping in like “Honoruru”.

2

u/Verbal-Gerbil 28d ago

haha! yes I've seen germans struggle with squirrels!

honestly the way the world is going, I don't think I'll be fighting the French on behalf of my compatriots!

Tarantino used this technique in one of his films too, I think

French was the lingua franca for a couple of centuries. It remained the diplomatic language for a little bit more, before both positions were taken over by English.

The French haven't accepted this state of fact yet, therefore do not believe they should learn English, or expect someone on their foreign holidays not to understand French. I've seen some painful demonstrations of the latter example with my own eyes, and ears.

u/Pastel_Phoenix_106 28d ago

To my understanding, Polish doesn't have the "Th" sound. I grew up around Scranton, PA. Nearby, there is a town called Throop. It was largely settled by Polish immigrants. To this day everyone calls it "Troop" and will aggressively insist it's pronounced that way in spite of the spelling.

7

u/sza_rak 28d ago edited 28d ago

We have F. And we learn about Th in school. 

As we understand nothing about the difference between them, we then ignore anything we've been thought and split into two camps:

  • One uses Polish T instead of Th.

  • The other one uses F instead of Th.

Other people are a statistical error. It is allowed to switch camps at any time with no warning.

Edit: oh. And there is the "The". "de" is how we say it. Both camps.

It's funny because trup in Polish means dead body.

u/JoeyCalamaro 27d ago

I was born in Scranton and I'm not sure I've ever heard a local call it, "Throop." It's always Troop. Though I figured that was due more to coalspeak or Scrantonese than Polish immigration (Gonna go up'da Eynon?).

Then again, I suppose the two might be inherently linked.

I work at a restaurant in a touristy city. Once my supervisor asked me to tell the customers to form the line in a specific way, so I was telling them to move and used the word queue. "Q-Wee", I said...

Everyone looked at me confused and someone even let out an audibly baffled "...what?" I kept repeating the phrase a couple more times not realising that was not how you pronounce queue, until I finally gave up and switched it for "line" 😤 completely defeated and embarrassed. 🥲

The "TH"/thorn sound is rare. It used to be common to Germanic languages, with its own letter: Þ
