Stupid question is that how they would spell America in Germany "Amerika"?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Just wait till you hear how we pronounce "Chicago".

[-] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's obviously pronounced Kicago, just like Chamäleon, Chemie and China :)

Kemie and Kina

I threw up a little...

But Chemie comes from Chemnitz (obviously) so it must be pronounced with K

Don't know where China comes from, maybe from Chinese which is obviously pronounced with K.
