Pronunciation question.

[rachieface]

Is it Anna Corinna as in (Cor EE na) or Corinna as (Cor IN a)????

I just don't want to look like a moron when I talk about my bag, LOL.

 

[madamestuff]

I think Cor IN a, mostly because the standard 'rule' for English would be that if it were the former (Cor EE na) it would be spelt differently - eg. Coreena.

But there are always exceptions to rules!

I say CorEEna. But I might be wrong, lol.

 

[knasarae]

I say CorEEna as well. I thought the two n's made it an EE sound instead of IN.

I'm so glad you started this. Can someone tell me how to pronounce "Botkier"? tia

 

[dollyrusso]

Seriously! yves St. Laurent, anyone?

I pronounce it Cor-inn-uh but I have no idea if I'm right.

Related: When i first started buying La Mer, i pronounced it La-Merr lol! My friends still make fun of me :shame:

It's "bot-key-air".

At first glance I want to make it French and say "bot-key-eeeeh" .... but that's incorrect.

I pronounce it eaves saint lor-ont (rhymes closely with font).

Of course, I'm sure there are other versions!

Thanks! That was my guess too.

I say EVE Saint Laur-on (the S on Yves is silent in French). La Mer is La Mare. I also pronounce the other two as Bot-key-er, and Cor-in-a... but po-tat-o and po-tot-o... right??

Great, now that we are on the subject...Belen Echandia? Is it E-chan-dia or E-kahn-dia. I am a retard!!!!
