And Loewe .. well.. its a spanish brand but its pronounced like in german "loh-eh-vah"

Hope I helped!

i thought loewe was low- (like high-low) vuh (like "duh" with a v)
that's how you pronounce it as a last name...

Im certain is pronounced the way I type it ... I see this french and spanish channels who always do stuff on the brand ... does anyone can correct or back me up about how LOEWE is pronounced?

According to the wonderful Wikipedia:

The word Löwe, Loewe can refer to several things:
[...]
Loewe, luxury brand, part of LVMH; named after Heinrich Rossmann-Loewe (Enrique Loewe)
[...]

Assuming Herr Rossman-Loewe is so-named because he is German (and that "Loewe" here is indeed of German origin), then there is no argument that it would be pronounced leuh-vuh, the "euh" in "leuh" because pronounced like the "-ur" in "fur" except without the ending "r" sounding and with a little pursing of the lips.

Think about the "oeu" in "hors d'oeuvres". It's virtually the same sound. If you aren't sure, do it this way - say "ahhhhh" and then move your lips into a position as if to say "oh".

 

[Hye Park Lover]

How about Giambattista Valli?

 

[EdanChrysler]

Hye Park Lover: If I'm not wrong it should be pronounced "zhahm-bah-tihs-tah vah-lee", with the "zh" being pronounced like the "s" in "treasure". If I'm not wrong, the "-tt-" should be pronounced with no release of breath; that is - pronounce it without the puff of air.

I tried prounouncing it and I ended up saying something like "lover" (with a "h" instead of "r" at the end). That can't be right?

 

[Hye Park Lover]

Thanks for that Edan

Almost, except for the fact that the "loe-" (also written as "lö-") in LOEWE is pronounced with the lips pursed, unlike the "luh" (or in the case of some accents, "lah") of the "lo-" in English "lover".

How do you say Herchcovich?

 

[xmodel citizen]

Are there any Spanish speakers on here who know how to pronounce Txell Miras? I speak a bit of Spanish, so I have a general idea of how to pronounce her first name, but I want to be absolutely sure

 

[JJohnson]

How do you say Herchcovich?

herch - co- vitch

 

[JJohnson]

How about Giambattista Valli?

jahm - bat- ista - vah lee

i think it's pronounced schell?

 

[shadow]

Her name is Meritxell Miras Abella. Therefore a catalan (from Sabadell).

Txell Miras would be pronouced like " tchel MI-res" (the final a sounds similar to a closed e, like in the french word "le")

LOEWE may be a german word, but it is a Spanish make and everybody pronounces it like this: Lo-E-be.

 

[Ghost]

What is the real pronounciation of Christian Dior and Chanel?????

Christeon Dior??? and Cha ne without "L" sound????

 

[shadow]

It's definitely sha NEL, the L sounds.

 

[pomegranates]

can people help me out with these?

haider ackerman - colombian?
jens laugesen - danish ?

 

[Ghost]

i thought only vowels at the end of the word can be pronounced in french
so chanel. L is not vowel. so omitted

Ahhhh!!! I get it... thanks!
