Fine, lets be technical since you want to go there.

The proper phonetic is porsh
the upside down e is called a schwa.

Its a center vowel that does not equate directly to any vowels that we have in the English language. The closest thing would be the sound that the u makes in the word "putt".

I don't see where you're getting the eh sound from breh

I really truly don't

I'm getting it from the Germans :heh:

I've heard Por-sheh directly from a German's mouth.

Pronounce how you want m8, but the correct way to say it is how the Germans say it. :manny:

I'm a Germanophile, so of course.

So why haven't you done so in this thread?

I was listening to some Drake and this nikka said "Party just dipped off in a white Porsch. The fukk is a "Porsch"? It's pronounced "Porsch-eh."

The Germans say Porsch-eh.


0:06 German Speaker.

I've been to Germany and the Germans say Porsch-eh.

The German way to say it would be more like Porsh-eh with the emphasis on the first syllable. It's a German family name, so there is actually a correct way to pronounce it


Let's go back to secondary school for a moment.

Slowly pronounce the word Por-sheh. Not Porsch, nor Porshe-ah

Even the video discription of that video say Porsche, in German, is pronounced with the subtle "eh", not "uh" at the end.
