Stupid question is that how they would spell America in Germany "Amerika"?
Yep, that's how we spell it.
The hard "c" sound as you see in America is always a 'k' auf deutsch.
That makes sense
Ja
Just wait until you see how Americans spell Deutschland...
Just wait till you hear how we pronounce "Chicago".
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.
Eh, as a Bostonian I'm always much more impressed by how people's tongues try to leave orbit when they first encounter Worcester.
Something a person that definitely doesn't speak german would say. We spell it exactly like this.
...Yes, that’s why they’re asking.
