Anglos quite literally cannot pronounce a german "o". There is not a single word in the english language that emulates the sound of the O in Schopenhauer.

I hate this pronunciation with a burning passion. It's Don "Quicks-Oat", you pretentious fool.
Funny thing is, it's not even the pronunciation Cervantes would have used since he spoke an older form of Castilian where the 'x' was read as a "sh" sound instead of an 'h' so the pretentious Modern Spanish accent is totally misplaced! lmao.

>"Quicks-Oat"
disgusting

>>22059288
Personally, I prefer Don "Quicksit". Never was a fan of "Quicks-Oat" but I agree, putting on an accent to sound foreign is cringe.

>>22059342
hoetay isn't putting on an accent
not a spanish one at any rate

>>22059361
Lmao, what? I know it isn't the way Cervantes pronounced it but you're telling me not even Spanish people pronounce it that way? lol.

>>22059397
it's an english approximation of the spanish pronunciation
it's not putting on an accent

>>22059288
>>22059342
>pronouncing proper names, that are easily expressed in your own orthography, correctly is "putting on an accent" and pretentious

i pronounced don quixote right around people a few times and they kept "correcting" me to donkey hoe tay so i gave up and now i pronounce it wrong on purpose
it's easier than autistically explaining it every time

Not him but there's nothing worse than someone speaking a language properly but in the wrong context. I loathe that stuff when people pronounce Spanish words as accurately as possible or even overemphasizing the accent when they're in an English context. The same with other language but for some reason its become really prevalent for English people in some attempt to prove how cultured they are.
It's so fucking annoying. You're speaking English, just say it the English way.

>>22060220
Not in the slightest Jaume. You look like a typical andalusian aka mexican.

>>22060129

i don't see how this applies to proper nouns. you're either pronouncing it right or you aren't, it has nothing to do with linguistic differences
