@montreallanders this is sad, like it’s not even a hard surname to say and he is very popular player… I get some Russians getting nicknames like Geno cause they can’t pronounce Jenya but this is ridiculous, there is that Z right there!

@noirsofia american announcers are the worst at pronouncing players’ names and they don’t even bother to try, they just laugh when they get called out and go back to butchering names

So yall didn’t bully me for this I have a new question… I got into nhl recently and WHY americans are not pronouncing z in Kaprizov surname…..

@nissabloodgood вот я тоже не понимаю!!! я уже начала думать может это какая-то инсайдерская информация которую я не знаю о капризове 😭

@noirsofia как совать з куда не надо это они всегда готовы, а прочитать по буквам 😭😭

@teukquila Honestly I thought maybe they are trying to say Z but it just sounds too close to Z . But they do pronounce it in another surnames clearly. Yeah I watch mostly USA broadcasts. So fascinating to me. Honestly my surname people can’t pronounce correctly for so many years I get it.

@noirsofia The Z sound in general is so uncommon in English it's often illited to a s or ts sound especially in the Canadian accent (of ur watching NHL commentary more likely than not the commentators are Canadian, my z sound like in daze, cozy, fuze, are all way closer to s or ts than з)

@nigrum_stellas kirill seems like a harder work to pronounce for English speakers but Kaprizov seem like them just being lazy. Honestly I guess it’s better than how they pronounce his teammate Tarasenko

@noirsofia i think its because the “priz” sound in his name doesnt exist/isnt common in english but its so annoying how even the broadcasters for nhl say it wrong a lot and almost no one pronounces “kirill” right either 😭

@hodzhesaargh Ооооо имеет смысл. Все равно так странно, он известный хоккеист, я уверена что комментаторы и журналисты знают как произносить его имя, но вот будто физически не получается.

@noirsofia По иронии, в слове caprice как раз нет звука з, возможно ассоциация с этим. Ещё часто бывает оверкомпенсация, т.к. s между гласными в англ зачастую читается как z, то с иностранными именами приходится прилагать усилие и сохранять s, а тут и z прилетело.

@nissabloodgood yes!!! It bothers me so much!!!!

@noirsofia how do they pronounce it? 😭 like with an ‘s’?

me and my friend were joking that Kaprizov is not allowed to have a ‘z’ in his name because of anti-russian sanctions

like you can pronouns it in Rozanov yeah??? What’s up with Kaprizov??? so perplexing for me

Ссссссссука, я аж каву носом пустив

got too much traction for my little pet peeve tweet but honestly guys just be careful with using russian in dirty talk scenes……… there are always a chance to translate ‘cock’ as a ‘rooster’ and it happened and will happen again

I read now the same thing with the word ‘pedestal’ and I m sorry it’s THE SAME in russian and Rozanov is a professional athlete like PLEASE he is not that stupid

I read some hr fan fiction and it’s never stop being funny how fic writers choose for ‘oh I don’t know this very hard word in English? What does it mean?’ thing and for some reason ITS ALWAYS THE WORD THAT SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME IN RUSSIAN

@mothseasons yeah I think I read this one too. I understand that the author doesn’t think about checking these things but for some reason I never read those line used with actually hard words… like what oods are that it’s always same sounding words

@noirsofia it would make sense for shane maybe if it sounds the same but it reads differently but i read one where ilya didnt know the word for sentimental and said it in russian. it's the same word!!! (tbf in-fic shane translated it as 'sappy' but it threw me OFF)

@papuvesi no this was even funnier cause pedestal was use in the idiom ‘putting on pedestal’ so ilya was asking what is ‘pedestal’ and in russian we have the same idiom! with the same meaning!! and it’s also the same in a sport context. no hate to the author but it was so funny to me

@noirsofia I think a lot of people just don't think of the fact that ESL folks will usually know most of the english words related to their main interest or job, even if those words seem complicated. you can even have a harder time w a simpler word simply cause you don't need to use it

@teukquila haha it’s always ‘hard’ words and most of them are just french or latin 😭

@noirsofia I have this same problem with my bf where if he's speaking English and forgets a very soecific word or term he'll go straight to google translate and I'm like just say it in russian first before doing that cuz it's often the same 😭

I was watching an nhl game and some russian speaking fan got too loud and to close to the camera at the end of it and it was like me and my friend got a third fan screaming ДАВААААЙ ПААААААС ВОВОВО with us
