I dont think ill ever get used to the way Saudis pronounce certain words. I find myself going over the sentence my cousin-in-law said to me in my head... "what did he say?" "is he asking me something?" "what the hell is a Kan ta ky?"
its not until Melman say "Kentucky" that i finally realize that he is talking about KFC.
a few other examples:
HyberBonda = Hyper Panda (the supermarket next to the house)
Sod = Seed
Katchap = Ketchup
i feel like an idiot sometimes when i answer back using the correct pronounciation..
"Yes i am going to Hyper Panda"
"what's that? oh you want me to pass the ketchup?"
Do i seem like a snob coz im saying it differently from them?
Maybe one day without realising ill slowly start pronouncing them like Saudis do... itll slowly creep into my mouth - the way an american living in london for 20 years starts saying lift instead of elevator, or flat instead of apartment.
