  1. So that's how English speakers pronunciate it. Lauri knows you wouldn't be able to handle the proper Finnish way of rolling your r's 😉😁

    Anyways, nice for you to actually ask and learn and not just totally butcher it like so many others 👍

  2. It's pronounced very different.. amazing tht grown men don't know hollywood films are watched outside USA. I'm a finn and seen Juice, Spike Lee movies, Friday, Chris Tucker films, Cosby, blaxploitation etc.. Knowing black history is also just basic general knowledge.. I mean people watch documentaries and stuff. I'm sure it's the same situation in many countries… Possibly American's just don't watch "foreign films" 🙂
