Can You Pronounce "Piotr?"

[Mrsubzor]

Thumbs up and just because you did Palpatine impression :D

[SuperHelloKitty85]

Oh my god thanks so much for this. I have been with been with my boyfriend for a year now and have always called him Peter. I promised him I would learn to say his Polish name and now I have a chance :D

[JudgeAxe]

EXCELLENT video!

[bbmeme2010]

This is awesome!! My boyfriend's name is Piotr (he is Polish) and I DON'T call him Peter.

[TetsuoYagami]

Damn, I thought it was pronounced "peter".

I was gonna put a metaphor in a rap, "My dick is a Colossus, that's why they call it a peter" in reference to the X-Men character Colossus, whose name is Piotr.

[MsBraidBreaker]

I'm too lazy to look for the answer to my question which is:

Piotr, do you speak Polish ?

Cause u know it started to be kinda trendy to know Polish for instance Paul Wesley, Joanna Krupa and Yvonne Strahovski they all know it!

[XxEvE1986xX]

mr like u u fanny

[renumeratedfrog]

Love your impressions!

[Leadman1989]

sooo condescending

not really that hard to say and ugly...

[kupa2612]

P..iii.ooo...t...rrr.. did you hear that?! I said PIOTR! Oh Im sorry, I forgot I am Polish xD

[amandafloresloveyou]

lmfao. your great (:

[bonilufla]

u dont speak polish do u?

[TheVEGproductions]

AHHH!!! my ears!

[NadiaRoses420]

I can't believed I watched a video about pronouncing a name I already knew how to pronounce and enjoyed it as much as I did. Marry me?

[zjawa0301]

haha , "Pijot" a on normalny jest ?

[MarekUtd]

I'm Polish Australian. I notice all English speaking people have trouble saying such names. It's more the English speakers from Europe that give it a go seeing as there are pleny of Poles in the UK. P.S. One of the best Polish Strikers in the Beautiful game is named Piotr Brozek.

[MarekUtd]

Sorry Piotr Brozek is a left winger. I was thinking of his brother Pawel Brozek.

[ShokaLion]

Piotr according to Wikipedia, is the Polish form of the name Peter, which is interesting. Very neat either way.

[demonicDEBACLE]

nobody pronounces my name properly either:

Uszekrw

[brodaLDZ]

hahaha, try to say MIKOŁAJ instead of Nicholas or MICHAŁ (Michael) ;D

[pokedachef]

my brother's name is MIKOŁAJ

[EvangelineSky]

*turns up her volume...*

AHHHH!! O_O

...saw that coming, but funny anyway. :)

[danihc]

"not everybody is american"

"there are other countries and other people"

well noticed..try telling that to americans :D

LOL

[CheshireLillian]

dude...you are amazing XD I'm naming my kid after you lol

[Lexusstylie]

hehehe pieter ^^

[Pooja9405]

Hey, I'm Polish and I think your name is quite easy to pronounce. It's very popular name :-) But I understand that names from other country can make problems :P

[guerrald]

What else did you expect from most Americans. They don't speak Polish. THEY SPEAK AMERICAN! They pronounce it "PIE-YODER" haha.

Hey I got a question. Do you speak another language other than English fluently? If yes, did seeing the language differences play a part in your wanting to do voice impressions?

[I speak Swahili which is similar in pronunciation to Spanish and Japanese].

[kluski12]

lol, i didn't know that there is American language....

[nymersic]

@kluski12 Then it's probably time you paid attention to the world outside (hah, an American telling that to a European! Well, Europe IS a big country; I can understand ya guys getting lost sometimes). It's definitely not a language as much as a broad dialect of English, but it's quite different from the English it came from.

[sunedaze11]

@guerrald We do not speak 'American'! We Americans speak English with an American accent, you know that right?

[sh0ua]

yea kinda funny when ppl can't pronounce asian names too. we have an exchange student from poland and he said it's hard to pronounce my name with the "sh"

[JasperGriffin92]

Ha ha, this is great. Ever since i saw this video, I noticed Piotr popping up everywhere. Stupid me didn't even notice that Tchaikovsky's first name was Piotr until after I watched this. Anyway, Polish! That's awesome! A lot of great people were Polish. They also had names that were impossible to pronounce. I still have a hard time with Ladislas Starewicz, or... Starevich... or... however the hell you spell his actual Polish name. Anyway, great job!

[musicIZlife914]

one question, why do you pause at 0:20-0:26? why? well any way nice video, it rocks! also subscribe to either musicIZlife914 or eltresimigas and watch some of there videos. they rock! but great video! Phew!

[elimay200]

Hahaha, this was definitely entertaining. Gotta love Americans not being able to pronounce Polish names. Technically, my last name should have an ą, but it's hard enough to get people to pronounce it as it is...just because it begins with "Mac" doesn't mean I'm Scottish. Get out of your Anglo-Saxon mindset, people! :-)

[imdiablita]

it's so funny, am thinking of naming my son as liam piotr, but most people are saying that it is hard to pronounce, am still thinking....but am loving it. by the way, am living in italy.

[sunedaze11]

@imdiablita That would be a great name it sounds wonderful. Tell me did you name him Liam Piotr.

.I"m an American of Irish Polish heritage So it works for me!

[imdiablita]

@sunedaze11

i love piotr, but it is really hard for non 'piotr' country to have such name, so instead i made it Liam Pierre, i chose French. I do not like Pietro, my ear bleads hearing italian version.

[sunedaze11]

@imdiablita I like that as well, Liam Pierre, yup sounds softer  then Italian, Still like Liam Piotr LOL

Have a beautiful, happy, peaceful life Liam!

[muzzy12muzzy12]

lol! my name's italian but every1 calls me GAYbriel but its not its GAAAbriELLE lol spelled gabrielle, anyway... x ly

[arwalden]

You're so adorable! Even more so every time I watch one of your videos.  Good luck and continued success to you!

[helljumpper]

funny vid pi pee yu um..ummm that guy

[Michciu0911]

Hey. I'm Polish. It's very funny for me that Polish can learn most of languages easily but not everyone can learn Polish without problems

with pronunciation. On the other hand it depends of our skills.

Greetenings form eastern Poland:)

[theseventhsociety]

What happened at 0:22? You kinda froze..

[MojeSerduszko1]

Easy! Can you say

'Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz?'

I would like to see you attempt that!

[fcanonico]

is that funny?

[xwzxwzxwz]

I love you Pioooooooooooooooootr :D :D :D

[52193ak]

Hey! Im Polish! yeeay Polska!!! Woot! polish pride.... haha

PS: u have pretty eyes

from Agatha... or in in Polish : Agata

[PeterPKG]

My name is Piotr, represent!

[aK47yeahnigga]

scared the shit out of my gramma wen he yelled his name....lol

[GraysWar]

How to say "Can you pronounce Piotr?" in 2079!

Piotr piotr piotr Piotr?

Get it?

[majlosz21]

Loved the Emmet Brown impression - and gotta hand it to ya - I was a bit stunned with the whole 'there are other languages besides english in this world' thing coming from an American - that's a rare thing nowadays. Anyway, I think that Piotr is a relatively simple name, but by the looks of things - you still need to work on it (I know it's easier said than done ;P). In Polish you still sound as if u were sayin' Pjat - the R is too silent - it's actually not soft as u said in the vid, but rough

[mrbunnyfufu]

I'm sorry, but do you realize, and maybe I'm out of place here, you are correcting him on pronouncing his own name?

[majlosz21]

I think you misunderstood my comment. Piotr is trying to make his pronunciation of his name 100% Polish and I'm just tryin' to help. I didn't mean to sound preachy or anything..

[thesyriansystem]

well my name is ahmad

yeah.....

[brsv86]

"I'm sorry about that" :D :D :D

[luvXdanielXradcliffe]

LMAO! OMG! You left me in stitches!

haha, tuna sandwich, Piotr.

[th3warr1or]

aww fuck man. i turned the volume up.. u scared me..

[WarlockC22]

PIOOOOOOOOOOOOTTR!

[angelexist]

I did turn up the volume :S ahhhhhh YOU

[elcochel]

heh, i almost turned up the volume.

[jesuislemeilleur25]

ur gorgeous

[Flippylol]

Wow, this is kinda fun xD

[PoetryInMotion619]

the volume thing was a tad predictablee..

but niiice

[icewalk131]

I'm pretty sure I could pronounce your name even better than you :) Good job on your impressions! Greetz from the Air Force Academy!

[jplolo316]

very very good. nice way to get the point out there. i wish you would have just explained it to me that way when i first met you. now i'm going around rehearsing "peanut"!!

is you're volume turned up??

[gllladki]

hahahaha you ain't telling the last letter in your name so in fackt it doesn't sound polish ... i fell so sorry . :P

[Krukkie]

Try pronounce: 'Alwin' :D

[superchaos2586]

thats my friends name

[Xenfair]

lol i sneezed RIGHT when you paused :D

[fingerzman]

haha PIOTR!!

[BlissDevil]

I ripped a piece of paper the same time you paused. It freaked me out.

[Jaikkanen]

haha, that would have been hilarious (and yeah probably freaky).

[kasiulkaes]

I can pronounce your name very well ;)

[OperaGhostess]

I know the exact feeling of people mispronouncing your name. My name is a German name. And no one in America can pronounce it correctly. It is embarrassing.

And what is worse is when I tell them how to pronouce it...and they add letters and say it wrong. At that point I find it insulting.

[blinkratm24]

i saw that scream coming

[SilentAssassin7456]

i crapped myself bloody hell =)

[gwhscheer09]

lmao scared the hell out of me!

[mfs976]

that was so loud!!!!!!!!!! i turned it up and i jumped and yelled.

[freakhyena]

ahhh ur so great. and CUTE.

[Sidius52Ryan]

I can pronounce it. I'm polish ;) . But how about Zdzisław or Grzegorz :P ? I hate when people in English tv can't pronounce it... We doesn't have any problems with Jack or even Theodore. But... Polish is bloody hard language for "soft-tongue" foreigners.

[Sidius52Ryan]

Oh, I forgot. Polish "r" is more difficult, cause it isn't the same sound. It's toughest, and doesn't exist in the most of Germanic languages. It's similiar to the dog's snarling. Aaah, it's good to be Slavic. I can pronounce your and mine "r" as well.

So, "r" in the word "Piotr" really exits, but don't try to pronounce it or you'll break your tounge ;) .

[pokedachef]

yes, the "R" is a tongue killer, so i just say it's silent. It was heaven to be in Poland and hear everyone say my name correctly :P

[HoracePL]

WEEEEEEE!!! bardzo dobre!!!

[KennilworthyWhisp]

woah thats so weird! i was pronouncing it Peter and it is Peter!! but just in Polish!!! your HILLARIOUS man!! and very tallented!! keep up the awesome work!!

hahaha name your tuna salad Piotr!

im gonna subscribe!! woooooo!!

[Amirnake]

Yo, I love this kids videos, He has the gift of amusing, Now watching this video was 5 minutes of my life so well spent I'll never have any remorses about. Not just amusing but carries a very valid point, Hey Piot, Make a website, go universal man, If you ever have a show, My girl and i WILL be there, And she is polish by the way too :D. Great job

[jaakuubb]

haha, I can pronounce it proprietly.

[Sezzera]

Beautiful name =)

[lovelyxDavyxJones]

[Bry56]

[AlexanderBuldakow]

[SlavPolska]

[lucymusicfan]

[SquirrelmanJ981]

Silent "r." Got it.

[daralopes]

hahaha.. i know exactly what you mean!

Well at least people don't call you "Dada" x.x

I probably pronounciate your name wrong also :s sorry..

p.s. you're hallirous.. & I used to think you were shy! lol :p

[UltraTurboJack]

Micha ur an idiot; anywaaays. I agree with you, if you can't pronounce a name right ask. Or don't pronounce it at all.

[micharulez]

wtf!? u fucking bust me up here!!! havent laughed in a while!

[sweetfaith12]

[Josephdorf03]

Tell me! Is it.... I give up.

[micharulez]

[Josephdorf03]

I was asking about the pronunciation.

[chrippe24]

HAHHAAHAHAH I LOVE THAT NAME VERY MUCH..when u said that , that cracked me up! lol

[motyleasi]

hahahah...so cute:) im native polish....Piotr still can not pronounce his name well :)....the last letter should be very hard RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ..... but good job :)

[Josephdorf03]

And the Russian way is "Pyotor," right?

I learned that when I read the Brothers Karamazov.

[xxbleedingrainxx]

:) haha too cute.

[softxcorekid]

Hello want to tell you that I Laugh both your vidos,I think that you are super talented, all pacino is one of my favorite actors and your imitates so well. Well you just wish you well because you are very good at what they do,and so hot to.love carol

[ZosiaSamosiaOo]

You shouted and woke up everyone. It was stupid. And you can't say your name properly - say Piotr, not only Piot.

[XxxecutionerrX]

Haha I'm Polish too and it's REALLY funny to hear people try to say my last name... they don't even try anymore. Same with my best friend. We have the "ski" names.

[ALICEONACID]

I totally named my car the 'piotr'

[barbiebabe890]

i can totally say it. nice vid btw

[blah007]

XD I love the last part of your vid.

[onecrunkmama]

[runeshai]

Good little message at the end. Thanks for that.

[MatrixMaximum]

"ok turn up the volune......okay here.. PIOTR!!!

[pshemOsh]

i'm wondering how american dudes pronounce names like: Przemysław or Włodzimierz. teach them piotrek :)))

[PleasanceLiddle]

Ha ha, ja mam ten sam problem.

~ Asia

[pixieprincess729]

yay! jawbreakers!!

[TheRiddler8]

yes! go for more Polish names!!!!

[hazelwitchhazel]

You have an awesome talent!! You remind me of John Mayer...can you imitate him? (Without Miss Simpson?)

[sevy255]

try peter sellers

[dams3l]

lmao, thank you for the heart-attack. i actually turned up the volume to hear the 'r' -- well done sir, well done. ciao :)

[PiotrekDabrowski]

you can say also Pee-yut-reck (but fast) if you want to pronounce Piotrek ;) Greeting from Poland, namesaker :)

[testtube173]

Now people are gonna name their kids rebessa.

[fleshpile]

I don't have a cam so I'll write how I pronounce it.

Pyut. It's more like adding a "p" to "yut."

[TalentAnonymous]

I think the Christopher Lloyd bit in this video is the funniest thing I've seen you do yet! I also liked the "Darth Piotr" line. -The Impersonator

More to come...

[zainraza]

the blink thing is funny

[joytriangle]

hehehehe

[FRUNTCASTER]

Hahahahaha, probably one of your funniest video's!! I have three words for you. . . . America's Got Talent. . . . Audition. Okay, 4 words. . . . About the counting thing--I went to public school. Or in Polish Publicr Schoolr. ;)

[renots024]

I knew u were guna yell...but i still turned my volume up../sigh

[koherentny]

What's the problem with Piotr? You should try with another famous polish name: Grzegorz Brzęczszczykiewicz, with live place: gmina Chrząszczyżeboszyce, powiat Łękołody. If you pronounce these words, you will be a Real Lord Sith....

Polska również podziwia Ciebie....

[halleyscomment]

Outstanding impressions - clearly a calling. If I was in Poland, I guess I might give a crap how I pronounced P-I-O-T-R, but I'm not and you're not.  Do you really expect everyone to ask you how to pronounce your name before saying it? You're young, so I forgive you. Keep up the great work, Pete.

[testtube173]

Whats awesome is the video responses. A few of them still get it wrong. This guy is entirely to good at what he does whatever country he's from =)

[MathasarSalazar]

lmao!

[katt2501]

sorry if it offended you when i asked how to pronouce your name O.o i should've guessed that "r" was silent. silly me. your name is cool :) i'll name all my kids piotr! <3

[Gabbos]

screw that,im gonna "slappy nuts" !

[brownie134]

im gonna call my kid piotr. i love that name. plus im polish. MARANOWSKI FOREVER!!!

[Fr3c]

Haha love the Back To The Future part xD

Nice vid.

[AZSplayer]

Yeah I can pronounce "Piotr", because it's polish name - in english - Peter

[Chagall]

I have to say this is the most entertaining video you've done. You had me rolling <3

[larkascending2007]

lol u stopped at like :21 and i was like wtheck! My computer is messing up again grrrr..and i went through this whole thing wondering why it stopped :( then i watched the whole thing without stopping :( lol

[Dreadwins]

xD awesome man!

[gungasdindin]

PYacht......What's so hard about that?

[GDLR]

That's the best lesson on name pronounciation I've ever seen! Now I'll never forget peeyut...cool!

[CheesyMcK]

Piotr; At my house we don't think Piotr is a terribly hard name to pronounce. I guess other people are having problems with it. Don't take it personally. :)

Doc Brown; You're screwing up the space time continuum!

[fluxweed]

It seems the hyphens you used as a visual aid just added more confusion around here.

And YAY for the Australian mention!

[dominicp2007]

u can also use... a jawbreaker

peter i mean potato i mean pee---yut

[Viktoria3]

LOL Very interesting name! :)

[yrotstsohgallet]

And yet, when you screamed, I didn't hear an r at all.

[TanjaTHEAwesome]

..unfortunately I fell for turning up the volume..Damn you my EAARS! xD teehee. I get people mispronouncing my name all the time as well "tan-jah!" "no no nooo it's tan-yah!"

[mysteryglo]

nice job Peter, oh, I mean Pee--yut, err piotr.. =D

[Skott62]

I'm curious of the nationality behind the name Piotr(Peeyut).

Btw, great impersonations!

[whamkait]

Holy crap, Piotr. You scared the fuck outta me. :D Hahahahaah.

[richbuddy1]

potate-o....potat-o

[WeirdAlYankFan27]

LMFAO! Your names not that hard to pronounce. Your names cool. 8D {Is it up? Okay it PPPPYYYYYOOOOTTTTEEEE}

[XeoKeri]

Love the video. At first, I figured you were a little upset, then after watching more of it, you became very comical. The Christopher Lloyd/Back To The Future joke was great, and you did his voice very well.

- Xeon

[zainraza]

pee hat

[belgiandork]

Is that because i said how to pronounce my name?

(Arr---Nuh?)

[prime9230]

oh thats how u say it. the r is silent. thx.

[Kizzyisgod]

That was great kind of scary but great.

[KriegsterZ]

ur little joke scared the hell out of me.

[raflim]

Lmao... whats the deal at 25? I heard polish was the hardest language in the world to learn

[mnrl]

lolz!

[coconutpeaches]

I love the end expression but as a british-english speaker would we pronounce it pee-ot? Some people manage to mistake my name even though it's damn 3 letters long.. they say it Sam instead of SEM !!!! nice video :)

[Turppa21]

lol i would pronounce it as pee- oh -ter

[Turppa21]

whats up with the pause in the beginning? u cool, do some more impressions dude.

[dannyjam]

tchaikovsky's forst name was pyotr - do u give a shit?

[TT202020]

You have to pronounce the 'R'

[marcus18289]

[equalsup259]
