“No, this is–” damn, I guess that doesn’t work here 🤔
Non, ceci n’est pas une pipe.
Ceci n’est pas un Patrique
Non, c’est … Yeah, you’re right.
Sir, this is the Chum Bucket.
I grew up with all French comics and cartoons, and it’s so weird watching native englishers call like Tintin’s dog “Snowy” or call Tintin “Tintin” for that matter.
This you?
Wrong generation but yes 😭
Is Tintin not called Tintin??? I am a bit confused about the latter
/tɛ̃tɛ̃/
Take a look at the trailer for Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin (a delightful movie, even though I had a really hard time getting used to these characters speaking English) and listen to the way Tintin pronounces his own name in English:

I can only assume that the way he says it in the movie is the normal way it’s said in English and indeed, that sounds weird.
Tinntinn vs Ti~ti~
So long i or what? I don’t really ubderstand your answer
In French it’d be closed to Tonton / Tantan but almost don’t pronounce the n’s.
We don’t pronounce the n at all. “in” is its own sound, independent of “i” or “n”.
/tɛ̃tɛ̃/
Is a nasalization, which while is distinct from an alveolar fricative is difficult to describe to someone who isn’t French, Polish, etc - I was trying!
It sounds kind of like we pronounce sntntn. French spelling is odd
I just guess it’s about French pronunciation. The tin is pronounced with a nasal long open vowel instead of a clear n.
PS you can go to french Wikipedia entry for Tintin and listen to it.
I could not find it on the wikipedia but I did find other options to listen to it. It does not sound like whatever you wrote earlier. The i is nowhere to be found but the n is really there, just as you said unclear.
I’ll do you one better, in German it’s “Tim” and “Struppi” (akin to “struppig”: ragged or unkempt).
They really just looked at ”Tintin" and decided that “Tim” is basically the same
In Danish the dog’s called “Terry” (probably because the translator considered that a cute name for a terrier) and has his profession (🤔) listed as “Astronaut, seaman” on Danish Wikipedia 😄
Huh… I’ve always thought tintin a the name of a dog but I guess that’s rin tin tin and that those are two competly unrelated things. TIL
Are they a female dog in the French version? Or just have a feminine name?
Edit: I asked my Belgian friend, he’s male
Terry is a gender neutral name
It’s Milou in French, no?
I might be in the wrong thread
It is
You know what they call a Krabby Patty in Paris?
Un royal avec du fromage
Royal avec du fromage! What do they call a Whopper?
Its still called a whopper but its pronounced “wah-pay” 🤣🤣🤣 (silly joke)
I dunno, I didnt go to burger king!
Un crap paté?
Close enough! It’s “pâté de crabe”!
It’s interesting how (for me, at least) “krabby patty” never evoked the idea that Mr Krabs is a cannibal, but somehow the phrase “pâté de crabe” makes that idea inescapable.
The restaurant is also built around a massive crab-trap.
I don’t get it. According to Wikipedia, Patrick Star is simply named Patrick Étoile in French. What’s up with Patrique here!?
French accent likely makes it sound like Patrique for OP?
This was probably the intend, but it’s funny because both versions of the name (Patrique exists as well, although less popular) are pronounced the same anyway.
deleted by creator
because it’s pronounced as Patrique. Or did you think they use an American English accent just for the names? https://youtu.be/RKvMCCSPZnw?t=1460
Or did you think they use an American English accent just for the names?
In the German dub, they did just that
because it’s pronounced as Patrique.
What does that even mean? There’s no difference in pronounciation whatsoever between Patrick and Patrique, which the video you linked to clearly demonstrates.
I figure it’s just in order to sound french
I’m imagining a child speaking French to his maman then out of nowhere a perfect American English pronunciation of “Patrick”.
People lie on the internet for attention
What the actual fuck
I love how it’s the “-que” which has the very french spelling, but it was probably the “r” that contained the heavy french accent.
Oh!..I get it now, Patrick the starfish
Star fish, startrek, patrick it’s all connected
Professor X
Thought is was going to ba about “a fuck” (un phoque)
Our French books in high school got new editions just to remove that word. Ridiculous.
- Do you know what it is?
- No
- It a phoque

It took me embarrassingly long to get this, I thought it was a joke about a mom’s affair partner out in public
wow! the French language exists!
OP will have their mind explode looking at other languages and how they sound for pronouncing Spongebob character names
Man, I speak French and hearing kids say “Bob L’éponge” still sounds weird as fuck growing up with SpongeBob.
Bob Esponja en español 😅
I speak French Spanish and English and nothing about that is weird to me
If you are presented with something familiar in an unfamiliar way there is the gap in understanding that leaves a feeling of funny unease. I’m sure there is name for the phenomenon. Take something like the backrooms. Even without any sort of monster shit it is a space that is thoroughly known by many people, the slight change in its presentation creates a feeling. This OP post is a similar thing. This person has heard the name Patrick star a million times in their life from one voice actor in one way. It has now been changed. Where a confused, unknown and unidentified feeling forms laughter often appears.
It has little to do with the language and much to do with the presentation in an unexpected way.
Exactly. It’s not even a problem, like I’m not gonna attempt to correct what doesn’t need correcting, it’s just momentarily jarring, like when I was in Germany and saw them spelling Canada with a ‘K’.
