Why do people insist on saying the word Porsche with one syllable instead of two?

I have met people with the last name Porsche, it is pronounced with two syllables. Please explain why people say it in one.|||Because in the English language, the e is silent, and most people don't realize in German, the e is stressed.





To the person mentioning other world problems, it's not a matter of there being more important problems in the world or not. It just means that you don't know why, and the person asking the question is just wondering.





Soccer is NOT called futbol all over the world. It's only called futbol in Brazil, Mexico, and Spain. It is usually called football everywhere else, and occasionally called soccer. It's referred to almost exclusively as soccer in America.|||Punch them in the face next time....seriously who cares. Bigger problems in this world.|||It is 2 syllables.





But in America, the "e" in Porsche is treated as a silent letter for some reason.





Everywhere else in the world, it is called Por-Sha.





Same with Soccer and Futbol.





Soccer is known a Futbol all around the world, but it is called soccer in America.|||por-shuh





two syllables





the end. anyone else who says porsh is incorrect.





it's like the dreaded jaguar. i've heard it said "JAG-WIRE". wrong.|||I think the reason most people call it "porsh" rather than "porsh-a" is because how would you say horse? It would be "hor-ss" not "horss-a".





Anyway the correct way to say it is "porsh-a", buit most people would know what you meant anyway,.





Hope that helps
