“Adele” seems like a simple enough name to pronounce. But when it comes to the British singer Adele, we may have been saying it wrong all this time.
Adele recently hosted a “happy hour” to promote her new video for “I Drink Wine”, and she took questions from the audience.
After hearing a woman from London pronounce her name “perfectly”, Adele then explained the proper pronunciation herself.
Chances are, you’ve been calling her uh-DEL all this time. But it turns out, it’s more like uh-DALE, or huh-DALE.
You’re welcome.
(PROFANITY WARNING: There’s no profanity in this particular segment, but elsewhere in the video, she drops some curse words. You can watch the video here. Skip ahead to 21:21.)
