When it comes to Aldi , many shoppers find themselves dragging out the ‘A’ syllable, but according to the retailer itself, we should be saying Al-di.
The supermarket’s name came from the surname of the brothers who started the chain in 1946, Karl Albrecht and his brother Theo.
The 'Al' is taken from Albrecht, and the 'di' comes from discount.
The budget store began in Germany so the short sharp pronunciation is in line with the original.
However, when it comes to pronouncing Lidl , things get a bit trickier.
Many British people often say it with a short, sharp 'Li' at the start, like 'lid-uhl'.
But in its home town, it's pronounced ‘lee-dul’.
