Common Mispronunciations of Lotte

Not LOT-ay

American dictionaries treat the final e as silent, so the name comes out as one beat.

Not LOHT

The vowel is the open ah of father in American speech, with no oh in it.

Tip: German keeps two beats, LOT-uh, and the Korean company is usually said LOT-tay, so check which Lotte is meant.
