    It’s relatively straightforward to pronounce, “spit-sin-candy-dat” is reasonably close to the German pronunciation.

      I meant, I bet many English speakers mispronounce the word. Sorry about the confusion.

        Oh, no misunderstanding afaik. I meant to say that the word is not that hard to pronounce even for non-Germans.

          I truly believe you overestimate the pronunciation abilities of non-German English speakers attempting to pronounce German. They will say “spits candidate” and call it a day.
