It's kinda funny when she goes to some countries and they pronounce "Gaga" in a different way specially Italy France and Japan

In Italy we pronunce it exaclty as it should be pronounced :neyde:

Jk but we actually do :laughga:

I say it like halfway between Gah-gah and Guh-guh. :laughga:

Pronouncing it like Gaw-gaw is an abomination though.

As a linguist which heavily supports the use of the international phonetic alphabet (IPA), this entire thread hurts. Like I don't even know what people mean anymore :emma: 

I say /ˈgaga/, which in my idiolect is phonetically [ˈkɑːgɑ].

Literally I wish I could understand it and use it well

I tried a while back 

It was hard :emma:

Perhaps, but once you learn it, it's unambiguous. Which is so, so important when discussing differences in language with other people whose languages or dialectal varieties are not your own.

Here in the UK most people pronounce her name like Lady Gar-Gar - like 'star'. But I've noticed Americans say Lady Ga-ga like "gag".
