People Are Only Just Finding Out How To Pronounce Shein (2024)
People are always shook after finding out the correct way to pronounce certain words or phrases - remember when we learned we were pronouncing Amanda Seyfried's name wrong after all this time?
Well, TikTok has just discovered the correct way to pronounce the clothing brand Shein and everyone is are losing it.
Thanks to TikToker @caramalizedhijabi, we now know that the official Shein Twitter account confirmed how the brand's name should be pronounced - and we're in shock.
In response to a tweet, the Twitter account said: "It's pronounced SHE-in". But many of us had no idea this was the correct way to say it.
In the comments section, creator @caramalizedhijabi gave her own verdict on the recently discovered pronunciation. "If you say she-in really fast it sounds like sheen so Imma still be saying sheen." It turns out lots of people have been saying 'sheen'.
"It's still sheen to me too!" said one commenter.
A second responded to the video adding "No I will always say it sheen" while another TikTok account added "SHEEN 4EVA".
One woman said: "It will always be SHEEN in my heart" and other added "It HAS to be sheen".
People also shared their own unique ways of pronouncing the fashion brand's name and we can't get just how many there are.
"I say sheyn," confessed one TikTok commenter.
Another user typed: "I've always said Shane".
"I thought it was like 'shine'" added one more commenter.
In related news, a video of rapper Nicki Minaj trying to pronounce Salford during a tour stop in Manchester in 2019 as part of her world tour resurfaced recently - and it's hilarious.
As she sashays across the stage, she joked: "Did you know I was born in Manchester?" in a heavily affected London accent. Nice try, Nicki, but you're about 200 miles out.
Watch the clip below:

"But if I was from Manchester, I don't know exactly where I would be from..."
As numerous voices in the crowd shout Salford, Nicki looks bemused, and continues (still in full British mode): "Well? You don't know?"
Bending down and trying to lipread what fans are shouting, she attempts to say Salford.
Jewish (Ashkenazic): nickname or artificial name from Yiddish sheyn 'fine beautiful'. Compare Schoen . Americanized form of German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) Schein .
Their prices are low because they practice fast fashion, use cheap labor, and have a lot of sales and discounts. However, their clothes are usually of good quality, and you can always return them if you're not happy with your purchase. So if you're looking for affordable clothes, Shein is a great option!
NANJING, China, June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SheIn, former Sheinside, recently changed its brand name to SheIn and adopted "She In Shine Out" as its new slogan. Their domain name has altered to "www.shein.com" as well, which has sparked a rather heated discussion among e-commerce peers.
Is Shein a scam? Shein is a reputable online retailer. If you're shopping from the US they have a great return policy (free return shipping on the first return package from your order within 30 days). Shein is one of the fastest growing online retailers (making the front page of the Wall Street Journal in summer 2021).
Shein relies on AI to predict consumer interest shifts
Using AI to create replicas of popular trends on a daily basis means that the customer always receives popular pieces. Many Shein garments have come under fire for copying designer brand pieces, young designer imagery and religious motifs.
Shein launched an investigation after U.K. Channel Four documentary Untold: Inside The Shein Machine alleged that workers were subject to 16-hour-long days, got one day off a month, and earned wages of around 4,000 yuan ($572) per month to produce hundreds of garments for the online retailer each day.
For the most part, Uniqlo's items are quite inexpensive with slightly higher quality than Shein. I personally like Uniqlo for loungewear, cheap activewear and basics, such as T-shirts. Uniqlo doesn't have quite the same range of trendy items as Shein, though.
For the US audience, the company sends all of its clothes from the Shein warehouse in Foshan, Guangdong to the one near Los Angeles. Even though the company has a longer delivery time than some of its competitors, their prices and the large collection has kept their audience hooked to the app.
SHANGHAI/GUANGZHOU -- Shein's unconventional approach has propelled the Chinese fast-fashion app to a market value far surpassing that of its closest competitors Uniqlo and Zara. The startup has taken the world by storm by rolling out thousands of new products every day that can be bought for affordable prices.
Shein (しえん): This name is pronounced "shi-en" and is commonly used in the Kyushu region of Japan. The kanji used for this name means "life" and "connection".
Shein is a Chinese fashion e-commerce company that's outperforming many of its competitors. Its reported valuation in April 2022 was $100 billion – more than H&M and Zara combined.
Shein is one of China's most buzzed-about ecommerce fashion etail companies, but unlike its rivals, JD.com and Alibaba, most people in its home country have never heard of it.
Chinese ecommerce giant Shein has experienced a meteoric rise in the U.S. fast fashion market, with its sales and market share overtaking competitors such as H&M, Fashion Nova, Forever 21, ASOS, and Zara during the COVID-19 pandemic.
