If you know an Alina, chances are you've probably mispronounced their name at least once.
It's all fun and games until the 11037th person calls you "Ah-lae-na" in a country accent.
An Alina is a person who always has their name mispronounced, they always appreciate it when you say their name correctly but don't make a big deal out of it when you mispronounce it. Trust me, they're used to it.
Alina is a word of Slavic origin that means "Bright, beautiful". Chances are you didn't know this was a name until you first met someone with the name.
"She's the one who won the Kahoot game."
"Who's that?? Oh wait, Ah-lae-na, nice job winning the Kahoot game!"
"That's how you say it, right?"
"Um, it's actually pronounced Alina.."
"Alright Ah-lae-na!"
