It'
s an european clothing retailer with shops placed all around the
world. They sell cheap and nice clothes, hence the popularity among teenage females. It originated in
Sweden.
Did you know that H&M is more correctly pronounced: "Hennes och Mauritz"? That'
s 'cause "och" means "and" in the swedish language. A common mistake is that
people say "und" instead, which isn'
t right as it's a german word, not swedish.
Many non-european people don'
t have a clue how to pronounce it that way, so just feel free to say "Hennes AND Mauritz", or just "H&M" so you don'
t end up making yourself look stupid.
