While getting ready to walk the Tory Burch fall 2023 fashion show during New York Fashion Week, EmRata was asked by an interview how she properly pronounces her last name — and the model momma surprised quite a few folks with how wrong they were. She said in the brief video on TikTok:
“Rat-ah-COV-skee.”
Yeah. We’ve been worried about the “J” when we should have been watching that “W”! It’s closer to a “V” — like Wladimir. She then noted :
“I’m Polish. That’s the Polish pronunciation.”
The video came in response to a comment Emily wrote to give fans a hint at the exact pronunciation:
“It’s
everyone! Liana and I are both Eastern European so I was being playful! This is how you say it in Polish!”
So there you have it, folks! You can ch-ch-check how Emily says her last name (below):
