Changing the Pronounciation of "Temu"

Hello, fellow Wikipedians! I have a suggestion to change the pronounciation of "Temu" from "Tee-moo" to "Teh-moo" like it is in the ads. I mean, I don't really like pronouncing it "Teh-moo", but it wouldn't really hurt to be accurate. The Master of Hedgehogs ^{(converse) (hedgehogs)} 11:18, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Example of these ads? Off-topic: "Teh-moo" makes so much more sense, phonetically. If they wanted it pronounced "Tee-moo", than they could've just included the extra E. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:36, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Temu's Super Bowl ad from 2024 pronounces Temu as "teh-moo". The Master of Hedgehogs ^{(converse) (hedgehogs)} 17:03, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

@Paul2520: You added the File:En-us-Temu.oga pronunciation clip, which uses "tee-moo". Is this based on a reliable source? It definitely contradicts the jingle used in the commercial. 162 etc. (talk) 18:14, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm guessing I just based it off the IPA + respelling. I would be happy to record a new version if The Master of Hedgehogs' suggested change is made. = paul2520 💬 18:18, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

That respell was added by User:Mac Dreamstate, based on this CNBC news clip which uses "tee-moo". So, we have clips using both pronunciations. 162 etc. (talk) 18:23, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Would make more sense to go with Temu's own advertising material over the secondary CNBC source. I can't see how that would go against WP:PRIMARY, since it's they themselves using the "Teh-moo" pronunciation. I tried looking for interviews with key personnel, but found none at the time.

See this article. According to this, the company has made the change from "tee-moo" to "teh-moo". 162 etc. (talk) 20:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

@162 etc., Mac Dreamstate, and The Master of Hedgehogs: I recorded File:En-us-Temu2.oga. = paul2520 💬 20:39, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Is there a reason why there now isn't an IPA/respell present? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 14:37, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

I just noticed this discussion. I inform all participants that I have updated the pronunciation in accordance with a source I provided. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 18:37, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Temu genuine

Temu does not engage in the unauthorized use of concept images like I read in the comments.For advertising purposes, any illustrative pictures are accompanied by genuine product photographs taken by Temu, accurately reflecting the item’s actual appearance. Example images are used solely for reference.When people will stop looking for a needle in a haystack..every business person would love that their items appear with the best environment or person inside the picture so the item can “bloom” in grace. 2A03:9EC0:FC69:E4D2:D97B:D249:65FF:C2B7 (talk) 10:47, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

 Not done It is not clear what you want changed in the article. If you want to propose a change then please state it in "Change X to Y" format and supply Reliable Sources to support the change. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:59, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

FAQ

I have added a FAQ at the top of this page in the hope that it will stop people posting complaints about Temu here as if we were their customer support. It's pretty basic and I'm not sure how much it will help. If anybody wants to try to improve it then please feel free. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:34, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

• User talk:~2026-18160-83, you need to tell us who you're talking about. I have an idea, but please put your money where your mouth is. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 14:51, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Neutrality

Am I right in stating that this article's introduction is severely biased against Temu? Can anyone clean the introduction up and put all that flak in a separate header for criticism? ~2026-39223-76 (talk) 12:11, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

We don't do that. See WP:CRITS. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:50, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
