The little hat on the vowel means that the Latin root word had an 's' there.

Everyone: contact your French embassy and explain that French language needs more promotion in Denmark.
EDIT: Can't hurt to contact your Danish embassy while you're at it.
EDIT 2: Looks like Denmark has a consulate in Illinoise, too.

How am I mispronouncing? It's the actual, official pronunciation of the name Paris. If English wanted a special pronunciation they could have come up with their own name, or used an exonym/endonym.
Does the hat mean that the pronunciation of the o should be changed?
They probably already know. After all it's no secret that French in Denmark has severely deteriorated in the last 30 to 40 years to such an extent that most schools don't even offer French classes anymore due to a lack of interest. Everybody learns German instead these days. So at least in Denmark German has severely and decisively beat French.
We can't let the Danish be culturally deprived, then, can we?
Your embassy is conveniently located near Saint Sophia's Cathedral and an Escape Room!
Maybe I'll make a day of it at some point.
The Danish Embassy here is next to the Peruvian Embassy. Make of that what you will.
We'll call it R&D for Victoria 3.
We're trying to have the French diplomatic corps put pressure on Denmark. Not "send in the paratroopers" level just yet, but we'll see how things unfold.
The Danish Consulate-General in LA is located just across a drug detection centre (like for if you want an employee sacked for smoking weed).
Make of that what you will, too.

Will phone tomorrow to ask them if pissing in a condom for your friend is hyggelig.
It's certainly a favour you could ask only of your most hygge friends.
Just make sure you do it in a French accent. We have an objective, remember?

Wagon, for the love of all that is good and holy, you are a physicist, not a linguist. Please stop dishonoring Denmark with your mindblowingly un-hygge comments.
No, but I might start promoting some quackpot physics theory full of Victorianesque nationalist chauvinism for the hell of it.
Where on Wagonlitz's green earth did you get the idea that Lithuania was involved in this somehow?
