To answer Jordy's question regarding T's becoming a D sound, this is a common feature in many North American (not all) and in Australian English (and possibly Irish English - I'm not sure on that one). The crisp T consonant flattens to a D sound in some cases. Water sounds like wader or waduh, gutter sounds like gudder or gudduh, that sort of thing... The final vowel sound varies by accent (some tend to simplify the -er sound to a vague schwa vowel).
I can't pronounce words that have that T (that you hear like a D or also like an American R) when it is close to an R , like an impossible one for me is "better and better" or "party", so I gave up and use the clear or strong T (as is used in UK or Australia, also sounds like T in the other languages I'm familiar with, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, German, Russian...so I went for the good of the majority)
Fun fact actually, it's not being pronounced as /d/ there, it's actually an alveolar tap, the same sound that Spanish speakers would use in words like 'pero'. The reason that it's pronounced that way is due to English phonology- that is to say that /t/ and /d/ between vowels becomes an alveolar tap sound because it's considered an "allophone" of those sounds (phonemes). It's not due to laziness, it's just part of the language. Every language has their own phonology rules like that!

About gelato al pistacchio, the thing that impressed me once I moved in the States, is the fact that in Italy this flavor is green, while in the States is whitish-cream colored. The traditional bruschetta is with tomato, oil and a pinch of salt, but to my understanding bruschetta is literally a slice of bread that has been "bruscato" (abbrustolito = toasted) and can be topped with anything: a slice of mozzarella, mushrooms, roasted peppers, etc.
Sort of. It’s a language where exceptions are really what they’re supposed to be, so you can actually learn a relatively small set of rules and guess the correct pronunciation. Or, better, you can guess the correct sound, because in Italian accents are important and must be considered when you pronounce a word.
As an Italian, I have the “Erre Moscia”. Literally every Italians when they hear my “erre moscia” they want to notice me that I have it. 😂😂 it’s hard for me to say correctly the “erre” even for me…
Yeah, it's so hard to pronounce, if you don't roll it naturally. I'm not Italian, but when I started learning Italian I spent a few months practicing it every single day, until I could do it perfectly.
No but same, and so does my friend and one of his friends once asked him a question to tease him which was "ma Simo, ma tu pensi pure con la erre moscia?" Faceva troppo ridere
Ok this video is amazing and the two of you are so funny and cute together. But now I need to understand how is it possible to eat spaghetti with a spoon.. I mean how?! 😂😂
Oh, the r thing from her brother is like me. I speak Spanish but I can't roll my r's, so I have to do it in the back of the throat like gargling water.
I remember playing Assassin’s Creed 2 and hearing them pronounce Cesare Borgia so differently from how I would’ve said it in English if I just saw it written.
@@superkazuya3328 I never said they pronounced it well. I just said it's different than the way we would naturally pronounce those words in English. They did pronounce Cesare as "Chesaray" even if it wasn't good Italian. In English we'd probably say something like "See-Sare" or even "Kaser."
I remember some ladies with whom I worked were talking about pastries. Croissants, to be more precise. I had no idea what they were talking about, since they were saying "CROO-sant". No clue. When they said, "Crescent Roll" to me, I said, "Oh! A croissant!" They said, "Well, in America we say 'CROO-sant'." I said, "No, we don't. Don't do that." I walked away. It really chafed. Right up there with "Bruschetta" as "broo-SHET" and "Chicken Francese" as "Chicken fran-CHEHZ". Painful. I won't go into the Parmesan/Parmigiana war. I use Parmigiano Reggiano.
Pistacchi are so freaking good, I don't know if it's sold outside of Italy but we have a kind of pistacchio cream that you can spread on breat, kind of like nutella
I would have been wrong and said "brooshetta" too. "sch" is "shhh" in German and American English, except for the word "schedule", for some reason. It's good to know if I travel to Italy, I might explain my last name pronunciation as "Reiscil". I think Callie's Italian pronunciation is pretty solid after a couple tries. I'd like to think those of us from around the Great Lakes catch on quicker than the average American.
School, scholar, scheme, schizophrenia, schism - those are just off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are other English words where "sch" is pronounced like "sk". And in the UK, people pronounce schedule as "shed-yule".
@@antoniosoul Yeah, that's weird, but true, and the Brits still have the "sk" for school. It's no wonder people who don't speak English find it difficult to learn.
@@christopherdavis1066 well same basically when I'm not articulating (that's what I meant by no T at all), we can't just take one accent from one place and speak on behalf of every English speaker but I guess it was just more convenient cuz they can't bring a person from every English speaking place just like that
I asked Italian friends (Parma) about pasta with a spoon and they told me it depends on the family habit ... also "pasta bolognese" is not very common in Italy, as it is supposed to be "pasta al ragù", that was made very clear 🙂
Actually not. I am italian and no italian ever eats pasta with fork and spoon, just fork. Never seen one in all of my life (only tourists do that). We use spoon only for soups. Yes, I confirm, in Italy we don’t call the pasta “bolognese”, but “al ragù”. Ragù is the sauce, “al” means “with”
From a video like this i realize for the first time that doubles sound like double T or P are made with a little pause before the letter... and nothing, that's not so easy to pronounce, and that's why italian sound musical, because there are so many different pause that's changing the rithm.
Those videos are always fun. It's interesting to compare how well languages do with foreign words and it's honestly hillarious how right German can be but then there are things that are completely different. Mostly it comes down on the emphasis of the syllabes through and the rolling of the 'r' which is more of a bavarian thing that most other Germans can't do well.
Jordy, potresti chiedere alla tua amica se trova difficoltà nel pronunciare la parola "aiuole". Ho conosciuto una persona che conosceva 5 lingue e che questa parola lo metteva in difficoltà con tutte le vocali. Complimenti a voi per la simpatia😉
at this point I think that the algorithm thinks that I speak english and I'm trying to learn Italian, and not the contrary. I love how people used and probably still do think that robots are going to take over the world.
What about 'parmigiano'? Americans pronounce it 'parmazhaan' (zh as in 'leisure') but in Italian 'gi' is pronounced 'j', as in jump. In the UK we opt out and call it 'parmesan'!
We call it "parmesan" here in Norway too so I think we might've borrowed that idea from the UK because we found it easier to call it that than the other variants.
Parmigiano Reggiano is the proper name of a specific cheese, parmesan is moreso just a translation that's used for several similar cheeses afaik. We say parmesan in Sweden too so it's probably just a translation that makes it easier in our languages.
@@DidrickNamtvedt As an Italian I must say that in the world they often use the term "Parmesan". But it doesn't always correspond to our original “Parmigiano Reggiano”. It is often a fake "Parmigiano" (especially the grated one in a bag). The original Parmigiano Reggiano has its name branded on the rind, as does "Grana Padano" which is similar to Parmigiano, but with a slightly different taste and even cheaper. Parmigiano Reggiano is always more expensive than Grana Padano.
I am Italian and also an Italian teacher and I live here in Germany. For many years the Germans here have pronounced the name Lamborghini in that wrong way. It seems that now, in recent years, they have finally understood how to pronounce the famous brand known all over the world.
It’s usually just Americans 🇺🇸 that “get lazy” & pronounce T’s as D’s, I think it’s probably to do with the accent & how you’re brought up. Also I have lots of trouble with R’s in Italian 😅
Don't really speak Italian but have some grasps of how their letters pronounced Zz = tz S = z C/cc = ch Gn = ny (ñ / nh) The "ng" easy to pronounce as it has the same sound corresponds with digraph "ny" in my language, which is Malay, maybe if our linguistics authority try to respell and arrange the spelling of Italian words that borrowed via English, would be easier in pronunciation and spelling for us, e.g; Gnocchi = Nyoki Lasagne = lazanya
In fact "z" can be pronounced in two different ways, as "tz" or as "dz", depending on the word. Be careful especially with double letters. "penne" and "pene" are really two different things 😀
The letter "S" has two pronunciation: like english [z] and [s]. It's [z] between two vowels or before a voiced consonant (like b, d, g, v, m, n, l), [s] otherwise.
In our "received pronunciation", in some cases s is supposed to be pronounced "z" (like in "loser"), while in some cases it's supposed to be pronounced "s" (like in "silver"). However, in Rome we don't have that difference! For us, s is never pronounced "z", it's always "s" like in "silver"
To be fair, the English language has swiped many words from other languages and made them their own kinda. So while it may be the wrong pronunciation for the language it was taken from it’s not necessarily in English, but still very interesting to see the differences
in this particular instance, the Italian immigrants to the US brought mostly southern Italian dialects that have died out over in italy. The way americans learned to pronounce italian words arent as wrong as modern Italian people tend to think.
è in realtà una prerogativa dell'inglese, dello spagnolo e del giapponese, per fare tre esempi, quella di prendere parole straniere e pronunciarle seguendo le regole della propria lingua e non di quella originale. noi usiamo inglesismi da decenni come computer, bar e cocktail ad esempio ma non li leggiamo come se fossero parole italiane, ma cerchiamo di "imitare" la pronuncia originale (pur ovviamente non articolando nello stesso modo quindi diciamo "com-pyu-teR" e non "com-pu-teR" ma di certo non "kuhm·pyoo·tuh". emblematico il caso di "stage", inteso come periodo di lavoro formativo: fino a 20 anni fa si pronunciava all'inglese (steig con la g dolce), e sembrava si parlasse di "palco", poi piano piano si è iniziata ad usare la pronuncia francese (sta-jz) perché l'origine del termine era appunto francofona.
@@Alex.Holland I am from southern Italy. What am I reading? my eyes are bleading. Believe me these pronounciations are wrong. They're not even words in dialect, they're in Italian so what are you balbbering about? Plus, yes, the dialcts aren't as popular since they're not the first language anymore, but that doesn't mean they disappeared
@@RandomPerson-de8zp the USA has had tens of millions of Italian immigrants, and even today Italian is the 8th most commonly spoken language in the US. Italy was not yet a country when most of these people came to the USA in the 1800s, and in fact most of them never spoke "Italian" at all. They spoke italo-dalmatian dialects that are no longer spoken in Italy. It's their influence that formed how Americans speak Italian loan words, we never looked towards the nation of Italy for pronunciation until very recently. Its well known that the way Americans speak Italian drives modern Italians crazy. Just like how American style Chinese food drives modern Chinese crazy.
@@belgravia85 beh la Giorgia Toscana (la famosa C aspirata) in realtà non riguarda solo la C bensì coinvolge anke la T e in misura minore anke la P.. Inoltre la C non viene sempre aspirata: dipende se è all'inizio, se è doppia e tanti altri fattori.. La parlata fiorentina che hai sentito è solo una caricatura di quella che realmente è..
Similar to Spanish, is it easier for English speakers if you say that the vowels are always pronounced and they have their own singular sound to them... Yes?
2:56 actually that's American English. Not the entire English language thing. British people won't pronounce GelaDo, they will pronounce GelaTo with T.
In my experience (California) most Americans do pronounce the T in gelato. Subbing in a D sounds lazy and wrong, but it wouldn't be surprising in the midwest.
I think this is a generalization because I’m American and have always pronounced it gelaTO not DO. most people I’ve meant from England rarely pronounce t’s in the middle of words and would say gela’o. That’s not to say all English people speak this way but some do.
@@gregmuon I spend most of my childhood in California and I’ve always said gelato like a t. I don’t ever recall hearing it as a d. I think these might be Callie’s accent kicking in. Since moving to the MW one thing I notice is that most people I encounter use ya for you and your. “How are ya? Where did ya meet ya wife”. And this has been people from different walks of life. I was in a work meeting recently and someone said to another person “We can’t hear ya” whereas I would say “We can’t hear you.” Of course, I believe people are free to speak how they like.
@@anndeecosita3586 Yep, people are pretty good with the T here in California. As an Italian American, what rankles me is nobody *ever* gets the pronunciation for "risotto" or "gnocchi" even remotely close to correct. There's a good subject for a future video World Friends! 😁
Any other English speakers cringing when they say "in English" but you don't pronounce anything like that because you're not American? But I'm still gonna watch all of these haha, interesting either way.
Okay but the example she made for the CE and CIE difference is kinda weird; she could've compared words like CECO (Chzech) and CIECO (blind) which have just a one letter difference and they're pronounced the exact same way, unlike CECIO and CIECO (her example). So ultimately her example has nothing to do with the "same pronounciation, different meaning" thing. I know, nobody cares, but it was bothering me A LOT and I had to say something about it.
This video put me a smile on my face 😄 The pronunciation got better and better and it's nice to see you learning the pronunciation with an actual native Italian speaker! I'll give you some words that may be a little difficult to guess their pronunciation: Soqquadro: /sokˈkwa.dro/ (meaning: disorder, chaos, mayhem) Compagnia: /kom.paɲˈɲi.a/ (meaning: company). Do not pronounce it /komˈpaɲ.ɲa/, that is a female companion. Schema: /ˈskɛ.ma/ (meaning: schema, outline). Do not pronounce it /ˈʃe.ma/, that is a way to refer to a silly, stupid female. Attimo: /ˈat.ti.mo/ (meaning: moment, instant). In this word, the accent is on the first vowel. Pagliaccio: /paʎˈʎat.t͡ʃo/ (meaning: clown). Accento: /atˈt͡ʃɛn.to/ (meaning: accent). Take care to not read it /ˈaksɛnto/: the double "c" in italian isn't read /ks/, but /kˈk/ when followed by the vowels "e" or "i", or /tˈt͡ʃ/ in the other cases.
I can understand callie for usonians people, letters and sounds from latines idioms are very hard like, Ng, Ñ, ll, Ss, RR, Ch, Sh, Ç in latine pronounciation. Usonian person are germanic person, in english they don't have theses letter and sounds. For them it's tuff to reproducció our speeches.
Came here for pepperoni that has nothing to do with salame ... I wonder how dumb were the first people to call salame pepperoni (peperoni means chili peppers)
Fun video, but perhaps the sound needs to be checked. Callie sounds very soft (and I have the volume at the loudest). Especially with the background music it is a bit more difficult to hear.
@@pietrosciacca Io, ad esempio, mangio il risotto con la forchetta, forse altri lo mangiano col cucchiaio. Ma in fondo poi ognuno a casa sua fa e mangia come gli pare e piace. :)
L'italiano può avere una grammatica da incubo per gli stranieri ma come pronuncia siamo molto diretti, pocchissime regole ed eccezioni (tipo appunto CH SC con I e E). NOn capisco perchè in inglese cambiano le lettere....T che divenda D, oppure parole scritte uguali salvo che per una lettera, e che poi si pronunciano diversamente tipo HEAD (HED testa) e LEAD (LID, condurre) o HEAR (HIAR ascoltare)....ovviamente quello che ho scritto come pronuncia va cmq dtto all'inglese e non detto all'italiana eh, ma boh...stesse lettere o quasi..e pronunce diverse. Da noi non succede.
In English pistachio only has one “c” (they sort of overlooked this in the video although not sure how much it matters) and also came into the language through French whereas Pinocchio is straight from Italian.

Yeah, it's so hard to pronounce, if you don't roll it naturally. I'm not Italian, but when I started learning Italian I spent a few months practicing it every single day, until I could do it perfectly.
No but same, and so does my friend and one of his friends once asked him a question to tease him which was "ma Simo, ma tu pensi pure con la erre moscia?" Faceva troppo ridere
Same here. And then it is "say burro" or other words like that
Per non parlare dei soprannomi, tipo "trontron" o "ramarro marrone"
Non ho la erre moscia, ma son dalla vostra parte in questa battaglia
Però come sottolineava anche Jordy, la r moscia ci facilita tanto col francese 😆✨
Ok this video is amazing and the two of you are so funny and cute together. But now I need to understand how is it possible to eat spaghetti with a spoon.. I mean how?! 😂😂
The spoon facilitates to twist spaghetti, according to the grade of cooking and the viscosity of SUGO !💚🤍❤!
Oh, the r thing from her brother is like me. I speak Spanish but I can't roll my r's, so I have to do it in the back of the throat like gargling water.
Haha, kind of like the French one.
But you have to practice your Spanish 'r'
I remember playing Assassin’s Creed 2 and hearing them pronounce Cesare Borgia so differently from how I would’ve said it in English if I just saw it written.
"Cesare Borgia" is pronounced "Chesaray Borzheesa" in Italian
@@michaelhalsall5684 Yep, that's how they said it in the game.
@@michaelhalsall5684 no it's not lmao
The english dub of assassin's creed butchered every single Italian word they stumbled on 😂
@@superkazuya3328 I never said they pronounced it well. I just said it's different than the way we would naturally pronounce those words in English. They did pronounce Cesare as "Chesaray" even if it wasn't good Italian. In English we'd probably say something like "See-Sare" or even "Kaser."
I remember some ladies with whom I worked were talking about pastries. Croissants, to be more precise. I had no idea what they were talking about, since they were saying "CROO-sant". No clue. When they said, "Crescent Roll" to me, I said, "Oh! A croissant!" They said, "Well, in America we say 'CROO-sant'." I said, "No, we don't. Don't do that." I walked away. It really chafed. Right up there with "Bruschetta" as "broo-SHET" and "Chicken Francese" as "Chicken fran-CHEHZ". Painful. I won't go into the Parmesan/Parmigiana war. I use Parmigiano Reggiano.
@@JasonMenayan : It's still a bit painful.
Now I’m hungry. I love Italian food. ❤️🍕
Pistacchi are so freaking good, I don't know if it's sold outside of Italy but we have a kind of pistacchio cream that you can spread on breat, kind of like nutella
I would have been wrong and said "brooshetta" too. "sch" is "shhh" in German and American English, except for the word "schedule", for some reason. It's good to know if I travel to Italy, I might explain my last name pronunciation as "Reiscil".
I think Callie's Italian pronunciation is pretty solid after a couple tries. I'd like to think those of us from around the Great Lakes catch on quicker than the average American.
School, scholar, scheme, schizophrenia, schism - those are just off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are other English words where "sch" is pronounced like "sk". And in the UK, people pronounce schedule as "shed-yule".
@@antoniosoul Yeah, that's weird, but true, and the Brits still have the "sk" for school. It's no wonder people who don't speak English find it difficult to learn.
@@antoniosoul All words derived from greek or latin pronounce "sch" like "sk".
Google translate say skejul. I think this is the correct pronounciation
@@antoniosoul yeah. And the reason is quite original: there’s a lot of videos about that.
The D instead of T is an American thing as far as I know, in England we'd either say a true T or no T at all
Like in "whatever", I was confused when I started learning English 😂
I say it with a glottal stop (like a silent T) so yeah... some of those words I would say quite differently to an American
@@christopherdavis1066 well same basically when I'm not articulating (that's what I meant by no T at all), we can't just take one accent from one place and speak on behalf of every English speaker but I guess it was just more convenient cuz they can't bring a person from every English speaking place just like that
@@noone-tq7cs yes true... that was so confusing when RUclips told me that no one replied
Yes it's an american accent thing, english pronounciation varies quite a lot from country to country
I asked Italian friends (Parma) about pasta with a spoon and they told me it depends on the family habit ... also "pasta bolognese" is not very common in Italy, as it is supposed to be "pasta al ragù", that was made very clear 🙂
Actually not. I am italian and no italian ever eats pasta with fork and spoon, just fork. Never seen one in all of my life (only tourists do that).
We use spoon only for soups.
Yes, I confirm, in Italy we don’t call the pasta “bolognese”, but “al ragù”. Ragù is the sauce, “al” means “with”
I ❤️ both ladies!! I would love to participate as an American Spanish-speaker.
This is a really good examination of language.
From a video like this i realize for the first time that doubles sound like double T or P are made with a little pause before the letter... and nothing, that's not so easy to pronounce, and that's why italian sound musical, because there are so many different pause that's changing the rithm.
GRAZIE! Foreigners drive me insane with these.
Those videos are always fun. It's interesting to compare how well languages do with foreign words and it's honestly hillarious how right German can be but then there are things that are completely different. Mostly it comes down on the emphasis of the syllabes through and the rolling of the 'r' which is more of a bavarian thing that most other Germans can't do well.
grazie per questa piccola lezione di pronuncia.
I'm italian, and when i heard the pronounce of bruschetta i died inside😢
Jordy, potresti chiedere alla tua amica se trova difficoltà nel pronunciare la parola "aiuole". Ho conosciuto una persona che conosceva 5 lingue e che questa parola lo metteva in difficoltà con tutte le vocali. Complimenti a voi per la simpatia😉
prova a pronunciare (in pronuncia spagnola) «ñiñeti»
2:58 that is in US and AUS. In the UK we pronounce the Ts
I love their chemistry😍

Molto divertenti i vostri video !
Wow what a nice video. Thanks 😊 to the world friend channel . Thank u again for creating this video
at this point I think that the algorithm thinks that I speak english and I'm trying to learn Italian, and not the contrary.
I love how people used and probably still do think that robots are going to take over the world.
Jordy has such a strong north italian pronunciation, the sicilian half in me is dying inside :'D
Hi guys!
I want to sugest videos comparing brazilian portuguese with italian/spanish
Mi sto spaccando dalle risate 🤣
What about 'parmigiano'? Americans pronounce it 'parmazhaan' (zh as in 'leisure') but in Italian 'gi' is pronounced 'j', as in jump. In the UK we opt out and call it 'parmesan'!
We call it "parmesan" here in Norway too so I think we might've borrowed that idea from the UK because we found it easier to call it that than the other variants.
Parmigiano Reggiano is the proper name of a specific cheese, parmesan is moreso just a translation that's used for several similar cheeses afaik. We say parmesan in Sweden too so it's probably just a translation that makes it easier in our languages.
In Brasil we use parmesão and parmegiana
Par-mee-ja-no
@@DidrickNamtvedt As an Italian I must say that in the world they often use the term "Parmesan". But it doesn't always correspond to our original “Parmigiano Reggiano”. It is often a fake "Parmigiano" (especially the grated one in a bag). The original Parmigiano Reggiano has its name branded on the rind, as does "Grana Padano" which is similar to Parmigiano, but with a slightly different taste and even cheaper. Parmigiano Reggiano is always more expensive than Grana Padano.
I never been to Italy at all but I will be going to Italy in January
In England we would say gelato different than America. They seem to make the T sound like a D which we don't do.
I hear 'Lamborghini' often being mispronounced as 'Lambordzjeenee'
Exactly. I am not Italian, but it drives me crazy too
I am Italian and also an Italian teacher and I live here in Germany. For many years the Germans here have pronounced the name Lamborghini in that wrong way. It seems that now, in recent years, they have finally understood how to pronounce the famous brand known all over the world.
Callie so great as usual
It’s usually just Americans 🇺🇸 that “get lazy” & pronounce T’s as D’s, I think it’s probably to do with the accent & how you’re brought up. Also I have lots of trouble with R’s in Italian 😅
Sì ok ma siete mai stati a Catanzaro Lido?
You guys are adorable.
Don't really speak Italian but have some grasps of how their letters pronounced
Zz = tz
S = z
C/cc = ch
Gn = ny (ñ / nh)
The "ng" easy to pronounce as it has the same sound corresponds with digraph "ny" in my language, which is Malay, maybe if our linguistics authority try to respell and arrange the spelling of Italian words that borrowed via English, would be easier in pronunciation and spelling for us, e.g;
Gnocchi = Nyoki
Lasagne = lazanya
In fact "z" can be pronounced in two different ways, as "tz" or as "dz", depending on the word. Be careful especially with double letters. "penne" and "pene" are really two different things 😀
The letter "S" has two pronunciation: like english [z] and [s].
It's [z] between two vowels or before a voiced consonant (like b, d, g, v, m, n, l), [s] otherwise.
it's "gn" not "ng"
Gn is not the same as ng lmao ng is pronounced differently
In our "received pronunciation", in some cases s is supposed to be pronounced "z" (like in "loser"), while in some cases it's supposed to be pronounced "s" (like in "silver"). However, in Rome we don't have that difference! For us, s is never pronounced "z", it's always "s" like in "silver"
To be fair, the English language has swiped many words from other languages and made them their own kinda. So while it may be the wrong pronunciation for the language it was taken from it’s not necessarily in English, but still very interesting to see the differences
in this particular instance, the Italian immigrants to the US brought mostly southern Italian dialects that have died out over in italy. The way americans learned to pronounce italian words arent as wrong as modern Italian people tend to think.
è in realtà una prerogativa dell'inglese, dello spagnolo e del giapponese, per fare tre esempi, quella di prendere parole straniere e pronunciarle seguendo le regole della propria lingua e non di quella originale. noi usiamo inglesismi da decenni come computer, bar e cocktail ad esempio ma non li leggiamo come se fossero parole italiane, ma cerchiamo di "imitare" la pronuncia originale (pur ovviamente non articolando nello stesso modo quindi diciamo "com-pyu-teR" e non "com-pu-teR" ma di certo non "kuhm·pyoo·tuh". emblematico il caso di "stage", inteso come periodo di lavoro formativo: fino a 20 anni fa si pronunciava all'inglese (steig con la g dolce), e sembrava si parlasse di "palco", poi piano piano si è iniziata ad usare la pronuncia francese (sta-jz) perché l'origine del termine era appunto francofona.
@@qiqqo Ogni volta che sento la gente usare la forma francese di stage, gli occhi mi si rigirano fin dentro la testa, LOL
@@Alex.Holland I am from southern Italy. What am I reading? my eyes are bleading. Believe me these pronounciations are wrong. They're not even words in dialect, they're in Italian so what are you balbbering about? Plus, yes, the dialcts aren't as popular since they're not the first language anymore, but that doesn't mean they disappeared
@@RandomPerson-de8zp the USA has had tens of millions of Italian immigrants, and even today Italian is the 8th most commonly spoken language in the US. Italy was not yet a country when most of these people came to the USA in the 1800s, and in fact most of them never spoke "Italian" at all. They spoke italo-dalmatian dialects that are no longer spoken in Italy. It's their influence that formed how Americans speak Italian loan words, we never looked towards the nation of Italy for pronunciation until very recently. Its well known that the way Americans speak Italian drives modern Italians crazy. Just like how American style Chinese food drives modern Chinese crazy.
3:17 "What time is it today?" well that doesn't narrow it down by much
"you've been getting wrong" zio ne dubito

in the UK they would pronounce the t in gelato
Not in those many parts of the UK where they replace "t"s with a glottal stop.
E poi ci sono i fiorentini che per rendere il tutto più fluido anziché GELATO O GELADO dicono GELAHO..
non ci sono C nella parola gelato, quindi i fiorentini nun c'azzeccano proprio
@@belgravia85 beh la Giorgia Toscana (la famosa C aspirata) in realtà non riguarda solo la C bensì coinvolge anke la T e in misura minore anke la P.. Inoltre la C non viene sempre aspirata: dipende se è all'inizio, se è doppia e tanti altri fattori.. La parlata fiorentina che hai sentito è solo una caricatura di quella che realmente è..
Più che "geltaho" mi suona come "gelatho" con il th inglese.
Similar to Spanish, is it easier for English speakers if you say that the vowels are always pronounced and they have their own singular sound to them... Yes?
2:56 actually that's American English. Not the entire English language thing. British people won't pronounce GelaDo, they will pronounce GelaTo with T.
Or gela'o...😜
In my experience (California) most Americans do pronounce the T in gelato. Subbing in a D sounds lazy and wrong, but it wouldn't be surprising in the midwest.
I think this is a generalization because I’m American and have always pronounced it gelaTO not DO. most people I’ve meant from England rarely pronounce t’s in the middle of words and would say gela’o. That’s not to say all English people speak this way but some do.
@@gregmuon I spend most of my childhood in California and I’ve always said gelato like a t. I don’t ever recall hearing it as a d. I think these might be Callie’s accent kicking in. Since moving to the MW one thing I notice is that most people I encounter use ya for you and your. “How are ya? Where did ya meet ya wife”. And this has been people from different walks of life. I was in a work meeting recently and someone said to another person “We can’t hear ya” whereas I would say “We can’t hear you.” Of course, I believe people are free to speak how they like.
@@anndeecosita3586 Yep, people are pretty good with the T here in California. As an Italian American, what rankles me is nobody *ever* gets the pronunciation for "risotto" or "gnocchi" even remotely close to correct. There's a good subject for a future video World Friends! 😁
next video with the name of the cities?
Any other English speakers cringing when they say "in English" but you don't pronounce anything like that because you're not American? But I'm still gonna watch all of these haha, interesting either way.
I was waiting for the word "gnocchi"!
Okay but the example she made for the CE and CIE difference is kinda weird; she could've compared words like CECO (Chzech) and CIECO (blind) which have just a one letter difference and they're pronounced the exact same way, unlike CECIO and CIECO (her example). So ultimately her example has nothing to do with the "same pronounciation, different meaning" thing.
I know, nobody cares, but it was bothering me A LOT and I had to say something about it.
L'ho notato anch'io. Non era per niente calzante come esempio, ha solo aumentato la mia confusione.

viva la LASAÑA (spanish pronunciation)
Maar-ga-ree-tttiiiiiii :DDDD
This video put me a smile on my face 😄
The pronunciation got better and better and it's nice to see you learning the pronunciation with an actual native Italian speaker!
I'll give you some words that may be a little difficult to guess their pronunciation:
Soqquadro: /sokˈkwa.dro/ (meaning: disorder, chaos, mayhem)
Compagnia: /kom.paɲˈɲi.a/ (meaning: company). Do not pronounce it /komˈpaɲ.ɲa/, that is a female companion.
Schema: /ˈskɛ.ma/ (meaning: schema, outline). Do not pronounce it /ˈʃe.ma/, that is a way to refer to a silly, stupid female.
Attimo: /ˈat.ti.mo/ (meaning: moment, instant). In this word, the accent is on the first vowel.
Pagliaccio: /paʎˈʎat.t͡ʃo/ (meaning: clown).
Accento: /atˈt͡ʃɛn.to/ (meaning: accent). Take care to not read it /ˈaksɛnto/: the double "c" in italian isn't read /ks/, but /kˈk/ when followed by the vowels "e" or "i", or /tˈt͡ʃ/ in the other cases.
I can understand callie for usonians people, letters and sounds from latines idioms are very hard like, Ng, Ñ, ll, Ss, RR, Ch, Sh, Ç in latine pronounciation. Usonian person are germanic person, in english they don't have theses letter and sounds. For them it's tuff to reproducció our speeches.
Ceco cieco (blind Czech)
Came here for pepperoni that has nothing to do with salame ... I wonder how dumb were the first people to call salame pepperoni (peperoni means chili peppers)
Pistacchio like "Pinocchio" ...
"Linguine allo scoglio" with seafood 🤤🤤🤤
I pronounce gelato lasagna linguine how the Italian womens said I never thought I said it differently to people here in the USA
Pistacchio ...in home video manca una c🤣
6:14 Never correct an Italian when it comes to food.
D instead of T sound is not inherently "english", is the US pronunciation of english.
Alla r moscia sono morta 😂😂😂
All of them probably
Fun video, but perhaps the sound needs to be checked. Callie sounds very soft (and I have the volume at the loudest). Especially with the background music it is a bit more difficult to hear.

L'italiano può avere una grammatica da incubo per gli stranieri ma come pronuncia siamo molto diretti, pocchissime regole ed eccezioni (tipo appunto CH SC con I e E). NOn capisco perchè in inglese cambiano le lettere....T che divenda D, oppure parole scritte uguali salvo che per una lettera, e che poi si pronunciano diversamente tipo HEAD (HED testa) e LEAD (LID, condurre) o HEAR (HIAR ascoltare)....ovviamente quello che ho scritto come pronuncia va cmq dtto all'inglese e non detto all'italiana eh, ma boh...stesse lettere o quasi..e pronunce diverse. Da noi non succede.

Gelato vs GelaDOU.😬😬😬😬 What's wrong with the T?

In English pistachio only has one “c” (they sort of overlooked this in the video although not sure how much it matters) and also came into the language through French whereas Pinocchio is straight from Italian.
