    I love how Jordy explained the "erre moscia" just by doing a floppy noodle impression ahahahahha
    Also, it's okay to say - pizza margherita - all together if people don't know what you're talking about because "margherita" by itself originally means "daisy" (and like the English version it can also be used as a female name). That is, if you're in a restaurant or a pizzeria of course they will understand you don't want to eat a 🌼 if you just order a margherita without saying "pizza" in front of it 😂
    Fun fact: the classic "pizza margherita" actually takes the name from Queen Margherita of Savoy (according to legend - and Wikipedia confirms it happened around 1889) and the red tomatoes, green basil, and white cheese represent the Italian flag 💚🤍❤️

And since pasta lunga isn't my favourite, I don't really feel like learning the elegant way to eat it. No waiter watched me strangely at my request for a spoon. It's more polite to eat with my fellow diners, without making them wait I finish my dish while they want to get coffe. My clumsiness shouldn't make my friends wait for me.

    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)

    • @bluevoltage5276
      @bluevoltage5276 Před rokem +3

      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!

      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.

      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.

      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.

They spoke italo-dalmatian dialects that are no longer spoken in Italy.

    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;

    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.
