How Is the Word CALZONE Pronounced?

[@CountryLongboarding]

James’s “I Don’t Know” speech is the truth that needs to be taught day in day out in the states 🇨🇦

[@jedidiahm6437]

No lie he went from I'd be so nervous I couldn't talk if I met the crew but now I feel like I could have a beer with them lmao

[@MassimoLuraschi]

PREACH James, PREACH! First you come up with protecting the origin of Calzone as an *Italian* word that got munched up and appropriated by the US Then you call yourself "European" (first UK citizen I've known to say that, it's always "oh but you guys in Europe...", like "wtf you talking about, UK IS part of Europe, weather you like it or not!") And then, the FINISH 'EM fatality, the tirade about US, WWII, "open up your views, accept you may not know". Just 🙌

The rest of us are like, "Guys WHAT is going on?"

@@sophsmovies - I will do my best. It's an uphill battle here. Too many healthcare insurance company share holders making too much money to switch to UHC even though we are dead last in the top 15 nations in most money spent and least quality of care received. We are stubborn to our own detriment. It's a global economy and if we go down.....everybody goes down. Plus, the MAGA's want some authoritarian utopia with Trump as emperor.

As an italian I couldn’t stop laughing at the calzone bit. They all forgot to pronounce the „L“ in calzone and accentuated the „Z“, which transforms the word „calzone“ into „cazzone“, italian for „big dick“… sorry for the crude language, but that’s what I hear... LOL

[@penguinista]

That is hilarious! Thank you for taking the time to explain that so clearly. It adds a delicious extra layer of comedy to an already hilarious exchange. It would be great if James' mispronunciation of 'Nevada' was also vulgar in some language.

[@KatrynaCeniza]

Re: CALZONE: As an Italian i feel it’s my duty to say: don’t stress that “o” so much, it’s shorter than that but make sure you pronounce that L, because omg you definitely don’t want to say CAZZONE 😅

[@damightyshabba439]

Not showing off, but I'm just a white guy from London - I've always said Cal-zone-E. Never occurred to me to say it differently. I was actually surprised to see other's have different pronunciations. But, its worth remembering just how cosmo London is - I don't think there is a nation that is NOT represented here..... so we almost speak "Blade Runner" language...

[@Snappldel]

[@YeeSoest]

One of the very few advantages of being a german: We have most of the Umlauts, Diphtongs, Phonetics, the "ch" and "sch" sounds of roman, hebrew, russian and arab languages so we can pronounce Calzone, Marseille, Hannukah, Wladiwostok and Baghdad in a somewhat credible way. But yes, ve do struggle mightily wis ze english längüage, admittedly

[@janehan1153]

[@nancysanchez7458]

Ahh man! I was expecting someone to lay on the couch!!! 😂😂 Great show 👏🏼❤️

[@challalla]

Calzone comes from the Neapolitan word cazone [kaˈtsonə], with a final indistinct schwa vowel. Calzone [kalˈtsone] is the corresponding word in Italian with a fuller final vowel as is typical for the language (technically, Neapolitan and Italian are separate languages). The popular American pronunciation as cal-ZONE [kælˈzoʊn] might come from Sicilian speakers pronouncing the Italian word calzone, Sicilian itself being a separate language that was spoken by lots of immigrants to North America (most people in southern Italy didn't grow up speaking Italian until after the relatively late unification of Italy). The same Sicilian accent is responsible for names like Capone and Stallone rhyming with bone in English. In the UK meanwhile, they went for a halfway imitation of the Italian pronunciation, with "z" pronounced as in English. So the pronunciation you use in English simply depends on which pronunciation you take as the source. No one is using the original Neapolitan pronunciation, though.

[@beng1lh00ly]

james on america is so on point!

[@ethanlmoulton]

I mean James was closer with the pronunciation of Nevada. The state was named by the Spanish using a Spanish word, so a Spanish pronunciation would be more accurate than the American version. Though, only his -ada was said correctly, but that's also the part he was being corrected on.

[@mirandadonovan1272]

Yes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH3SZaRsfbisrck

[@Delboy0]

So correct. James is pronouncing the correct Spanish way.

[@melaniegatton]

Good point. But I think it only matters how the current residents pronounce it, because language is fluid. I lived in Terre Haute, Indiana for a few years, which is a French name from the 1700’s. But the current residents don’t pronounce it in French. They pronounce it with their dialect. I also lived in a area called Topsail in North Carolina, also named in the 1700’s. And the current residents definitely don’t pronounce it the way it was pronounced in the 1700’s.

[@deadshot8077]

@@melaniegatton saying “language is fluid” just means that you believe so many people are dumbasses that you might as well go along with their mistakes.

[@kenc2257]

Nope. Several US states have names derived from the Spanish language (like California, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado). No one uses a strict "Spanish" pronunciation when talking about these states. Same goes for US cities (San Diego, Los Angeles, San Antonio, etc.). To a certain extent, ALL of these names have been 'Americanized.' Things change over time...

[@hotdamndan9892]

Ok, considering James grew up in Europe and was exposed to countless Italians in his life and career,. I'm gonna bet Calzone been said in one of their conversations before and how an Italian pronounce an Italian word, that's the right pronunciation.
