As a person who has studied linguistic, I can tell you this is completely normal when you infuse words from other languages into your language. The new words will follow the 'rules' or 'patterns' of your language. When I was in graduate school we were given languages and we were told to analyze them to determine the patterns using the international phonetic chart. It was actually fun! I learned a lot about my native tongue. For example when do you pronounce the letter s in English as a 'z' or as an 's' sound. We say 'boyz' not 'boys." Sounds like our pronunciation of Italian words can be annoying to native Italian speakers. Sorry Marco! I'll try harder:) I have to admit, my father often doesn't understand me when I try to speak Italian with him. Thanks for the fun videos.

Spanish is literally pronounced as it is written, probably it is simpler than Italian, we don’t even have 7 vowels, we just have five.

[@anthonycorpuz1815]

Surprised when he said that. Agree with the vowel simplicity. Orthographally, Spanish makes just a little bit more sense, like Spanish 'll' vs Italian 'gl'. Although, Italian does have lots of double consonants and its rules with those are consistent. A better comparison could be Spanish 'ñ' vs Italian 'gn'. Both are easy to remember, though. Both share some peculiarities, like Spanish 'que, qui' and Italian 'che, chi', and these both make logical sense in their respective languages. Compared to other orthographies, both are very simple and easy to remember.

[@axiomist1076]

Wow, it's so refreshing to see somebody using "literally" correctly ! The new fad of using it to give emphasis (not knowing what it means) drives me nuts. Thank you, oh, literate person .

Italian is not that hard, I took Italian and it was piece of cake. They don't have 7 vowels that's only 5 like us, but two of them the sounds changes just like English. The alphabet has 5 vowels, but each vowels has a long and a short sounds even some consonants has two sounds. I think English is hard compare to Italian and Spanish 😁

@@dandroner wait, don't forget that the primary reason a language exists is for communication, not for writing poetry. So, if some folks say, "YOU IS" instead of "YOU ARE" or "you have went too far" insteaf of "you have gone too far," even if it might shock our ears, anthropologically speaking, that person has the valud justification to say that. And that's because they learned the language from those folks with whom he grew up. And they speak English. Imagine mispronouncing any foreign word of which we had no Marco in YT teaching us the right pronunciation. The best we have for regerence is our own language and hope for the best.

Haha! You guys are fun! If I may, here's a good tip for pronouncing Italian double consonants that helped me when I studied Italian (long ago). Pronounce them as though the first one is the last letter of one word, and the second one the first letter of the next word. For example "top pick" vs "topic" gives you the Italian pp, "hat trick" for the Italian tt, "call later" for the Italian ll, etc. Works like a charm!

Ok, I'm a proud Italian-American who also speaks Portuguese and Spanish... While my Italian is far from perfect, I have to say that all of those most common words I actually pronounce correctly! (Yeay, me!) because my Grandma was worse than freaking Mussolini when it came to pronunciation -- Too bad she was so tyrannical about it because I grew up with an automatic repulsion for Italian because it was such a source of reprimands and mockery... Years later, I wish I would've learned it from the sweet and charismatic nonna that most people picture Italian grandmothers to be -- Oh, well! Such is life!

[@sandroribeiro7644]

ejnava01 Which Portuguese you speak Brazilian or European? there is a lot of differences between them.

[@ejnava01]

Sandro Ribeiro -- I speak European Portuguese as my mother's family has roots in Algarve. However, over the years, I've been accused of sounding Brazilian... I believe this is due to the fact that there are few Portuguese in the city where I currently live and there are no large Luso-American communities like in the NE U.S. where I come from. Having said that, I have zero issues understanding either :)

[@sandroribeiro7644]

ejnava01 se dizem que pareces um brasileira é porque são ignorantes em português e nem diferenciar sotaques que são completamente diferentes visto que nós portugueses falamos como russos para muitos e que os brasileiros falam com a boca aberta e até têm a mania de substituir a última consoante por u como na palavra Portugal ou legal e também substituem algumas letras por CH em fonia como na palavra gente. Concluindo só se tu assim falares é que soa como brasileiro.

[@ejnava01]

Sandro Ribeiro -- I completely agree with you and your examples of the differences in pronunciation. Incidentally, the ones that accused me of "sounding Brazilian" were my own family members while having dinner in Albufeira... It probably has much to do with intonation rather than the examples you gave as not all Brazilians speak with those particular characteristics. Personally, I was not offended as I am aware that almost all of the Portuguese that I speak here in Miami is with Brazilians, thus maybe a little has stuck. Lastly, given that English is my native tongue, I'm supposed to have an accent when I speak Portuguese or Italian :) Thanks for your reply and for an interesting conversation... Have a terrific day! :D

+federico virgili (yofede88)anche se nell'uso moderno vale per tutti e due i sessi non cambia il fatto che la parola Andrea deriva dal greco 'ανέρ,'ανδρός ( anèr, andròs) che significa uomo...è la radice dal quale derivano parole come antropico (fatto dall'uomo)

[@emaravi94]

+Lindas R. In realtà la parola antropico ha come radice άνθρωπος, ανθρώπου (anthropos, anthropou) che significa essere umano. Infatti "antropico" significa "fatto dall'uomo, inteso come essere umano" e non "fatto da un maschio". Ανήρ, ανδρός significa uomo maschio ed è da questa parola che deriva il nome Andrea o altre parole come "andrologia" riferite all'uomo maschio e non all'uomo essere umano.

[@laurach.5550]

si ma viene dal greco antico aner/ andros che significa uomo, maschio. Andrea è perciò un nome maschile.

[@catalinaacevedo5170]

This is the moment that i feel powerful just because i pronounced by spanish and not from english, so there're a lot of words that i got correct, i guess it's an advantage to have spanish as a mother languaje when you are learning italian

[@andresjurado4254]

jb hann try to talk with a pencil inside your mouth, that helps kids who can't pronounce words correctly in Spanish (so it must be helpful in Italian too because we use the same R sound)

[@jbhann]

Andrés Jurado ...are you joking with me about the pencil thing? I have to look this one up, because it seems like a ploy to make a U.S. citizen look even more foolish than what we already are. If it's a joke, it's pretty clever. I can just envision me trying this within eyesight of another person. The police would be called and I would later find myself sitting alone in a padded room. If there's truth to this technique, than thank you for the advice.

[@andresjurado4254]

jb hann hahahaha just don't do it in public. The advise is true, but don't put the pencil like if you were about to eat it. Grab the pencil like a dog grabs a bone with its mouth. That will help with pronounciation in general, then try to imitate a car (rrrrrrr). Do it everyday, it should only take a week until you get it right

[@felicitasandermann9926]

Io abito negli Stati Uniti - ti capisco. A volte non ce la faccio più e li lascio al proprio barbarismo.

[@iTube22100]

... bandiera bianca ahahahahha Certo anche noi facciamo strage dell'inglese, peggio degli americani ? ehm Ma siamo parzialmente giustificati dal fatto che essendo una lingua barbara (credo non esistano altre lingue così imprecise) non si sa mai come pronunciare (c come c o c some s ? e come e o e come i ? i come i o i come ai ? ecc. ecc.) Con l'italiano invece non si scappa, come dice Marco, basta imparare quelle poche regole e non puoi sbagliare. Mi chiedo poi quale sia la difficoltà nell'emettere un suono come "o" ben più facile del loro "ou" oppure "a" in confronto al loro "ae" che non si sa mai quando è "a" o quando è "ae" nelle diverse sfumature.... o su quale sillaba va l'accento tonico.

I enjoyed this video because I speak italian pretty well. I'm Romanian and we have lots of similar words. Our phonology is pretty similar and one important thing we have in common with Italian (and Spanish too) is that we pronounce every single vowel and consonant; each sound has its own letter. So I find it very easy to read and speak italian. Amo l'italiano.

[@iota-09]

Raxio ra presumibilmente viene dalla parola "pepper" il "oni" non l'ho mai capito però...

[@iota-09]

mi correggo, proviene effettivamente da peperoni, ma per dio solo sa quale ragione hanno deciso di aggiungerci unaP da wiki eng: "The term "pepperoni" is a borrowing of peperoni, the plural of peperone, the Italian word for bell pepper. The first use of "pepperoni" to refer to a sausage dates to 1919.[4] Even if in Italian the word is plural (like the Italian word salami, plural of salame), the English word pepperoni is used as a singular uncountable noun.[citation needed] In Italian, the word peperoncino (diminutive of peperone) only refers to hot and spicy peppers, or sometimes to small, sweet kinds, while peperoni refers only to sweet peppers, such as bell peppers.[citation needed]" ergo mi fa pensare che hanno detto "hmm, i peperoni son grossi, e i peperonici piccaniti? allora chiamalo "pepperoni": grossi e piccanti!" poco sanno però, che è solo uno dei nomi più ridicoli della storia del cibo...

[@lilalove7804]

Hathorys no non avete capito, in inglese "pepperoni" è il salame, parole differenti per dire la stessa cosa, come dire gelato e ice cream. Peperoni in inglese si dice peppers.
