Italian words you've been getting wrong

[@palmacate]

Is there any Italian word you’d like to know how to pronounce? 🙋‍♀️🇮🇹

[@JoannGattman]

Apparently after 47 years of living with an Italian, I am still an English speaker!🤣 Thanks for the help. Please forgive me when I say it wrong in the future.🤷🏼‍♀️❤️

I know it’s very difficult to pronounce foreign words 🥹♥️

Gn=NJ Njoki, Brusketa, Margarita is Mistake i often make. Italian is very easy to pronounce but i personely don't know to actually speak it completely still there is a thing with Americans not saying non English words as they are said in their natural form, for example there is a name Maja that is very popular in south east Europe and they say it Maha,Maža but it is actually "Maya" just like Maya people from Mexico. Nj,Lj,Ž,Č,Ć,Đ,Dž which don't exist in Italian but they do in many other languges in Europe are impossible task for English speakers so GN being hard is nothing strange, actually being hard for English speaker is almost as natural as being easy for Italian speaker to know how to sad it right.

Thank you for the food vlog. Do you have rizoto in Italy, if so how do you write it rissoto and pronounce with s or z ?

[@palmacate]

Thanks for your comment! We write 'risotto' - be ready for this: northern regions pronounce 'z', central and southern regions say 's'. Which one is correct? According to official dictionaries, originally (in Latin) 's' between vowels was pronounced 's'. However, Italian language developed this s/z difference. They are currently both accepted.

@@palmacate Nice one. I like both !

Ajajaj, my mother is gonna say noči and doesn’t matter how many times i or my husband(Italian) correct her. For her is just that way but other words she can pronounce so don’t really know what’s the matter with her. But so many times we heard mistakes when it comes to Italian words that by now we just laugh and that’s it.

You should switch back to Latin, it had more logical spelling. 🙂If I get it correctly than GH combination is pronounce just like G and only G is more close to J in English, I don't like using digraphs that change surrounding letter's pronunciation, why you can't just writte PROŠUTO like normal people? Just accept Czech alphabet. 😀 I thought that Spanish people have siesta, but here in Czechia, we tend to use it generally to make fun of "lazy south europeans." I hope you are not offended, I would say that only French people are actually lazy. 😀 Yeah, CE at the end of words, I know it because I work for furniture company and we copy designs in Italy even with your names, I hate it that we can't make our own design, but it is how it is, our owner just goes to Milan to a furniture showcase, take some pictures and then says "make it" to us, it's actually easier to design your own thing than copy something from picture, we always make things that were populare like 10 years ago in west and it already looks outdated. 😀

I loved this comment, we don’t have these accents on words that’s why! Indeed so many furniture shops and food shops have Italian names. And they don’t exist in Italy! I wonder if people really believe they are Italian 😅

[@palmacate]

GH is pronounced as hard g, like the g in garden

[@Pidalin]

@@palmacate I honestly absolutely hate that our owners and bosses think that steal something from other country instead of creating our own stuff is a good idea, that's why we are still east by mentality. We should finally stop doing this. But our cuisine is just sauerkraut that someone already ate and then vommited back to the plate, I kind of understand it why they do it with food. 🙂

I see you finally got tired of Slovaks mispronouncing Italian words.😆😆

[@palmacate]

Not only Slovaks 😂 anyway I’m kidding, I thought it would be nice to make such a video to teach the most common mispronounced words 😊
