Zucchini is a different problem. It's...Ah, yes. Zucchini is a different problem. It's how American's mispronounce an Italian word. The Brits don't use zucchini, so it is an American thing. In Italian, the singular of the vegetable is zucchina; the plural is zucchine. Zucchino means little pumpkin while zucchini is the plural, little pumpkins. And since vowels are so important in Italian, even unaccented ones are enunciated clearly while we say "uh" for most unaccented vowels.Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-7110653554837564652011-07-13T17:36:16.668+02:002011-07-13T17:36:16.668+02:00Love the Titty Bar!

My last lesson in Italian pronunciation was on a trip to Italy where a very patient (or maybe not!) server at a buffet style restaurant corrected my pronunciation of Pollo (I used my Tex-Tex variation with the ll sounding like y). She didn't care for how I pronounced zucchini either.<br /><br />I'm printing out this blog so I can practice before I go back again one day. <br />Thanks for the lessons,<br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-32766437265128844012011-07-13T17:04:59.461+02:002011-07-13T17:04:59.461+02:00Italians do tend to pronounce the "W" li...Italians do tend to pronounce the "W" like a "V." There is no "W" in the Italian alphabet, which has only 21 letters (missing are j, k, u, w and x). There is a "W" sound in Italian. It's made with the letters UO and is used in the words uomo (man) and uovo (egg).Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-75046483448418623592011-07-13T16:37:57.762+02:002011-07-13T16:37:57.762+02:00English vowels are a problem for many non-English ...English vowels are a problem for many non-English speakers. My Iranian husband has great difficulty with them even though Persian also has variations in vowel sounds (which give me trouble, too). I find it interesting that Italians ignore "w". That is a rare sound in many languages, but often people get around the difficulty by pronouncing it like a "v".Heidi Noroozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351899620446316075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-38540618980291059772011-07-13T16:21:47.742+02:002011-07-13T16:21:47.742+02:00Actually, Anna, we teach two different pronunciati...Actually, Anna, we teach two different pronunciations for the th sound. In one, like thumb, the tongue does touch the back of the front teeth. With the second, like mother, the tongue extends beyond the two front teeth and touches them. I think this is too complex for most Italian speakers, so I just focus on one.Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-28010616564842746142011-07-13T15:55:09.286+02:002011-07-13T15:55:09.286+02:00When people try to explain how to pronounce the TH...When people try to explain how to pronounce the TH sound, they usually stick their tongue out.

I didn't know vowel sounds are consistent (what a novel idea!) or about the tw being difficult. The Titty Bar sounds like a place in my hometown with a less interesting name. Small world, isn't it?<br />How about CI, as in Civitavecchia? Is it pronounced SHE or SEE? I always wonder about those things.
