Who’s her from mattiapolibio’s video
MEE!!
Me😤
How To game LMFAO ME
Me lmao
AYYY
You make my italian heart cry....
Why? I’m sharing with Americans the words they’re mispronouncing and how they SHOULD be pronouncing them.
@@sofiesworld because you are very pretty , that's what he meant lol
Per fortuna che ha messo la vera pronuncia
Alessandro Franchi sti americani io boh
@@lorenzobacchiocchi7112 😂😂
Who here’s from a TikTok?
whats the name of the girl who uses this video in her tik tok again? she's just as aggressive as the girl in this youtube video
Here 🙄
Anthony Dellios it was a username account so no name
😂😂ME
Me
i’m italian and this misspelling is triggering me so badddd
Mi fa venire il cancro alle orecchie 😂
I am not Italian yet it somehow triggered me
I feel like I'm at Olive Garden or some shit
Did you have to look up how to spell your comment in english?
The only reason why they do that. Is because as people that mainly speak one language "english" Americans cant say the word if its not spelled like an English word.
Who the hell even says “gnocchi” like “gah-nockie” lmao
I know right?
Ciao a tutti gli italiani qui! Vorreste vedere altri video cosi? Ci sono altre parole che gli americani pronunciano male? Fatemi sapere!😘
Ciao, sono un po' in ritardo quì nei commenti 😅, ma ti volevo dire 2 cose: Quello che hai detto sui ravioli non è del tutto corretto: la forma al singolare viene usata nei ristoranti con molte cose, per esempio "uno spaghetto alle cozze, uno gnocco al sugo...." infatti in ambito casalingo si usa solo il plurale, sempre parlando dei ravioli la pronuncia non era totalmente corretta ma non credo di ruscirtelo a spiegare quì😅. Cmq bellissimo video hai veramente un ottimo italiano, io spesso nei giochi online traumatizzavo i miei compagni di squadra dicendogli come si pronunciavano le varie cose ed il vero significato di peperoni 🤣
Edit: La vero forma corretta sarebbe "caffè espresso, nn viene mai chiamato senza il caffé davanti ☕"
I don't understand why americans spell Pinocchio with the right "cchio" sound while spelling pistacchio wrong...just think of Pinocchio and say Pistacchio.
Because pistachio isn't even a word taken from Italian... It's a type of nut that doesn't even originate from Italy
Hollo Hullu You’re wrong, if you search for the English etymology of the word “pistachio”, you’ll find that it was taken from the Italian language
@@donstrudel1564 Actually it comes from old french which took it from Italian which took it from Greek which took it from Persian, so should we pronounce it the Persian way? And even then, it's a loan word, loan words aren't pronounced as if they were a foreign word, they're pronounced like a native word to the language, there is a reason people pronounce pistachio the way they do.
Hollo Hullu In Ancient Greek, Latin, Italian(and I’m pretty sure old French too) it was pronounced with a strong K sound, the English version is the only one that differs. I never said that it is supposed to be pronounced as the language from where you took it from, I said that the modern word was taken directly from the Italian of the 16th century, while you said that “it isn’t even taken from Italian”
@@donstrudel1564 It isn't, it's taken from French, and the strong k is just more difficult for say for an English speaker than the soft pistachio
Why does this feel so aggressive lol
Emily Jackson It really is 😬😂
@@nataliapalomino7977 mori❤️😂
Because we have to speak a perfect English and you can’t speak Italian one word in the right way.
@@emmabrayon1395 Love for you
I'm Italian and I think you defentively made justice to our beautiful and blessed language. THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU! GRAZIE! (Pronounced: "GRAZIE").
I don't speak Italian, but as a coffee lover "EXpresso" drives me absolutely crazy! It doesn't even make sense, since we spell it "espresso" in English too 😂
Haha right?!😓
Andrea Heckler Expresso drives me crazy too . I’m a Italian living in England and I know how to pronounce Espresso
It should not drive you crazy because espresso is actually the italian word for express in english. The coffee was named express (in italian) because of the quick brewing method. So expresso in english is not entirely arbitrary, as express is a direct and proper translation.
@ivan abcdefg I see where you’re coming from, however the “expresso” pronunciation still bugs me. If you want to translate it, sure, say “express coffee”. I have nothing wrong against it. However if you’re reading or meaning “espresso” then it should be pronounced “espresso”, no weird mixture of the two.
SORRY??
My (Italian) last name ends in "ace" like Versace, and I get so excited when I meet Italians since they know how to pronounce it. 😸

Io adoro la tua pronuncia, suoni benissimo in italiano. Sei musicale.
grazie mille!
hai ragione
ma è italiana?
@@sofiesworld era ironico🤫
But Alfredo sauce is not Italian!
Yes it is but is not the sauce that American people make
Honestly

Well I heard that it was a dish created on the fly by a very accommodating restaurant owner for a nauseous American tourist who was pregnant.

Sono italiano e ti do ragione
Sono un italiano e hai esattamente ragione
"Spaghetti" is understandable, and certainly much more tolerable that "Brusheda" instead of "Bruschetta"
NO BRUSCHETTA AND SPAGHETTI
Awesome video Sophie!! I learned a lot! I will be sure to remember and respect the pronounciation (or try) when I say Italian words next time! ❤️
Yes! Let me know how it goes :) xo
Hi à la Parisienne, I'm Italian, if you need to improve your Italian, I would be pleased to speak with you. I need to improve my English too, so we could do an exchange.
The grammatical reason for the "H" after the "g" ( as in spaghetti) or after the "c" ( as in occhi) is because the vowels "i" and "e" are soft. Without the "h", the words would be pronounced "spajetti" and "occi".
Something else which drives me crazy is when people say ask for A panini. Panini is plural----thus, it should be, " May I have a panino"?
In Italian it would be "un panino" ( singular)---"due panini " (plural)---this is just a taste of the intricacies of the Italian language. Pardon the pun....😁
Sei una ragazza veramente affabile e cortese, Sofie. Ciao🙋
spagetti would be [spajɛtːi] or [spaʤɛtːi]?
If you pronounce Versacci you're saying "rude noises" :D
I love this idea! Such a creative video! Loved this!
Thanks Tomi! 💖💖💖
How long have you been livin in Italy? I'm actually really impressed by your pronunciation!
Grazie! 2.5 years
@@sofiesworld e se ci dici dove vivi, ci faresti felice :)
I find this one so entertaining because we have so many Italians in my little town in upstate NY and that is how we all understood Italians words to be pronounced until my first husband from Rome was soon to point out the correct way to pronounce these words....good memories and good show Sof.....it good to point these corrections out so we at least have a chance to pronounce them correctly....
I'm glad you enjoyed! XO
Great stuff thanks for the content.
La voce cambia proprio! È assurdo!
Si?!?
Sìsì
Non è la voce che cambia, ma solo la pronuncia, che assecondata dall'accento da l'impressione che cambi la voce ^^
IlRompiBalle cambia anche la voce. Italiano e inglese sono due lingue costruite su due tonalità diverse
9:35 è " colpa " delle Vocali che pronunciano chiuse : A , E , I , O , U .
Super helpful!
Love your channel! I am also learning Italian - how long did it take for you to speak fluently? How did you learn it? Any tips? :)
Hi there! That's awesome- I've actually posted several videos about this, feel free to check them out! In bocca al lupo :)
Ciao Sofie, io sono italiana, di Roma. L'italiano è una lingua un po' difficile perchè è ricca di particolari soprattutto nella grammatica e nella pronuncia ma tu lo parli benissimo. Complimenti!!!
Ps: nuova iscritta 😊
Grazie mille Eleonora, un complimento davvero gentile! 💖
Io sono di Verona,anche qualcuno è di Verona?
My great grandma had a very heavy Italian accent that I never noticed until after she passes but when she said things like spaghetti and Gnocchi she would rarely pronounce the I on the end.
Because she was probably from Southern Italy
ti sei dimenticata di dire "pepperoni" (con la doppia P) e "salami" ! Comunque bellissimo video! Complimenti!
Mannaggia hai ragione! Vabbeè, la prossima 😜 Grazie, Federico!
Anche "Maccheroni" e non "Macaroni" :). Complimenti per la tua ottima pronuncia, Sofie!
Pepperoni confuses me so much,why is that for them the Italian "salame piccante" ???
What do the posters mean by “aggressive?” Beautiful job Sofie ... you are doing what every good teacher should do and does do! Thank you!
Thank you💖
I've been re-watching some Sofie Videos and reading the comments with my wife today as well (our 22nd Wedding Anniversary). We are trying to understand how anyone thought Sofie was being aggressive. Odd. Sofie - we love watching your videos! You and several others have given us so much useful info in preparation for our relocation to Italy in a few years. We love you - keep being you!
Doing this in both languages is so cool !
Thanks! :)
random question.... can you actually get almond milk in rome or other places in italy at a cafe? Or any other milk substitute? I just got to Italy (living in aviano for the next few years) and I have been afraid to ask, i dont want to make them feel disrespected lol
I’ve just been able to find soy milk. I always ask first and they usually have it!
I'm curious: Did you use to wear the hairstyle you are wearing in this video before you came to Italy? I've been living in Italy for three years now and it seems like a typical style of young Italian women to me
Help me please; Is it Italian, like eye talian, uh talian or ee talian.. I regularly hear all three and not sure which is actually the correct pronunciation. I get different results depending on where I look.
4:43 it seems to be eye talian.
Very informative video! Thank you!
Salve... Using the rules, it should be pronounced as 'ee'... So italiano would be (ee-tal-ee-ano), and Italia would be (ee-ta-lee-a). But locals might pronunce it slightly different but definitely, the i is an 'ee' sound, not pronunced as e which is 'eh'. I hope this helps. Buonagiornata. :)
Italian words aren't really difficult except when the letters CE, CI, CH, CCH, and GLI are involved. I once heard someone talk about "NOAT-chee," I had no idea what she was talking about. When she defined it, I immediately said (Oh, NOCK-kee).
I'll be going to Italy soon thanks for the videos and advices...
Hey, I'm Italian and I think your Italian is amazing! You speak it as well as an Italian!
Sei troppo gentile, grazie mille per il complimento 💕
Nah pistacchio no pistacio and bruschetta no brusceta
@@favij1555 vabbè ma anche noi non è che sappiamo parlare bene l'inglese e altro
haha! this was so cool! I feel like Italians pronounce the words a little bit similarly as Finnish people do...;) good for me to note. :P 10k here we come!
Thanks Kia! xo
I know fuckall about Finnish but I know that most vowels are pronounced the same way.
OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS SOF! Seriously had such a hard time with these words!! I feel like after 3 weeks in italy I only could barely pronounce some words correctly xD I'll be using these next time I come to Italia!! Grazie mille bella!!
Haha! YAS you will be coming back SOON :) xx
yEAH Bruno Mars you better get your music right!! You tell em girl!!!
😜
I love Mascapone cheese, because it's for making Tiramisu, great, i love it, thank you(and gelato) Ciao. 30 May 2022
Bruno Magli and Salvatore Ferragamo are so nice.
I find I drift into speaking Spanish when I start to speak Italian . . . .
Grande Sophie !!! :)
Love ir videos! U should do more Italian classes, that'd be awesome
Wow, I'm Italian but I think you have a great pronunciation! If you came to Italy and you would speak Italian everyone would not believe that you are English
When in Rome do as the Romans, when in America do as the Americans. Ir I used the correcct Italian pronunciation in the States nobody would know what the hell I'm talking about.
I would
I would
Congratulations you get a gold star!!!
sandwich=tramezzino panino is a stuffed bread roll biscotto means cooked(cotto) twice (bis)
Torino in English is Turin and in English it sounds very similar to the piemontese dialect pronunciation of the same Turin! ^_^
I think you're pronunciation is fine,people need to take it easy .Im Italian American ,I have trouble sometimes with pronouncing the vowel A correctly but hey I don't speak Italian everyday :)
* wish you happy times 🎀 5 Thanks .
The sound "GL" is actually difficult for some italians too! You can comfortably solve this issue by substituting it with a Y, like in "yawn". It's pretty similar and most couldn't tell the difference (especially in Rome)
Ciao Sofie, congratulations for this funny video. Very interesting the two versions of it.Personally when I go to US, I gave up to use the correct pronunciation for Italian words, because often they don't understand me. Funny when, knowing I'm Italian, I've been asked for correct pronunciation 👏, and even funnier when they told me: "Sorry, I couldn't understand because your pronunciation was wrong" 🤔 😱 😂.Sofie, c'è un premio per il decimillesimo (#sepronuncibenequestaormaiseiitaliana) iscritto? 😜
Grazie per questo video😂😂😂
I love that she's so aggressive ahaha
I know that if I went abroad and pronounced these words correctly nobody would understand me, but I'd say it anyway. The more you hear the right pronounciation, the more luckily it'd be for others to learn, instead of believing that they've been saying it well all along.
I guess the problem is a lack of general knowledge about Italian spelling: words are pronounced exactly like they're written (strange, huh?), but of course nobody has to know phonetic rules of every language in the world.
Eventually, my question would be: why did they start to mispronounce words in the first place?! The first approach with a language is oral/by hearing, not written, so someone, a long time ago, must have heard the actual pronounciation and then, when he/she came back to his/her country, told his friends about his/her experience. Who cares if the spelling is strange? Just pronounce the world how it should be! Something went definitely wrong.
Wow i pronounce so many of these wrong too lol and im from the uk great video 😊😊
Hi charmedwench, I'm Italian, if you need to improve your Italian, I would be pleased to speak with you. I need to improve my English too, so we could do an exchange.
Amazing♥️
bravissima ! come si pronuncia pistacchio in inglese ? "psteciu" ? in una comica di stanlio e ollio in americano ho sentito questa parola ma non capisco bene come la pronunciano !
You are so inspiring you inspired me to become a teacher
Wow you're the first one in youtube wich pronuounce correctly those words i'm proud of you.
I love this. My mother was Italian. I cringe when I hear how some people pronounce Italian words. Thankfully I was greeted with open arms in Italy, thanks to Mama.
🤩❤️
picky correction: it's actually "mamma" not "mama"
@@franceskinskij I'm American, it's mama. Check the dictionary. After all I am one. Are you? You never correct a mama!
@@Mamalion730 in italian it's mamma
@@mari_enhasver sweet heart, I'm American!! I speak English, thank you. THE END!
Always interesting to watch your videos. Wish you have a beautiful new day... LIKE !!
4:21 Italians don't really eat spaghetti bolognese, that would translate to speghetti from bologna.
Also, I used to pronounce gnocchi as nocki. I just ignored the g.
Versacci on the floooor lmao
Brava!!!
Ah this was cool!
How did you learn italian pronunciation?
When I teach a foreign language, I teach simple responding before students see the writing, approximately six weeks.
Great video! I was about 50% right.
In older TV programmes Americans used to say Eyetalian
Sto a morì, fantastico sto video😂 kiss from italy😜
5:10 prima non sapevo come si chiamava questo pane 🍞,ma dopo mell'anno detto che di chiama ciabatta e mi sono messa a ridere
Hello dear friend nice talk....
Sei molto simpatica e questi video sono interessanti! Nuovo iscritto per te
Grazie Alessio! Benvenuto
Congrats, very accurate Italian pronunciation!
Are you kidding me?
@@Bl.sporti being Italian, no.
@Dragon 08 give an example, where exactly she's not accurate?
@Dragon 08 infatti si sentono tutte le lettere, non so sinceramente cosa stai cercando di dire..
@Dragon 08 Ah si, e quale sarebbe il problema? Se mi tiri fuori la questione della lettera e aperta o chiusa si entra in ambito di accenti regionali, dove ognuno in Italia sbaglia qualcosa. Per me, detto da uno straniero, quella pronuncia è corretta.
So many problems with latte or caffe 🤣 i work in an airport bar and many people ask for a "caffe cappuccino" that meas just a cappuccino 🤔 because caffe is a generic name for... Like everything 🙃
And... One day, a guy wanted a "latte without milk" and I was like😐😐😐 (after some explenation i got him: it wanted just a black coffe, american, without milk 🤣)
Your channel is so funny and your pronunciation is very good, I really like to watch videos about these themes)
Baci dalla Sardegna🏝️
latte without milk, impiccaggione ! :-D :-D :-D
Ciao Sofie, io sono italiana, di Florance. L'italiano è una lingua un po' difficile! Ma tu lo parli benissimo! Io complimenti!!!
Brava, Sofie! The only criticism that I have is that you forgot to mention that, since biscotti is a plural, biscotto is the singular.
Idk why all you guys are attacking her like she’s spelling them right
Thank you again for helping with language tips. If you do not mind sharing, which is you favorite Aperitivo Place in Rome? Florence? Venice?
Le persone americane in come parlano italiano mi fanno smettere di battere il cuore.
Pronunci davvero bene l'italiano! Complimenti, non è per niente facile per gli stranieri, immagino!
Complimenti brava
Ciao Sofie, la scritta corretta è "pistacchio" per questo si sente sia la presenza dell'h che della doppia 'C'. :)
I’ve never heard of tagliatelle before (yet autocorrect filled it in before in finished typing it). I assume the name has to do with cutting...
One note is that Italian vowel pronunciation is different in different parts so some of the open vowels you pronounced especially the e would be different in other parts of Italy
(By the way I can tell ur "Italian accent" is from the North)
you are very good, when you speak italian you don’t sound american at all, actually you sound romana! 😊👍
Ahh! Grazie!
Io sono italiana sei molto brava a parlarlo 💗
GRAZIE GRAZIE GRAZIE GRAZIE
Finalmente qualcuno l'ha spiegato agli americani
GRAZIE
Figurati 😉😉😉
Come on, 10k subs are really near!
Go save our language in the States! You're my hero!
P.S. someone should teach Americans how to pronounce Esposito as in Giancarlo Esposito and Ventimiglia as in Milo Ventimiglia (Ventimiglia is also a town in Italy)
Dovresti provare le tagliatelle e i passatelli
This is the most agressive pronunciation video ive ever seen
Its the correct way that's why
@@abelmontalvo4052 that dosent mean she sould be so agressive.
@@Fee1s makes it easier to pronounce at least it does for me
@@abelmontalvo4052 fosent make it easyer just makes people feel attack in some sorta way or targetted.
@@abelmontalvo4052 said by an italian: all her pronounces are wrong!
Awesome video Your amazing
LOTF 🤣🤣🤣.... you are so freakin' adorable. Love starting my day with your video. Well done.... I hope to start hearing the correct pronunciation of these words soon! What eyeshadow are you wearing? Can you do a day make up tutorial? Love you to the moon and back!😘
Thanks so much! I'm wearing the color 'Garnet' from the Lorac Pro palette :) XO
YEEEESSS FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS GOOD ITALIAN
Why do you pronounce some "i" like Luigi but with some words you pronounce "i" like "Luiga" when it still has an "i" sorry if thats confusing
"Sofia." I love your videos! They are great. Don't forget "Capocollo." If I hear someone say "Gabagool" one more time, I'm going to curse at them in some Italian obscenities! ; )
the use double letters to double sound is just like Latin, Akkadian, Indo-Aryan languages, and Dravidian languages!
:) nice video
hai una pronuncia bellissima!!
