      I think it would be interesting to explore the pronunciation of Italian names: "Giovanni". "Gee-oh-vah-nee", vs "Joh-vah-nee" (if you know what I mean).

      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 ☕"

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”

      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.

    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....😁

    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.

    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

      Espresso is the Italian word for express, and the coffee was named as such because of the quick brewing method. So many people use expresso as the American translation, and this is not entirely incorrect.
