confession i dont get why we judge a language for how it pronounces a loanword bc im pretty sure there isnt a single language on earth that actually preserves the native pronunciation of all its loanwords. like its literally a completely natural linguistic process you guys its ok

@richy1965 @jimbojd4 you do not say it like italians say it. you say it with the [æ] vowel, which does not exist in italian. americans say it with the [a] vowel, which does exist in italian

@Tenzur_ @jimbojd4 @OurCrazyWorldT [æ] does not exist in italian, but [a] does. so actually americans say it closer to how it's pronounced in italian 🤷‍♀️

@botzarelli @jimbojd4 except you don't pronounce it how italians do... you pronounce it with a vowel that doesn't even exist in the italian language, [æ]
