Pronunciation of Modena

If we're going to incorporate dialect, idiom and lyrical rhyme then we might as well base Queen's English pronunciation on Posh Spice, and American English on Buster Rhymes.

 

Mod-n-uh is correct way to say it.

 

Fortunately most of the pronunciations that are being implied are all correct, you see Italy has at least 12 different dialects one for almost every region so the pronunciation varies greatly from region to region. It depends who says it, the correct way would be from the towns people from Modena but we all say it different.

Moh-dee-na
Mo-dae-na
Muh-d-nuh
Mah-de-na

These are all different slangs on how to say it, they are all correct as in we all know what you are talking about.

As me Dad would of said

Youah speekah da goooooood Italiano
Youah buncha karaaaazy Americanos

 

WOW! Welcome to 10 years ago!

Is this Modena F1 or sickspeed?

 

You sound like someone that has never been to Italy

I speak a local dialect and Italian. The dialect has no bearing on how I would say Modena in Italian.

Tell me which region of Italy do you believe "Mah-de-na" is said that way. The only region that I know that says it that way is called America

 

Its from the same region where its pronounced like this

Lol I'm Abruzzese I was born there I came here when I was 9, I still visit frequently and have a sister there, I spoke Italian all my life and good sir you are so wrong. In fact listen to the song that was posted he is singing the word Modena in 2 or three different styles. I speak an Abruzzese dialect in which we chop words in half for a slang, if I go down to Calabri or Sicily I barely understand what they are saying, the way they pronounce everything is totally different.

Have you traveled to the south of Italy, I have you tell me they pronounce it like you say it think again my man.

 

WHy? The above I got from an Italian friend who is living IN Italy. I must admit I trust him more than I trust others.

Iknow from various family members that having lived in a country and moved away (in this case from DK to the US) you WILL lose some parts of the language.

As for the dialects, that is probably true, but then we can never agree on how to pronounce a word.

Boungiorno a tutti i miei amici on ferrari chat. Sono nato in Italia, Ho vissuto in Italia, sono andato a scuola in italia, come posso convincervi che si pronuncia proprio cosi.

 

Yes every little village has a dialect, but on the other hand there is only one Italian language and it is the one that the school sistem will teach you in school. In the usa they don't teach you southern dialect, or new york dialect or Boston dialect they tech you English.IMO.

ciao a tutti. Graziano

 

Wow, and I always thought it was pronounced fer'RA-ri.

 

Interesting thread.

I've owned a 328 and 512 BBi and pronounce them "three-twenty-eight" and "five-twelve" respectively. I didn't like to refer to the 512 as "boxer", since it had a Flat-12 engine - not a boxer engine.

However, I now own a 612 Scaglietti.

I refer to that car as "six-one-two" and "Skahl-yetti"

The wife is right. In Italy we do not spell, therefore when you speak italian every consonant or vowel is phonetically spelled. Italian language does not have double vowel but unfortunately we do have double consonant and in order to know if the word contains two of them, such as Ferrari, you must roll the r.

ciao. Graziano

 

Then how do you tell that "Bugatti" has two "t's" in a row?

 

Bugatti
Confetti
Scritti-Politti
Spaghetti
Ziti -Damn it!

That's dutch and Swedish, when assembling Ikea furniture

 

Good question. More than rolling I would say to hold the double consonant
A little longer. Put the tongue in the top of your palate and hold it there for a fraction longer than a single consonant.
