    Tbf, these spellings make more sense than the actual spelling. How tf is Lasagna pronounced lasanya? Fuck you romance languages.

      Bold of an English speaker to accuse any other language of unpredictable spelling…

      Funnily, Italian is almost completely phonemic, meaning it’s trivial to both spell and read words if you know the rules. English can only dream of that.

        As an Italian, it took me a while to understand things like spelling competitions in American movies…

          As a Hungarian, me too. We spell everything exactly as we write it.

          Edit: the reply is right, of course we pronounce everything as we write it.

        Right. ‘Lasagna’ in particular is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced in Italian.

          Hell, it’s spelled phonetically enough for English too. “gn” making the same sound as in “gnome” will pretty much get you there.

          I guess to be fair it’s just not a common phoneme, and spelling can be a crapshoot in English.

          GH as in although

          O as in people

          T as in ballet

          I as in business

        You can write that however you like, it’s not an Italian word anyway. That would be “parmigiana”, paar-mee-djaa-nah

        That’s my internal monologue so that I can remember how it’s spelled.

        Ask the English speakers who imported words like lasagna and baguette without changing the spelling to lasanya or baget.

        Worst of all, sometimes they change the spelling but only to remove the diacritics that tell you how it’s supposed to be pronounced

      gn in Italian is consistently pronounced like ñ in Spanish.

      Don’t start me with things like eye. No chance to spell that correctly if you do not know the word - just random conglomerate of letters.
