Dee, this is my reply to Sheldon's amazingly wrong post to your request. I
reserve a special scorn for him.

Can anyone write out the pronunciation of Bugialli - Bug ee ah
yi? Usually there is an "l" after the g" - as in Bugliosi, but this
one has me puzzled.

*Sometimes* there's an "l" after a "g." More often, not.

When you see the "gl" combination (as in Bugliosi), it's pronounced as
though it were Boo-lyo-see. The "gl" doesn't have hard "G" sound in
Italian, only when pronounced in English. The combination of "GN" is
pronounced without a "g" sound, too, as in bagno - bahn-yo

Bugialli, Giuliano - Italian author of cook books.

Boo jee 'ah lee Jew lee 'ah no... eh!

Nonsense. It's boo-jah-lee, joo-lya-no. "gia" is pronounced "jah" and
"giu" is "joo." "ia" is a diphthong and pronounced "ya."

Actually there is no exact English transliteration

Actually, "transliteration" means to go from one alphabet to another,
pretentious moron. You mean "phonetic transcription" where the sounds of
one language are rendered with the approximately similar sounds of
another.

The Italian alphabet is the same one we use, with five letters missing
(only used with foreign words). How to pronounce everything in Italian,
the alphabet, letter combinations and everything else....

for the Italian "g"... it's kind of a twisted blend of a shoe and a
jew. Think Genoa.

Thanks for being so pompously, stupidly wrong, Mr. Italian language
expert. "Genoa" is an English word. "Genova" is the Italian one. It's
pronounced as thought it were spelled with an English "J" just like
jackass. Jackass.

So -- for Bugialli -- boo-jah-lee. Accent on "jah" - right?
Boo JAH lee - Right? (Boo JAAAAAH lee)
Thanks Pastorio. And for correcting Sheldon's response which I would've
never seen otherwise -- tee hee.

Yep. Only one thing: the double "L" is actually spelled longer
than a single "L", prolonging the "mute" part of the letter
(before releasing down the tongue).

Yep. Only one thing: the double "L" is actually spelled longer
than a single "L", prolonging the "mute" part of the letter
(before releasing down the tongue).

And that applies to most double-letter spellings. They're held for a
tiny second longer than single letters.

Good example: "Quanti anni hai?"

It either means, literally, "How many years do you have," or
idiomatically, "How old are you?" if articulated correctly.

It means "How many anuses do you have" if held for too short a time. The
correct answer is, of course, "One. Sheldon."

In "hai", what happens with the "h"? Does it vanish, as in Spanish, or is it
pronounced?

Unvoiced.

Unlike the Japanese...
