I'm only learning Italian (I am far from being even conversation at this stage) but one thing my teacher told my class was that the double consonant is VERY important. Pronouncing it correctly is VERY important. Then he gave us some examples of WHY it's important. It's the difference between penne and pene, or anno and ano. Point made!
Omg "quanti ani hai" reminds me of Elementary school (I'm a native Italian speaker). Imagine that my last name is difficult to say even by fellow Italians, because it is long and people strangely almost always read it wrong

It's really impressive when you change from english to italian. When you pronounce our names i could mistake you for a northern italian speaker, someone from Lombardia or Piemonte. Beautiful pronounciation.
You are very welcome. Your pronunciation is one of a kind. I have/had many foreign friends and, even though some of them mastered my language very well, i can tell they are not italian right away. On the contrary there are moments in this video i have to listen very carefully to find your accent, just a little more practice and i'm sure you will be able to pass as italian.
"Meglio un morte in casa che un Marchigiano davanti alla porta". Mi sembra che Elissa ha chiappato un po di accento del nord delle Marche o sud della Romagna (provincia di Pesaro o Forli, molto simili ).
@@sakuramatsuriantiques5053 I read that in Italian the 2nd to last syllable is by default most usually prolonged or stressed like Italiano (it-ta-li-A-no) or legère(lay-GEH-ray) or Nicolo. (as you have thoroughly explained in you videos) I recently learnt that the placement of accent marks(diacritical) if included marks can affect the rhythm (stress/accent or as you have taught meaning ) of the word, like Itáliano(i-tA-li-a-no) or lègere (lÈH-gay-ray) or Nícolo (NÍ-co-lo). The word I am trying to understand is a name , if Perugini= (pe-ru-GI-ni), would this be correct= Pèrugini( PEH-ru-gi-ni) [This is a name of a person (not me)] Let's say there was an individual (not me) who wanted to change their name when they grew up to Perugini (peh-ru-Gi-ni). But when beginning to study Italian (like through your italian playlist) I realised that: 1 e= é/ay (closed ) in italian as all 'e' are closed by default and 2. There is a beautiful rhyme to the pronunciation of words as the 2nd to last syllable is usually held the longest. The individual (not me) read that by using 'diacritical marks' (ie acento grave and accento acuto ) it affects the rhythm (Lègere [lEH-ge-ray] vs Legère [le-Geh-ray]. The individual (not me) want there name to be read with an open e ( è) Pèrugini but what I can gather (from your videos) Is the 1st (of the 4 syllable will be held the longest and it would be PEH-ru-gi-ni not peh-ru-GI-NI. because of the accent mark. Are my studies correct inline with your teaching ...... Thank you for taking the time to read this comment.

I'm currently teaching English in Italy. I find that the kids find it hilarious when I pronounce their name wrong, I try and say it correctly, but often because I teach so many classes I just forget their names :') They also like it when I tell them what the English version of their name is, I had a year 5 primary class laugh for a solid 5 minutes when they found out that Andrea is a girls name in English :')
Hehehehe, that sounds like fun 😁 kids are great. But I have to say it's annoying when people call me Alyssa because I don't know if they're referring to someone else with the name Alyssa or if they're referring to me, and also because it's just not my name. But yeah, in Italian (and I say it in my intro in my Italian videos), I convert my name to the Italian pronunciation because it works and I like it that way too. It might even be better to just "convert" your name to the other language than to pronounce it incorrectly for some people
Becky House Andrea is really just a male name, it comes from greek and it actually means "manly". Just think about how males hormones are called -> androgens. The etymology is the same.
It's used as both a male and female name in Italy, although it's much more popular and common as a male name, given the original meaning of its original Greek iteration, as pointed out by another comment.

EDIT #2: RAGAZZI SO CHE ANDREA È ANCHE UN NOME DA FEMMINA, bastaaaa 😂 Questo video era per madrelingua inglesi, la cosa diciamo interessante e importante era che di solito in Italia è un nome da maschi. Mi sono semplicemente dimenticata di dire "usually" 😜 I just wanted to make this easier for everyone. First of all, thank you to all the people who are writing me such nice comments. Let me just lay this down for the people who are unhappy: 1. No one is forcing you to improve your pronunciation. If you're not interested in improving your pronunciation in Italian, this isn't the video for you. 2. I talk a lot. It's a long video as you can see. If you just want to hear Italian names, you can go to Google Translate and type in the name, it will read it back to you. This video is for people who are looking for details and a longer explanation. 3. If you're not interested in hearing background information, why I think improving your pronunciation is important, or how Italian pronunciation works in general, and you just want to go right to the names, skip to 5:47. EDIT: 4. I know that Andrea can also be a girl's name in Italy, I forgot to say "usually" in the video 😋 99% of my comments are amazing, you people are so sweet 💛
Il nome Andrea, etimologicamente e storicamente, è solo maschile in italiano; da qualche anno è utilizzato al femminile sul modello dello spagnolo Andrea, però sono cose molto diverse perché in spagnolo è il femminile di Andrès mentre in italiano è una forzatura bella e buona. Il vero femminile italiano di Andrea è Andreina.
Yeah girl, you rule! I'm a native Italian speaker who has English as one of her reansons to live. I deeply appreciated this video because my name is Claudia and all of my English friends call me Clodia, which is even more terrible. Good luck I know it's particularly tricky to pronounce, so now I'm so used with it that don't even try to correct people all the time. But doesn't mean it's less frustrating. Btw, I like your name very much!
Oh no, that's so annoying. It's weird because my name isn't difficult to pronounce but for some reason no one can get it right, so I feel your pain. And thank you! 😍
My name is Claudia too and I live in England so I feel your pain. I never gave up tho, so most people I know pronounce my name properly haha! I just care a bit too much maybe, but also the point is, it really ISN'T that tricky because if you think about it it's basically pronounced like cloud. So yeah, I don't understand why people just authomatically pronounce it Clodia, especially if they've just heard me saying it.
I never realised just how difficult our language could be for others... I used to consider it simple because "what you read, you say", without all the pronunciation rules languages like English have! XD

I so appreciate this! I’m study music in an undergraduate program and I take Italian Diction classes so that when I sing operas and art songs in Italian, I’m pronouncing everything properly. Same goes for German, French, and even English Diction where we first learn IPA (international phonetic alphabet) and can apply it to any language. Sometimes we have to modify vowels a bit when we sing, but not as much in Italian where the vowels are pretty much always pure so it’s usually the first foreign language we’re taught to sing in as classical vocalists in the US (along with Latin). I was in a couple Puccini one-act operas last year and we had a native Italian speaker as our diction coach throughout the production and we all benefited a lot from it! I think Diction classes in different languages can be really really great for anyone who really wants to sound authentic speaking the language as a supplement to learning how to understand the language. Grazie mille!

About the name Jacopo, just to clarify, I think it's a relic from the past. In Italian there used to be the letter j, it was an archaic way to right the semivowel i (some writers used to wtite "noja" instead of "noia" for instance). However it wasn't a really official way of writing, so that letter died in everything except "Jacopo", which also has a variant in "Giacomo"
However it used to be. I believe only j and x of the 5 additional letters were present in Italian, as k is the same as "ch", w is the same as v (in Italian), and y was already taken by j and i. However j died because its purpose was already fulfilled by i
on news in TV sometimes they talked about 'Jonio Sea' and I see it written with J several times. I was surprised. Here three example: www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2018/04/13/nucleare-acqua-contaminata-nel-mar-jonio-sequestrato-impianto-itrec-di-rotondella-matera/4290733/ www.meteoweb.eu/foto/allerta-meteo-uragano-ionio/id/1003077/#1 www.oasiwwfpolicoro.net/index.php/cras/90-contro-le-trivelle-per-la-vita-del-mar-jonio.html Probably is related to journalism. Maybe is the correct spell.

My name is Alice and it's even worse because you can pronounce it in the Italian way or in the English way. It's a name that exists in both languages, you just pronounce it differently. I'm used to the Italian so when I'm abroad and someone pronounces it in the "wrong"(English) way I don't understand that this person is talking to me.

@@alessia8546 If I told/showed someone (an italian) that my name legally is/ and written as Pèrugini ( with an open e) that as you said the i (ì) is long would they pronounce the e as-open-as it is clearly written .

J was part of the italian alphabet but it was replaced with a I between the nineteenth and twentieth century. Some names kept the J, like Jacopo, Jesolo (a town) or... my surname :)
You're perfectly right on how frustrating it is having people mispronounce your name! I have been teaching a Moroccan lady I know to say "Andrea" for 2 years or so, but without result. She's always saying "Andriia"! -_-

When you are Italian and you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel 🙌🏻👏🏻 . My name is Chiara and English speakers pronounce it like Ciara and it piss me off, so I usually introduce my self like Claire, which the English version for my Italian name💪🏻😘😩😩
Hai una pronuncia PERFETTA... mi vengono i brividi a sentirti!! Sei bravissima! ❤️❤️ Sono capitata per caso su questo video, ma stai sicura che ora mi iscrivo!! 💙 Continua così!! 🇮🇹💚
Your hair is so beautiful and so are you!! I knew how to pronounce most of these because I study Spanish so it’s kind of similar, but it was interesting to see the differences between Spanish and Italian, especially that ‘qu’ in pascuale and the double consonant rule!!
You actually talk much more better than some of us italians, because most of us are influenced by dialectal influences. It’s common for me, for example, to ignore that “double letters” you were talking about because I’m from Rome. And in Rome a word like “paRRucchiere” becomes “paRucchiere”. 😂😂 hope my english is not too bad. Thank you for your video! ♥️
Amazing explanation, great pronunciation and when you pointed out the differences between held "doppie" and paused "doppie" oh! well that was the last crowining piece. I'd like to add that the place where T and D are articulated in English differs from italian. In italian D and T are not aspirated and are produced by pressing your tongue against the back of your upper teeth. (That's why in italian a D sounds more faint and T lack that /tʃ/ ts -like quality it has in English) You're doing a very charitable and great thing by bridging the gap between Italian and English name pronunciation, thanks to your knowledge of both worlds. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "translating names" or "converting" their pronunciation thing, yet I do understand from where the need stems from. Adapting your name's pronunciation to the language people around you speak, means you're just being reasoneable. It's kind of unrealistic to expect people to notice and learn new vowels or consonant sounds (es. gl vs li, gn vs n) and figure out their placement and the articulation required to produce them on the spot. It's going to be extremely hard to teach foreign pronunciation rules and sounds to everyone out there, so for the sake your own sanity if your name is Giuseppe you might want people to call you Joseph (No you're not rejecting your heritage, you're not denying who you are, you're just making your life easier). In case your name is really close in pronunciation to the natives variant, I'd expect them to at least give it a try. When "converting" your name the closer it is to your actual name the better (you won't miss people calling you). To everyone out there (I mean English native speakers) trying to get the original pronunciation right, I greatly appreciate the extra effort. This phenomenon applies to foreign names in Italian as well. Names' of American actors/actresses get "converted" to the Italian pronunciation model every time (Actually, you could come up with a list of celebrity names and enjoy discovering their native pronunciation. For instance Tom Cruise sounds quite different to what I as an Italian was used t.)
Yep! It's really easy to convert my name into Italian though, you just modify the vowels and add a double S. Luckily my name doesn't have to change completely 😋 Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this video!
Andrea means man, or strong man. In some culture the “man” word has been removed. It comes from the Greek word andrós which means "manly". For example andrology is the medical specialty that deals with male health, particularly relating to the problems of the male reproductive system and urological problems that are unique to men. The when you call a girl Andrea you are giving her the man name for excellence.
Only idiots would name a girl Andrea in italy. Not saying it doesn't happen cause I've seen worse but it's a male name and the only reason it's acceptable for girls (and legally it wasn't until 2012) it's because it's used that way internationally but it still sounds wrong and it's definetely not the norm.
Yes, unless they have a REALLY strong accent that I'm not used to and they speak in dialect. But other than that I'm pretty fluent. Every once in a while I don't know a word but that's about it

I'm only learning Italian (I am far from being even conversation at this stage) but one thing my teacher told my class was that the double consonant is VERY important. Pronouncing it correctly is VERY important. Then he gave us some examples of WHY it's important. It's the difference between penne and pene, or anno and ano. Point made!

It's really impressive when you change from english to italian. When you pronounce our names i could mistake you for a northern italian speaker, someone from Lombardia or Piemonte. Beautiful pronounciation.
Thank you so much 😍
You are very welcome. Your pronunciation is one of a kind. I have/had many foreign friends and, even though some of them mastered my language very well, i can tell they are not italian right away. On the contrary there are moments in this video i have to listen very carefully to find your accent, just a little more practice and i'm sure you will be able to pass as italian.
"Meglio un morte in casa che un Marchigiano davanti alla porta". Mi sembra che Elissa ha chiappato un po di accento del nord delle Marche o sud della Romagna (provincia di Pesaro o Forli, molto simili ).
@@sakuramatsuriantiques5053 I read that in Italian the 2nd to last syllable is by default most usually prolonged or stressed like Italiano (it-ta-li-A-no) or legère(lay-GEH-ray) or Nicolo. (as you have thoroughly explained in you videos) I recently learnt that the placement of accent marks(diacritical) if included marks can affect the rhythm (stress/accent or as you have taught meaning ) of the word, like Itáliano(i-tA-li-a-no) or lègere (lÈH-gay-ray) or Nícolo (NÍ-co-lo). The word I am trying to understand is a name , if Perugini= (pe-ru-GI-ni), would this be correct= Pèrugini( PEH-ru-gi-ni) [This is a name of a person (not me)]
Let's say there was an individual (not me) who wanted to change their name when they grew up to Perugini (peh-ru-Gi-ni). But when beginning to study Italian (like through your italian playlist) I realised that: 1 e= é/ay (closed ) in italian as all 'e' are closed by default and 2. There is a beautiful rhyme to the pronunciation of words as the 2nd to last syllable is usually held the longest. The individual (not me) read that by using 'diacritical marks' (ie acento grave and accento acuto ) it affects the rhythm (Lègere [lEH-ge-ray] vs Legère [le-Geh-ray]. The individual (not me) want there name to be read with an open e ( è) Pèrugini but what I can gather (from your videos) Is the 1st (of the 4 syllable will be held the longest and it would be PEH-ru-gi-ni not peh-ru-GI-NI. because of the accent mark.
Are my studies correct inline with your teaching ......
Thank you for taking the time to read this comment.
I'm Italian and I can tell your pronunciation is *perfect* .Congrats :)

Non so perché io abbia guardato questo video con così tanto interesse tenendo conto che sono italiana... però spieghi le cose davvero bene!
Ps: ti ammiro perché hai nominato Ezio Auditore, il doppiaggio inglese mi fa ridere un sacco!
I'm currently teaching English in Italy. I find that the kids find it hilarious when I pronounce their name wrong, I try and say it correctly, but often because I teach so many classes I just forget their names :') They also like it when I tell them what the English version of their name is, I had a year 5 primary class laugh for a solid 5 minutes when they found out that Andrea is a girls name in English :')
Hehehehe, that sounds like fun 😁 kids are great. But I have to say it's annoying when people call me Alyssa because I don't know if they're referring to someone else with the name Alyssa or if they're referring to me, and also because it's just not my name. But yeah, in Italian (and I say it in my intro in my Italian videos), I convert my name to the Italian pronunciation because it works and I like it that way too. It might even be better to just "convert" your name to the other language than to pronounce it incorrectly for some people
Becky House Andrea is really just a male name, it comes from greek and it actually means "manly". Just think about how males hormones are called -> androgens. The etymology is the same.
It's used as both a male and female name in Italy, although it's much more popular and common as a male name, given the original meaning of its original Greek iteration, as pointed out by another comment.

Hi I'm Italian and they tell me I have a very good english accent so you english people can have right Italian accent too. Yours is very good! It looks like you're just an Italian person with an eccellent english accent. Brava
Thank you! 😍
It's Elissa, not Alyssa And you also used the Ezio Auditore name from Assassin's Creed 2. Marry me! Haha :)

It's Elissa, not Alyssa Oh...oh...well...no problem. It's ok...soooo...now I...I...I think that...yes...I will kill myself. Bye!
Just kidding of course. I'll stay here waiting muahahah lol
I'm Italian myself and seeing people teach others how to pronounce uncommon (or difficult) names is something that makes me very happy,since my name is uncommon and often misspelt or mispronunsed.
ottimo video e ciao dall'Italia ✌
I'm italian and I have to say that your italian pronounce is perfect, but it's nice to hear italian names with american accent too. :)

Essendo stato chiamato "Lourensouh" migliaia di volte, non posso che ringraziarti per diffondere il giusto modo di pronunciare i nomi italiani! 😂❤
RIP Andrea Camilleri. You inspired me to learn how to pronounce Italian names and inspired many other people to many other things.
As a studier of English language, I've always focused on how different things were between Italian and English pronunciation, but never thought about how hard Italian rules can be for English speakers!! You are really good at explaining and your accent is super good!! xxx
EDIT #2: RAGAZZI SO CHE ANDREA È ANCHE UN NOME DA FEMMINA, bastaaaa 😂 Questo video era per madrelingua inglesi, la cosa diciamo interessante e importante era che di solito in Italia è un nome da maschi. Mi sono semplicemente dimenticata di dire "usually" 😜
I just wanted to make this easier for everyone. First of all, thank you to all the people who are writing me such nice comments. Let me just lay this down for the people who are unhappy:
1. No one is forcing you to improve your pronunciation. If you're not interested in improving your pronunciation in Italian, this isn't the video for you.
2. I talk a lot. It's a long video as you can see. If you just want to hear Italian names, you can go to Google Translate and type in the name, it will read it back to you. This video is for people who are looking for details and a longer explanation.
3. If you're not interested in hearing background information, why I think improving your pronunciation is important, or how Italian pronunciation works in general, and you just want to go right to the names, skip to 5:47.
EDIT: 4. I know that Andrea can also be a girl's name in Italy, I forgot to say "usually" in the video 😋
99% of my comments are amazing, you people are so sweet 💛
Andrea è anche un nome da femmina ma etimologicamente significa "Maschio"
Franco Caso maschio virile tra l'altro 😂
Il nome Andrea, etimologicamente e storicamente, è solo maschile in italiano; da qualche anno è utilizzato al femminile sul modello dello spagnolo Andrea, però sono cose molto diverse perché in spagnolo è il femminile di Andrès mentre in italiano è una forzatura bella e buona. Il vero femminile italiano di Andrea è Andreina.
Forget them! It's bullshit: in Italy there might be probably ten girls/women called Andrea (with crazy parents) against millions boys/men...
Io sono dell’opinione per cui Andrea sia solamente un nome da maschio dato che deriva da una parola greca che significa: *”È uomo”*
The one that bugs me the most is Versace->”Vursachi” **shudders**
Yeah girl, you rule!
I'm a native Italian speaker who has English as one of her reansons to live. I deeply appreciated this video because my name is Claudia and all of my English friends call me Clodia, which is even more terrible. Good luck I know it's particularly tricky to pronounce, so now I'm so used with it that don't even try to correct people all the time. But doesn't mean it's less frustrating.
Btw, I like your name very much!
Oh no, that's so annoying. It's weird because my name isn't difficult to pronounce but for some reason no one can get it right, so I feel your pain. And thank you! 😍
My name is Claudia too and I live in England so I feel your pain. I never gave up tho, so most people I know pronounce my name properly haha! I just care a bit too much maybe, but also the point is, it really ISN'T that tricky because if you think about it it's basically pronounced like cloud. So yeah, I don't understand why people just authomatically pronounce it Clodia, especially if they've just heard me saying it.
Considering it's a Roman name it's even more disturbing because our pronunciation is the rightest possible for this name XD

I so appreciate this! I’m study music in an undergraduate program and I take Italian Diction classes so that when I sing operas and art songs in Italian, I’m pronouncing everything properly. Same goes for German, French, and even English Diction where we first learn IPA (international phonetic alphabet) and can apply it to any language. Sometimes we have to modify vowels a bit when we sing, but not as much in Italian where the vowels are pretty much always pure so it’s usually the first foreign language we’re taught to sing in as classical vocalists in the US (along with Latin). I was in a couple Puccini one-act operas last year and we had a native Italian speaker as our diction coach throughout the production and we all benefited a lot from it! I think Diction classes in different languages can be really really great for anyone who really wants to sound authentic speaking the language as a supplement to learning how to understand the language. Grazie mille!

Hi! I'm an Italian girl! 🇮🇹 I've really enjoyed this video.
Then theres's me, a native Italian speaker, imitating the English pronunciation of italian names instead 😂😂
About the name Jacopo, just to clarify, I think it's a relic from the past. In Italian there used to be the letter j, it was an archaic way to right the semivowel i (some writers used to wtite "noja" instead of "noia" for instance). However it wasn't a really official way of writing, so that letter died in everything except "Jacopo", which also has a variant in "Giacomo"
Yes, of course. That's why I was so confused when I had to pronounce Jacopo because I knew that the J isn't a part of the Italian alphabet 😋
However it used to be. I believe only j and x of the 5 additional letters were present in Italian, as k is the same as "ch", w is the same as v (in Italian), and y was already taken by j and i. However j died because its purpose was already fulfilled by i
But what about Jonio Sea? I often see it written with the J.
on news in TV sometimes they talked about 'Jonio Sea' and I see it written with J several times. I was surprised.
Here three example:

www.oasiwwfpolicoro.net/index.php/cras/90-contro-le-trivelle-per-la-vita-del-mar-jonio.html
Probably is related to journalism. Maybe is the correct spell.
I've never seen it written like that. I guess it's either an archaic way of writing it or a way to look "modern" by using "Xtreme Kool Letterz"
You spoke and pronounced every Italian word perfectly! Great job to educate people!👍🏻

My name is Alice and it's even worse because you can pronounce it in the Italian way or in the English way. It's a name that exists in both languages, you just pronounce it differently. I'm used to the Italian so when I'm abroad and someone pronounces it in the "wrong"(English) way I don't understand that this person is talking to me.

in the word “Perugini” the stressed syllable is GI
@@alessia8546 If I told/showed someone (an italian) that my name legally is/ and written as Pèrugini ( with an open e) that as you said the i (ì) is long would they pronounce the e as-open-as it is clearly written .

J was part of the italian alphabet but it was replaced with a I between the nineteenth and twentieth century. Some names kept the J, like Jacopo, Jesolo (a town) or... my surname :)
Giusto. Si faceva per differenziare il suono lungo da quello breve. Importante se scrivi poesie perché corrisponde a un dittongo
inoltre fino ai primi del '900 si usava nella forma scritta, ad esempio, dell aprola "ieri". Nei libri di Luigi Pirandello si trova ancora "Jeri"

Grazie! 😁
Grazie a te! Iscritta... Almeno ripasso un po' di inglese da una persona che abita nel mio amatissimo Canada!
You actually talk much more better than some of us italians, because most of us are influenced by dialectal influences. It’s common for me, for example, to ignore that “double letters” you were talking about because I’m from Rome. And in Rome a word like “paRRucchiere” becomes “paRucchiere”. 😂😂 hope my english is not too bad.
Thank you for your video! ♥️
Yeah for sure, but if I explain this stuff in every video they will be even longer and they're already too long 😂 And you're welcome 💛
Amazing explanation, great pronunciation and when you pointed out the differences between held "doppie" and paused "doppie" oh! well that was the last crowining piece.
I'd like to add that the place where T and D are articulated in English differs from italian. In italian D and T are not aspirated and are produced by pressing your tongue against the back of your upper teeth. (That's why in italian a D sounds more faint and T lack that /tʃ/ ts -like quality it has in English)
You're doing a very charitable and great thing by bridging the gap between Italian and English name pronunciation, thanks to your knowledge of both worlds.
I'm not a huge fan of the whole "translating names" or "converting" their pronunciation thing, yet I do understand from where the need stems from.
Adapting your name's pronunciation to the language people around you speak, means you're just being reasoneable.
It's kind of unrealistic to expect people to notice and learn new vowels or consonant sounds (es. gl vs li, gn vs n) and figure out their placement and the articulation required to produce them on the spot.
It's going to be extremely hard to teach foreign pronunciation rules and sounds to everyone out there, so for the sake your own sanity if your name is Giuseppe you might want people to call you Joseph (No you're not rejecting your heritage, you're not denying who you are, you're just making your life easier). In case your name is really close in pronunciation to the natives variant, I'd expect them to at least give it a try.
When "converting" your name the closer it is to your actual name the better (you won't miss people calling you).
To everyone out there (I mean English native speakers) trying to get the original pronunciation right, I greatly appreciate the extra effort.
This phenomenon applies to foreign names in Italian as well. Names' of American actors/actresses get "converted" to the Italian pronunciation model every time (Actually, you could come up with a list of celebrity names and enjoy discovering their native pronunciation. For instance Tom Cruise sounds quite different to what I as an Italian was used t.)
Yep! It's really easy to convert my name into Italian though, you just modify the vowels and add a double S. Luckily my name doesn't have to change completely 😋 Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this video!
This was helpful and nicely presented...grazie bene!
Hai un ottima pronuncia, bravissima😘
The fact that I'm Romanian and I can perfectly pronounce all these names makes me feel nice :D
Andrea can be both male or female name
I think I said that 😅
Not in Italy, but usually in north Europe...
Andrea means man, or strong man. In some culture the “man” word has been removed.
It comes from the Greek word andrós which means "manly".
For example andrology is the medical specialty that deals with male health, particularly relating to the problems of the male reproductive system and urological problems that are unique to men.
The when you call a girl Andrea you are giving her the man name for excellence.
Well, in Italy there are girls named Andrea
Only idiots would name a girl Andrea in italy. Not saying it doesn't happen cause I've seen worse but it's a male name and the only reason it's acceptable for girls (and legally it wasn't until 2012) it's because it's used that way internationally but it still sounds wrong and it's definetely not the norm.
Brava Elissa! Ottimo lavoro! :-)
I’m italian and my name is giovanni. just thank you !
So.. I subscribed when you said Giuseppe in your English pronunciation that sounds so weird in Italian. That made me laugh so hard🤣🤣
HAHAHA it does 😂😂😂
You could be an Italian teacher. You're amazing
Thank you! I actually do offer private lessons 😇
I have an Italian background, speak Sicilian dialect and can speak proper Italian, but English is more stronger.
Are you able to converse fully in Italian with anyone from Italy?
Yes, unless they have a REALLY strong accent that I'm not used to and they speak in dialect. But other than that I'm pretty fluent. Every once in a while I don't know a word but that's about it
As an italian girl, I really love your italian pronunciation, it sounds kinda sweet
