Just a little note. In Italian is "Monna Lisa", with a double n, because it's a short form of "M(ado)nna" which, at the time, would have meant "My Lady"

The pronunciation of "r" in Italian is the same as the pronunciation of "r" in Indonesia, because what is written in Indonesia is read directly the sound of the word written 🇮🇹 ❤️ 🇮🇩
In Italy the pronunciation changes from region to region, there are regions where the vowels are more open and regions where they are more closed. In Perugia the softer "g" is used in Tuscany it is the "c" that is more aspirated. We pronounce names more or less the same way.
Yeah in Italy almost everyone speak with their native accent even if they try to hide it, however if we have to be pedantic there is a standard Italian pronunciation. For reference it’s what voice actors usually speak in in their work.
@@leojlg9147 Yes, but that's not how we talk every day. Those are exceptional cases. If a person from the center or north goes to Sicily in small towns, where often only dialect is spoken, it is difficult for them to understand. In fact, in Italy the most understandable language is that of gestures, our distinctive gestures are understood from north to south.
@@fabioesploratore1847 Absolutely no. In some regions the vowels are more closed, in others more open, this changes the pronunciation. In Tuscany the "C" is aspirated, in Perugia the "G" is softer. Don't bullshit because the pronunciation differs from region to region, whether you want it or not. Even in the villages around Rome that are part of the province of Rome the pronunciation changes ... I have friends who from Puglia (Southern Italy) went to live and study in Milan (Northern Italy) and the pronunciation of the words is totally different from each other and my friends originally from Milan. The fact that we understand what we say because we speak the same language has nothing to do with how words are pronounced. The accent changes giving a different pronunciation in the words. We don't talk bullshit because if you don't understand this concept, maybe you have to leave your region and visit the rest of Italy, then you will tell me. The same thing goes for an English born in England and one born in the USA who say the exact same word, the accent changes but the word is the same.
Studied Italian at school (with English and Spanish). Really I don't understand why Americans say fettuccini, linguini, salami, zucchini when the correct forum is fettuccine, linguine, salame, zucchine. What's the logic to change foreign words? 🤔
@@andre02ita53 anche Cina non assomiglia assolutamente a "Zun Guo" (il termine con cui chiamano i cinesi il loro paese). In russo la parola è Kitay così come la chiama Marco Polo (Catai) .
You should include Americo Vespucci, the Italian explorer that America owns its name to! I think that Mona Lisa is also called Gioconda… I hope I wrote that right. Does it have two names? I’m sure that the painting it’s also called Gioconda!
'Mona/Monna' is the medieval word for 'Madonna' (Mia donna = my lady). Lisa is the first name of the woman in the portrait. Giocondo is her family name. Gioconda is the femine version. In the end: 'Monna Lisa del Giocondo' is for 'Gentle Lady Lisa from Giocondo's family'.
It'd be interesting to see just how little hyphenated Americans know about the countries they constantly bore other people to death with by telling them where they came from even though they didn't ask or care!
English finally needs a writing reformation. As a German it was pretty easy to pronounce exept for a bit of accent, because we also pronounce every letter straight forward.
Greatest feeling was ordering Italian food with a legit Italian waiter and me pronouncing Caprese the correct Italian pronunciation way and him repeating it the same way and saying "Bravo," after. All my Italian language first time learners can attest to that feeling.
Muito bene, donne I have friends with Italian last names. One is Giardina. I found out many years later from someone else I was mispronouncing his last name. He never told me. The giar is pronounced like jar. I would think in the USA a lot of people have different pronunciations than their immigrant ancestors did. Sometimes different spellings.
We pronounce these italian names the same in Hungarian too. It is weird that americans always pronounce everything the way they would in english. I hate when the say Porsche, BMW, Mercedes They don’t even understand me when I say Michael Schumacher.
This italian girl is struggling a lot when she switches language, me too... some people can switch fast and accurately, but is really a talent, i remember an interview of Giancarlo Esposito where he says his name in the middle of a phrase and the switch impressed me so much, i still remember it as an example

When Callie goes back to the US she can start correcting all her friends on how they pronounce different languages. "Well ACTUALLY it's pronounced Versace!🧐" People love that.
It is beautiful how the American girl could immediately imitate the correct Italian pronounciation when the Italian girl had said how to do that. I am an older guy (49), for our generation it is somehow more difficult. You young guys are very good at it, maybe because of the media, the much more global world and human relations. I am Hungarian, and there was a famous Hungarian Senator in the US, Tom Lantos, who had emigrated from here to the States around 1944-45 I guess, and was living there for a very long time, and I remember hearing him speak in the early 90s and his American English pronounciation was still very poor, after almost half a century in an environment among all native speakers. He was still speaking "Hunglish". And now when a student of mine goes to the States with a scholarship and comes back, (s)he immediately speaks English like a native speaker. You are a better generation than us :)
If I'm not wrong, in strict "standard" italian it's pronounced Giórgió, with both closed vowels. The thing is not many italians pronounce it like that, me included. I tend to pronounce it like Jordy did, with the first vowel opened and the second closed "Giòrgió". That is to say, that sometimes there is no "correct" pronunciation! If you are learning Italian don't get frustrated and just have fun with it!😄
Yeah, the Italian pronunciation is totally a chaos, everyone does whatever he want. For example Da Vinci has to pronunce "davvinci" with the Syntactic Gemination of the V.
Still isn't, it's in a different group of letters called lettere straniere away from main alphabet along with k, w, x and y. J is actually called i lunga, long i.
@@notfound9816 "x" is more common since some words are of Greek origin, but words that originated from Latin don't, also we don't use "y" a lot because the we already have the "i" sound. So we say foreign letters even from the ones imported from Greece, because the alphabet originates from Latin
@@giordanaorban Ah! I was wondering... so Jordy is for Giordana! In Spain we use "Jorge" for male George name (both with gutural J,G) and as far as I know and "Georgina" for female. But I'm not really sure if "Giordana" is related to "Georgina". Catalonians use "Jordi" for George instead (in Catalan they use soft J, with the same sound as english and italian G). The only "Giordano" I know is obviously the famous astronomer Giordanio Bruno (1548-1600). In Latin Iordanus... is related to Jordan country or Jordan river?
It reminds me when I heard two American guys speaking German - they sounded Chinese 😂 anyway Callie is doing really great job and Jordi is a nice teacher 🙂
Callie used a reduced vowel in the "da" part of "da Vinci". Reduced vowel are very common in US English and probably UK too. I always have to listen to myself first before I record a pronunciation for a student. I don't change my speech, I just tell the student when and where I'm using a reduced vowel. Example. There's three A's in the word banana. Most people only make a proper short A sound for the second one. The first and last are reduced.
As far as i know,it is for the most part common in the U.S. .I mean my country was later colonized by the British and we don't pronounce "da" like how Callie did .
The short "A" sound is called a schwa represented by this symbol in IPA /ə/ and it usually appears when any vowel (not just the "A" sound) is unstressed in a word. Like in the words butter, about, solution, the, pronunciation, up, the indefinite article 'a', book, study, and many more. And /ə/ is not only in English either. It's in many other languages that say it when a sound or syllable is unstressed in a word.
@@jahirareyes1102 The UK has a lot of accents, some probably use it more than others. I'm honestly not sure what the vowel sound is for the first and last A sounds in "banana" in a common UK accent, received pronunciation, Cockney etc. The IPA character is an upside little e character.
In spanish we say it almost like italian but not quite. She was a bit hard on callie, she was almost right everytime and everyone will understand you in italy.

Leonardo Da Vinci his real name is Leonardo di Ser Piero. The name "Da Vinci" is the place where he is comming from. "Da= from" and "Vinci" is de Village where he is comming from
It is funny to me that in any language there are different accents and that's normal. Italians don't feel confortable if you speak italian with any accent. To me, if you can communicate that's more than enough.
I don't think it's about having an accent, it's more the fact that there are many words where if you change a vowel or if you don't pronounce the double consonant right you're saying another word 🤔
@@TechnoGuys99 So what ? In the Supermarkets and Grocerie stores across France, you're gonna Italian snacks like pasta, spaghetti, Vinegar oil and Balsamic . Before Covid 19 happened. I went to Rome, Italy. They have French snacks in their stores. Like Croissant, Baguette..... So it's no surprise. That was kinda Being an European is about being sharing stuff with others
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 it's not that if I buy brie in Italy then it's an Italian cheese and viceversa,that doesn't make sense Those “croissant” you saw were “cornetti”, the croissant is originally from Austria but through trade it arrived earlier in Italy than in France. France has taken a lot and shared very little in its history
@@TechnoGuys99 Austria actually did come out with Croissant in the first place. The Queen of France Marie Antoinette is the one who brought it to our country France
It's not actually that you don't pronounce the "i" you still do it but it's very subtle, the only thing that you heard is that the sound of the "g" changes, when there is an "i" you pronounce it more like "joke" when there isn't a "i" you pronounce it more like "gone" so at the end "gi" is the almost the equivalent of the English "j" and Italian "g" is almost the same as the English one
Fun fact: Leonardo da Vinci, Vinci wasn’t his last name, it’s just where he was from. Also, in Northern Italy, an s is pronounced as a voiced z so "casa" is pronounced caːza as stated in the video but in the South it is still pronounced as an s. So it depends where you are at, as to how it is pronounced.
Donatella is not even common in the South Italy 🤣 Anyway I was thinking she can make her say some italian tongue twister. For example: there's a very famous tongue twister with the rolling r and it would be nice to watch. You know like a challenge where two different guys from two different countries have to pronounce the tongue twister of the person in front of them
To be honest the pronounce of "da Vinci" is not "da-Vinci", but "da.vvinci" with Syntactic gemination of the V. It's the same with "a casa" that is "a.ccàsa". Mona Lisa is not Mona Lisa, but Monna Lisa. And the real name of Michelangelo wasn't Michelangelo but Michelagnolo.
♥️♥️ Really i am not from Italy But in some words we pronounce look like Italian language I love Italian language and I wanna to learn Italian language If God wills Because it is my Favorite language
I love these vids, but to be fair to the Americans. Our phoenix rules here are different than those in Europe and even in the UK. So, by Italian standards she is not pronouncing it correctly, but by American rules she is. Example. we have a vowel - consonant - vowel rule. (A, E, I, O, U=vowels) if the word is lined up in this format the vowel is "long" meaning if it were "A" and in "Face" the letter "A" is long and sounds line "A" now "ah"...The Brits make fun of us for the way be pronounce common words all the time and vise versa.
Actually it is more a problem of the English language than the USA, also per from the UK have problems with italian, not to talk about latin or pseudo-latin. In Harry potter all the pseudo-latin words are pronunced like English and not like latin. Than of course it changes a lot the pronunciation of the vowels from UK, to the US to Australia etc. But is more a language related thing I'd say.

"Da= from" and "Vinci" is de Village where he is comming from
Cristoforo Colombo? Amerigo Vespucci?
It is funny to me that in any language there are different accents and that's normal. Italians don't feel confortable if you speak italian with any accent. To me, if you can communicate that's more than enough.
I don't think it's about having an accent, it's more the fact that there are many words where if you change a vowel or if you don't pronounce the double consonant right you're saying another word 🤔
I disagree. Italians are really used to accents as the variety of Italian pronunciations throughout the different regions is incredible.
Mona Lisa : made by a man from Italy 🇮🇹 , the genius Leonardo da Vinci , and now the art is in Louvre , France 🇫🇷 , i love the history
Yep the Mona Lisa is indeed at the Louvre Museum in Paris 🇫🇷🇮🇹
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 still italian like for example Napoleone, Bugatti, crepes, macarons or corsica
@@TechnoGuys99 So what ? In the Supermarkets and Grocerie stores across France, you're gonna Italian snacks like pasta, spaghetti, Vinegar oil and Balsamic . Before Covid 19 happened. I went to Rome, Italy.
They have French snacks in their stores. Like Croissant, Baguette.....
So it's no surprise. That was kinda
Being an European is about being sharing stuff with others
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 it's not that if I buy brie in Italy then it's an Italian cheese and viceversa,that doesn't make sense
Those “croissant” you saw were “cornetti”, the croissant is originally from Austria but through trade it arrived earlier in Italy than in France.
France has taken a lot and shared very little in its history
@@TechnoGuys99 Austria actually did come out with Croissant in the first place. The Queen of France Marie Antoinette is the one who brought it to our country France
I like their chemistry, and the video is funny 🤣
'In italy when you have g,i and o toghether you don't pronounce the 'i', i just learned how to pronounce my own name haha
It's not actually that you don't pronounce the "i" you still do it but it's very subtle, the only thing that you heard is that the sound of the "g" changes, when there is an "i" you pronounce it more like "joke" when there isn't a "i" you pronounce it more like "gone" so at the end "gi" is the almost the equivalent of the English "j" and Italian "g" is almost the same as the English one
Monna lisa si scrive con due n perpiacere...
Sensacional. O "R" do italiano é ótimo para aprender! kkk.
Fun fact: Leonardo da Vinci, Vinci wasn’t his last name, it’s just where he was from.
Also, in Northern Italy, an s is pronounced as a voiced z so "casa" is pronounced caːza as stated in the video but in the South it is still pronounced as an s. So it depends where you are at, as to how it is pronounced.
In sardinia we say ca:za just like northern italy
What about central Italy?
My surname is Vinci and I was triggered at first by how she said it ahahahah
Donatella is actually a sister of the founder.
Hint, there's no short 'a' in Italian. As the owner of an Italian surname that nobody can pronounce, I found this one to be a bit painful... 🤣
What do you mean there's no short 'a' in Italian?🤔
Do you people have schools in Usa?
Lol callie is in every video
La Gioconda, nota anche come Monna Lisa
Donatella is not even common in the South Italy 🤣
Anyway I was thinking she can make her say some italian tongue twister. For example: there's a very famous tongue twister with the rolling r and it would be nice to watch.
You know like a challenge where two different guys from two different countries have to pronounce the tongue twister of the person in front of them
Donatella is common only in Mutant Ninja Turtles
Hello
@@OneGiuseppe free parking lot, palestine !!!
The only famous Italians Americans know are pizza eating cartoon turtles!
Monna*
"Galileo, Galileo, Galileo Figarooooooo!"
A pronúncia desse "r" é bem próxima do que se pronuncia em algumas regiões daqui. Principalmente as regiões que receberam imigração italiana.
8:57 is "most hardest" grammatically correct?
In italian is Monna Lisa
I thought it was La Gioconda.
@@B-A-L yes.Gioconda or Monna Lisa.Lisa Gherardini
Holy, would never have said that the american girl is the american girl, she looks so pretty and european...
Americans are mostly europeans.
😍
Donatella is the sister of the late designer Gianni Versace
Whenever I think of Italian names I think of Cologido from "A Bronx Tale" :-) Also my first name in Italian: "Amabile".
Calogero.
Jordi is cute and bubbly!
To be honest the pronounce of "da Vinci" is not "da-Vinci", but "da.vvinci" with Syntactic gemination of the V. It's the same with "a casa" that is "a.ccàsa".
Mona Lisa is not Mona Lisa, but Monna Lisa.
And the real name of Michelangelo wasn't Michelangelo but Michelagnolo.
♥️♥️
Really i am not from Italy
But in some words we pronounce look like Italian language I love Italian language and I wanna to learn Italian language If God wills
Because it is my Favorite language
That's so nice, spero che la imparerai un giorno ❤️🇮🇹
@@irenecarrillo6750 Thank you so much do you have any way to learn It
Actually Donatella Versace is the sister of Gianni Versace, the founder😅
Donatella VERSACE💜
love these vids! u guys are the perfect duo!
Michelangiolo 👍
anyone can help me the history of the family name Mañago in Magna Gratia Italy?
Donatella is the sister of the founder of Versace… fun fact: Versace was gay so he didn’t has children, he died by being shooted in his eye by a fan…
These were all people I knew but if you asked me to list Italians I wouldn’t have thought of most of them, especially the designers.
Rip haha, mafia will always come to mind first
Me, as a Brazilian, would be soccer players
È una pazza lei :)
She's italian... but her name is Jordy? WUT?
Jordy is her nickname, short for her full name Giordana.
Why she doesn't have shoes on?
MoNNa lisa, doubld N
2.20 però gli inglesi/americani nella "canzone" I'm blue lo pronunciano bene il da! ahahah non dicono de be di de be de
JoJo!!!!!!!!!!!
its strange there is no Amerigo Vespucci, that s why its called america and american
I love these vids, but to be fair to the Americans. Our phoenix rules here are different than those in Europe and even in the UK. So, by Italian standards she is not pronouncing it correctly, but by American rules she is. Example. we have a vowel - consonant - vowel rule. (A, E, I, O, U=vowels) if the word is lined up in this format the vowel is "long" meaning if it were "A" and in "Face" the letter "A" is long and sounds line "A" now "ah"...The Brits make fun of us for the way be pronounce common words all the time and vise versa.
Actually it is more a problem of the English language than the USA, also per from the UK have problems with italian, not to talk about latin or pseudo-latin. In Harry potter all the pseudo-latin words are pronunced like English and not like latin. Than of course it changes a lot the pronunciation of the vowels from UK, to the US to Australia etc. But is more a language related thing I'd say.
Si dice: MONNA LISA...con 2 N.
È la forma contratta di MADONNA.
Am I the only one who thinks that American chick is so cute & hot?
