Aww jeez, mama's Mac & Cheese all over his knees.... no, no, no that doesn't sound right.
I am quite curious how Americans pronounce Gnocchi. I hope it's horribly wrong.
Not American but Gnotschi
Knotschi, das g ist ein hattes g
You're right about the g, but the second part is more like ck (as in knocky), not tschi like cappuccino but ck like cacca. I'm not English nor Italian so 'tsch' and 'ck' might not be the best letters to describe the sounds.
sorry i was pulling your leg. where i live people some people call them "knotschi", instead of ([ˈɲɔkki]).
wikitionary has pronunciation examples: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Gnocchi
G as in GIF
I am a heathen, so usually NO-Key, but in culinary circles people who want to nod in the general direction of proper Italian will say something closer to knee-YO-key. Mid-word vowel sounds in American English (all English?) can be extremely variable, though
If you want a proper IPA transcription, this video seems about right.
nyochi (where the ch is more glottal than tch-y)
Any hope for it being anything close to the original is a lost cause at this point.
Yokey with the subtlest little ng at the beginning.
Just like everything else they do!
Lollllllll
on the toilet?
Momma's cheesy macaroni.
I like to think that Shady is what he calls himself in his head, and Marshall is merely the persona he affects in his day-to-day. Like Batman.
