Topic: Australians: Do you pronounce "pasta" like this?
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #8,128
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y21U4BMeX5wListen to this morbidly obese Australian man pronounce "pasta". Do all Australians pronounce "pasta" like this? (He says "parsta" instead of "passta".) I'm British, this sounds so fucking weird to me.

It doesn't really sound that strange in my opinion. It's got a distinct Australian pronunciation, but I don't mind it too much.

It's got that fat person's accent to it (I don't know what it is, fat people have a sound), but yeah, that's about it. I'm trying to pronounce it otherwise. How the dick do you pronounce it?

That just sounds weird/feels weird to say. Parsta is the one true way.

I suppose yours makes more sense, with the whole silent letter being needed to explain that.
So, tomayto or tomarto?

WHY!?
@142,247 (Unintentional Jackass !LASXURl1b6)
Tomayto, I suppose. Tomarto and potarto seem like they'd be wrong.

there is no silent letter!
the vowels are pronounced thus:
a = ah
e = eh
i = ee
o = oh
u = oo as in look

Because that is the correct pronunciation of the letter a! Americans pronounce things poorly. Germans pronounce English well.

no that's the names of the letters (although A would be better as ay [eh is kiwi pronunciation])
Kiwi vowel guide
A = eh
E = ih
I = u like in but
O = oh (really short)
U = oo line in book
