The voLabulary: for Italian and English learners (and hey, you never stop learning!)
Il voLabolario: per chi impara l'italiano o l'inglese (e, via, non si smette mai di imparare!)

Snow - Neve

There's quite a lot of people (at least 5, that is) landing on this site because they would like to know the correct italian pronunciation of the names of the two mascots of the Torino 2006 Olympics (the ball-headed red bimbo, Neve, and the blue yob whose head you can see through, Gliz). So, for everyone interested: "Neve" (Snow) in italian... just say "never" in english, possibly without any "r" sound, and making any "E" sounds a bit wider. That's pretty accurate. "Gliz", you just say it in English, most people will understand. The others don't know who he is anyway, so don't worry.

C'e' un bel po' di gente (almeno 5, insomma) che atterra su questo sito perche' vorrebbero sapere la pronuncia italiana corretta dei nomi delle due mascotte delle olimpiadi di Torino 2006 (la pupa rossa con la testa a palla, Neve, e il teppistello blu attraverso la cui testa ci si vede, Gliz). Quindi, per tutti quelli interessati... Nah. Se state leggendo questa parte l'italiano gia' lo sapete, o lo state imparando, e "Neve" e' una parola davvero facile, non vi annoio. Dato che presumibilmente presto o tardi dato che sapete l'italiano qualche straniero vi fara' questa stessa domanda, vi lancio una sfida: raccontiamo che si pronuncia "MORPI"?

Ciao! I've found your website when searching for discussion groups about the italian language. Congratulations for the very nice idea! I'm a resident of the Netherlands and I'm learning (or trying to learn) italian because I really appreciate this language and I want to be able to communicate with the natives when I get to visit Italy. I'll come here frequently to check for updates, I hope you'll show up again soon! ;)
