There you go -- a "New York Italian" thing... not an
Italian thing. Same as the NY/NJ mispronunciation of most
Italian pasta names/dishes
mani-
got ...Huh?
How do you pronounce it??
It's not pronounced like Mrs.
Manicotti in the Honeymooners!
It's pronounced : mOn - e - gOth
In Italy, except for the O, the other vowels are sounded out differently than in America.
The O is still sounded out as a long O just like in the english language.
The E is sounded out as a a short E ( like in the word wEt)
So in Italy you would say, (just like here in east Geoff
)
m
O-N
e-g
Oth
