In Italian the "a" in scampi is pronounced like "ah" as in water not like "platter". Let me know if I am wrong here.

So the "a" in scampi would have the "ah" sound, yes?

Having a trivial debate here with some friends. Need to know if I am correct on this. Thanks.

Being from slightly up-Norf, I'd pronounce it with the "a" like from "platter".

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

im not italian but i can tell you, that 1. this is plural (Singular would be Scampo).
2. you are right if i understood what you mean, its pronounced as "ah" like in water.
or like in father, car, bar, task. thats basically the a you need
(Based on the fact that the english "a" is mostly pronounced as "ae", feels like that at least)

I'd say pronounce it like a German would pronounce an "a" and you are doin it right.

For me this is the best answer.
I claim the "scampo" term as Venetian, despite the origin is probably Greek or so.

I have heard it pronounced by an Italian, but the a was actually somewhere between those in far and fat. Perhaps Beelzebub will enlighten us.

Slacker0074-Dec-14 2:16

When I heard the pronunciation online, it sounded similar to your explanation; between far and fat.

It is pronounced skampi, with the "a" as in bAth. Also, the accent goes to the "a".
