[ as ch in
English church ]
còdo (nail)
cìkara (tea cup)
causkàre (to speak gibberish)
cénjo (rock)
cò (exclamation)
kó (when)
còpa (loaf)
cupaskóndare (hide and seek)
cupegàre (chew with the mouth open)
NOTE: The letter C is always
pronounced as church, and never as
the letter K [as c in English cake]. This
distinction needs to be made especially when the letter C is at the end of a word (frequent in Northern dialects). For example, pec (fir-tree) is pronounced as church,
while pek (baker) is pronounced as cake.
In the official version
of the alphabet, additional symbols are available to distinguish
these pronounciations (see Vèneto
Arkìvio). |
