How to pronounce Caprese, like a true Italian.
We've all been to a fancy Italian restaurant where we didn't know how to say anything on the menu.One of those delicious menu items you may want to order, but don't know how to say, is a Caprese salad, a classic Italian dish that can be difficult to pronounce for people from other cultures.Allow me to culture you a little bit today.If you want to sound legit when you go out to eat, you need to know how to pronounce 'Caprese'.
A Caprese salad is a typical Italian salad that's popular in the summertime.It's made of tomato slices and cheese slices with basil leaves.A small amount of salt and pepper is added to the salad.The salad is usually eaten as a main meal or a snack during the day.
There's a lot of symbolism in the dish.The flag of Italy has three stripes: green, white, and red.Some Italians think that the dish symbolizes the colors of the flag.The basil is green, the mozzarella cheese is white, and the tomatoes are red.This is considered a traditional dish in Italy.
There are many different ways people say Caprese."kuh-prey-sey" is the most American way to say it.England and Australia will say "kah-pray-zee."Both of these are wrong.English-speaking countries have a different way of speaking than Italians do.
The way Italians pronouce Caprese is different from the way English-speaking countries do.The rest of the world uses a softer "e" and "s" than Italians do.What is the proper Italian way to say Caprese?
There is no one correct pronunciation.The way Italians say Caprese depends on where the speaker is from."Cah-preh-zseh" is what the most Southern parts of Italy will say.It will be pronounced "cah-prey-zay" in the Northern parts of Italy.If you can say them correctly, it doesn't matter which pronunciation you use.
This is the same as northern and southern English.They are both technically correct, but the emphasis is different from region to region.This is a problem with other Italian words that appear on bottles of wine.
I said about other Italian words.The English language is different from the Italian language.Italian words are harder to say in English.If you want to fix this problem, you should get some Italian level pronunciation and apply it to all words that you encounter from that point forward.You can always search for it, and see what comes up.If you're looking for a more permanent solution, the Duolingo app is a good choice.
You can order a salad at an Italian restaurant if you know proper Italian pronunciation.You're friends and server are going to be very impressed.
