We call minced meat (“ground beef” in the Americas) a hamburger, burger, or burger patty when it’s shaped into a flat circle.

It’s not uncommon for us to call a circle of ground beef a “burger” even if it’s sans-bun.

Worse still is the pronunciation of “bologna”. How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce “herbs” or “pecans”. Then again, our pronunciation of “lieutenant” is messed up.

The “g” isn’t silent. the “gn” in Italian (and French) is pronounced like a “n” with a tilde (~, e.g “ñ”) in Spanish.

  • bologna = bo lo nya
  • gnocchi = nyo ki
  • cognac = co nyak
  • jalapeño = ha la pe nyo
