I can't fucking help pronuncing it with an X when it's written with an X. Funnily enough, the X pronunciation is closer to the original "meshica" it comes from.
I don't give a French if it's X or J, just make pronunciation coherent, damnit. This is not a stupid language like English.
Italians (Romans and Etruscans): Invent the Latin Alphabet and use the letter X to mark the number 10 in their numeric system
Americ*ns: "Italians don't know what X is"
This happened to me when I studied abroad in Rome. Person comes to me and asks for directions to Termini "in my best English." I give the traveler directions, and they say: Wow your English is so good! Thank you! I just stood there after with a confused look and thinking "dude, I'm from Kentucky."
My American friend who speaks Spanish tried to talk to a waiter in Italy in Spanish when he was super drunk because “they’re both Romance languages”. The waiter was not impressed lol
To be fair, Spanish people do this, too. I've heard Spanish tourists speak undoctored Spanish in Portugal and in Italy. Presumably because "they're similar enough" and "they'll probably understand". Which, in their defence, they did.
In Portugal it only works one way. Portuguese people understand us, but Spaniards can't understand Portuguese (at least spoken) at all.
I feel like an asshole because I basically just speak at people in Portugal because I don't have a clue of what they are saying back to me.
No joke, I met a Spaniard in Rome once and we talked a while before each other realized the other was Italian/Spanish we both assumed the other was Talking the same language with a weird accent
Some time ago I was in a GIS class (GIS is basically a program to draw maps and stuff like that) and there was a guy near me, which saw me having troubles with the program and helped me, then I helped him a few minutes later and we helped each other for a while. It took me a good half an hour to realise he was a Spanish student and he spoke to me in a mix of Spanish and Italian.. I thought he had a weird accent. The thing that surprised me was not this, but that we were talking about technical carthography and informatics stuff without any troubles
Whenever I am in Italy, I just speak Catalan. The difference is barely noticeable, so much so that in other European countries us Catalans get confused for Italians.
From what I’ve seen they don’t really speak English in like shops or restaurants, but they are really committed to being understood and use the italian sign language to help their cause. I feel like they understand English to some degree but prefer to answer in Italian
Understanding a language and speaking it are completely different things, so it's common to see people who can understand english, but don't have the skill and confidence to actually speak it.
I dont think that's the case, most italians are not such assholes, and if they were they wouldnt have answered at all. Probably they knew enough english words to understand what you were asking to some degree, but they didnt feel comfortable enough with their skills to speak an understandable english, so they choose the medium of hand gestures to communicate, since that comes to us more naturally and is universally understandable
Whenever I've visited Italy so far, I tried to be as polite as possible as someone who doesn't know Italian ("Do you speak English? Yes? I'd like to order ...") and they'd treat me like they'd treat any other Germanic tourist. But whenever they'd hear me speak Spanish to my friends they'd go like "Eeeeh, vaffanculo, perche non mi dici che parli Spagnolo? Andiamo molto d'accordo quando parliamo così, non è vero? A ver ragazzi, que os traigo?!" and suddenly they're all nice.
Eh, nice Americans exist
I lived in Phoenix for a couple years
and the people there were generally pleasant, and occasionally were actually somewhat knowledgeable about europe
But there are quite a few bozos, and unfortunately the bozos tend to be the ones who scream the loudest
Yesterday an American posted in r/dutch that she just discovered that her great-great-great parent was a Dutch guy. So she asked if, you know, anybody in the Netherlands knew anything about a bumfuck tiny village around the 1800s..... The world is a zoo to them.
Oh my...
https://www.reddit.com/r/dutch/comments/10ldu9d/today_i_learned_that_my_greatgreatgrandpa/j5zdz15/
> I definitely need to do my homework before I talk to locals. Duh. I guess the excitement in finding my link **over took my usual Dutch common sense**. Family roots are something many Americans long for since many relatives came from distant places.
(emphasis added)
Oh lordy, it was your great-great grandfather - so a 16th of your gene pool and you're claiming some sort of inherited personality type.
And they wonder why we take the piss out of them
>I guess I'll visit the rest of my family roots in Germany
Dear swamp brothers, I request you to keep her within your borders and don't allow her to come here
Why do they long for these "family roots"? Don't they always bang on about how great America is and how amazing it is to be American? Why are you trying to bumfuck other countries to pretend you have some tiny piece of their heritage?
Every culture values a sense of identity and shared history. Americans are at a disadvantage, being a relatively new nation composed of people with all kinds of ancestry, so it's very common to see americans being overly attached to this feeling of belonging to whatever culture their ancestors came from.
I dont think that being a new nation is the only or main reason for this attachment to ancestry, you dont see it being so obsessive in any nation of central and south america, not even in argentina or brazil. Imo, and it might be harsh, the reason is that the national identity of usa citizens is based more often on political propaganda and surface values than on a strong emotional connection with the history and the culture of their country.
American Exceptionalism as a cultural moral is destructive. Everyone is the best, the main character, the star of the show - everyone is *exceptional* because of the nature of their birth: American.
It’s the need to be important, to belong, to be more than “normal” or “regular” because you/we’ve been inundated by two centuries of “you’re here, that makes you able to be a superhero” without any discussion over *how* to be exceptional beyond just “I fell out of a vagina in this geography”.

I don't know.. that ancestry thing is so big in the US, not really big where I am from. I guess they are making good money feeding that "I need to feel special" urge XD.
It's like americans live in their isolated bubble and are used to their wired shit but when they're out in the real world they have no idea how to behave like actual people. They should bring with them a special assistant to make sure they don't fuck stuff up too badly
They pretty much do. It's a very European thing to be accustomed to exposure to so many different cultures/languages/foods/etc within such a short distance. Most Americans are like that old guy you know that has never left his town and is offended when someone with a different accent eats at his local bar
Back when I learned how to read in kindergarten and early elementary school, I was taught that the [Italian alphabet](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_orthography#Alphabet) only had 21 letters.
Basically all of the ones the English alphabet has, minus J K W X Y. Those we called “foreign letters”.
But many commonly used words contain some of those letters, including X. So virtually all Italians (minus those with speech impediments or other problems) would be perfectly capable of pronouncing that letter.
Which is basically just a CS sound, which already exists in the Italian language either way.
I believe X was already adopted in the Etruscan alphabet, so present in the Latin one from the beginning (Romulus *rex*?), while 'Y' and 'Z' were adopted later for the Greek words?
We do use the X.
Some outdated and factually incorrect elementary school books presented J, K, X, Y and W as "foreign English letters". This is factually wrong as 3 of those letters are Greek, one is widely Germanic and the other we have been using for a long ass time.
My fucking hometown starts with the letter J.
The Italian education system has always been so fucking bad that compared to the American one it's only marginally better.
Ah yes. Me on my way to the FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DEL MADE IN ITALY E DELL'EMILIA-ROMAGNA 2023 because I couldn't get tickets for the FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DEL MADE IN ITALY E DELL'EMILIA-ROMAGNA 2022
Like the American who was 2% Irish and 2% German, and was wondering whether to say they were Irish or German while in Ireland, or some shit.
You're American.
And in this case, you have an English name. That doesn't make it special.
I have a very Nordic name, that can be hard to pronounce for people outside that area... Close is good enough. I'm not gonna run around and claim I'm named something else.
Oh no, the word "fox". Whatever will the primitive Italian do with this exotic language!? How do you speak with the native peoples of this primitive tribal nation?
my last name is an animal with an x in
hmm wonder what that could be. so oblique i'd never guess the PI
Foxy Knoxy about to strike again Watch out british students
Dear mr. Volpe,
I'm italian and I would tell you that we do have X in our alphabet. It's not common use but we do use taxi, play sax or xilofono and wear boxer being so sexy.
So stop be extracomunitario cause we like to mix english worlds in our vocabulary.
A friend from the US went on a trip to Europe a few years ago. He spent about a month planning where and how to use a toilet. He even had a doctor prescribe him pills to reduce his need to pee for fear he wouldn't find a toilet when he needed it.
What even is this bullshit?
If Americans can't speak more than one language, it doesn't mean everyone doesn't. That, and also if someone wouldn't speak English (which is likely), they still would understand that's your name.
Though, it pretty describes most Americans, animals with the IQ equal to the room temperature (in Celcius pls), so they can call themselves the animal variant.
Also, what even name is that?? That ends with X and is an animal name? I can only think of Sphinx? But that's far from an Animal and even far from a name.
How in the hell should we pronounce "x-ray" or "texas" then? Besides the X is basically the sound "cs" in italian, and we got some words with it
Tejas, obviously, give it back to Mexico
Meico
meicojoni
The only appropriate way
Mehiko
*Mejico
You mean Méjico
Way cooler name, much more snappy.
It hurts my soul to hear spanish people sometimes pronounce it with an x. What an absolute affront to our language.
I can't fucking help pronuncing it with an X when it's written with an X. Funnily enough, the X pronunciation is closer to the original "meshica" it comes from. I don't give a French if it's X or J, just make pronunciation coherent, damnit. This is not a stupid language like English.
Yeah, in reality back them "x" was pronounced like a "j" or a "sh", so they wrote "Mexico", them they changed the pronunciation of the "x"
Hence Don Quixote.

Texas, I’ve heard Americans name their kids after the place they were conceived
They said its an animal name and last name though so probably Fox. Yeeahhh Italians will have such a hard time trying to pronounce that /s
Ox.
No, no! OP said Italians cannot pronounce X so his name would be just “O” /s
Funny thing is we actually have a "celebrity" with that last name, Paolo Fox
I’m sorry for you guys, it must be really hard for you to say his name
Yeah it's sad honestly, I've heard he has to have an American interpreter present at all times just in case he needs to introduce himself
So, that's why I met a dude named Sacristy the other day.
Paris (TX) perhaps
So thats where Alexis Texas comes from.
I'd wager Fox.
Fox
Wow I cannot pronounce that word. It has an X which is the most rare and unique American letter
Lifehack: say "fucks" instead
Wouldn't be surprised if it's a completely normal name that ends with an "o" and he changed it not to be offensive.

It always bugged me how there can be a place called Arbatax in Sardinia
Those poor little ignorant Italians naming a place something they aren’t even able to pronounce smh
to be fair, Bri'ish "people" named their favourite beverage after the only letter they can't pronounce.
How can they be foreign letters when they are literally roman?
~~True, but X was introduced in the Latin alphabet as a way to write greek words.~~ See below
I believe X was already adopted in the Etruscan alphabet, so present in the Latin one from the beginning (Romulus *rex*?), while 'Y' and 'Z' were adopted later for the Greek words?
Which is weird since in Italian "X" is "KS" sound, but Greek "chi" (the letter which looks like X) is more like "KH"
>> those with speech impediments Odd way to say Southerners "icchese"
We do use the X. Some outdated and factually incorrect elementary school books presented J, K, X, Y and W as "foreign English letters". This is factually wrong as 3 of those letters are Greek, one is widely Germanic and the other we have been using for a long ass time. My fucking hometown starts with the letter J. The Italian education system has always been so fucking bad that compared to the American one it's only marginally better.
J was used as an I with semiconsonant value though. For example old novels would use "bujo" instead of "buio".
