How do you pronounce ciabatta

[TrixieFranklin]

I've just realised my husband, mum and dad all pronounce Ciabatta completely differently.
Between them they say:
Key-a-bar-ter
Chee-bar-ter
Chee-a-bat-cha

Now I've been saying it, looking at it and thinking about it too much and the whole word looks ridiculous now!

How do you say it?

Chee a batta

Chee batta. Not 100% that's right.

Chee a batta for me

Chee ah battah

Chee a batta
Or chee batta

Che-batta

Chee a batta

Chuh·ba·tuh - what I meant 😊

Cha ba tta
So Cha like in cha-rlie, ba like in ba-t and tta like in ta-n

How do you say it, OP?

Another vote for Chee-a-batta lived in southern Italy for a year in my youth.

Chee a batta.

Cha-batta with a slight 'ia' in the first bit then a longer 'a' in the second bit. Sounds OK in my head.

Cha baat a

Chee a batta.

Cha bat a

In Italian the 'ci' letter combo is pronounced 'ch'.

Locally we all say SEE-UH-BAT-UH.

I know this isn’t how it’s pronounced it Italy but somehow it’s become part of the local dialect.

Cha Bat A
I thought the ci made a ch sound, like in cappucCIno

Chee a batta

See a bat a

Chee batta?? That's what I say anyway.

Cha-barter

Chee a batta

It's not chee-a-bata. The 'i' is only there to make the 'c' into a 'ch' sound, it doesn't make an 'ee' sound at all.

It's pronounced 'cha-bata'. The 'a' is somewhere between a flat 'a' and a long 'ah'.

Chebatta
