Americans are so mesmerised by the concept of there being more than one language

Interviewer: “Do you get annoyed when we say the names of italian food wrong?” Victoria: “No no” Interviewer: *says it wrong* Victoria: “WHAT😠”

Damiano is savage...he was like yeah i get sometimes mad 🤣🤣 he is brutal honest...so refreshing

Ethan acts like a very polite alien trying to learn human interaction. (I say that as a fan who loves him lol)

Do you get annoyed with the way that we say italian foods? Everyone: Ouh nooo... nooo Damiano: YES. Sometimes... I love that he's so honest!

When you speak Italian you must pronunce every single letter of every single word

damiano dying every time they butcher the pronunciation lmaooo

Speaking as an Italian, we do get that people have an accent when speaking a foreign language, it's ok. But we do get pissed when they make the 🤌 hand gesture without even knowing it means something like "what are you saying?" Or even "What the f are you saying?" Like, it's not that polite, and they do it all the time and completely out of context.

Watching Americans struggling with Italian is very entertaining, not gonna lie

When will American people understand that they don't need to throw in a random hand gesture to pronounce Italian correctly? Also, they don't need to sound like Luigi. On the other hand, ask an Italian how we pronounce "Manhattan" :D

I'm a German, I have no business correcting anyone, but when my American host dad first pronounced ciabatta as shee-ba-da, I was stunlocked.

The guy with the hat was the only one with a good ear for the language, the other two are just hopeless 😂

Ethan is so cuteeee, the way he tries to get involved without sounding offended 😂😭 my heart

How Maneskin laugh is hilarious 😂 "It's all about the R", well I keep telling my beginner students so, even if it's not "all about it"! Damiano is kinda the only one guessing the mispronounced food 😅

I know food questions are stupid questions, especially when you have in your face this talented kids, but I liked when Damiano took Ethan's hand while laughing 0:48. Precious frendship. Love them

the most important point after all is not the trilled-r but caring about the vowels, the clearest and less guttural, the better; it's really a vowel-driven (if not vowel-obsessed) language.

1:13 ethan trying to hide his laugh is adorable, he's trying so hard to be nice LMAO

i have never in my life felt more represented when they all went "What???" when the guy said "panettone" broke me

0:04 Bless you Damiano. Speak the truth baby 😄

I’ve always wanted to learn Italian . My first language is Spanish , so I think it’s very similar so maybe it won’t be too hard for me to learn it. Sounds like such a beautiful and romantic language. This band has just given me that little push to want to learn even more.

I'm dying😂😂😂😂 they don't even understand, only Damiano gets it😂😂😂😂😂

I lived in Italy for 4 yrs. When I got there, People would just look at me and shake their heads hen I tried to speak. After a yr I pretty much had it down and then I was accepted. They are proud of their language and fiercely protective of their customs. Italians are on a whole other level of cool!

As an Italian, I'm loving this 😂😂😂😂😂 I feel Damiano all the time

me working at an italian restaurant with people mispronouncing risotto every 5 seconds and losing my mind even though i'm not even italian

Sto morendooo🤣🤣🤣 " What?! 🤔😅" 'A ricootta"!!! 🤣🤣🤣😜 Bellissimi!!! "Dajeee" 🇮🇹 💪

0:23 😒 Someone should explain to the american girl that the "Italian" accent that they insist on imitating is in fact the typical accent of the Sicilian dialect, the deep south island of our "Beautiful Country". And it would be appreciated if someone started not using it so inappropriately, 'cause we know that when is use in this way, it's always to emphasize that pressing stereotype of "pizza, pasta, mandolin" type. In Naples we don't have that accent, we don't have it in Rome (where the Måneskin come from) and we don't have it as a base outside of Sicily, 'cause each region is "on its own" as far as dialects are concerned. Greetings ✨

As an Italian, I want to say: 🇮🇹❤️ 1) Honest answer doesn’t mean rude, just spontaneous 2) mispronounces words is super ok, an Italian will love just by the fact that you have tried 3) hand gesture. Yeah, used mostly meaningless, but I it’s ok, it’s funny. 4) the only thing that, maybe, can really triggered an Italian is saying that you’re Italian too… when it’s implied that your not just because your gran gran gran mother was it. But in general, don’t be scared to say Italian words, ask for the culture or whatever. Italians in general are very friendly, perhaps too much since I know that many people do not like physical affection like kisses and hugs ahah. ❤️

This video should be called “how to butcher one of the most beautiful languages in the world” 😂😂😂

Speaker: *saying an Italian mispronounced word* The guys: “WHAT?!” Damiano: *the only one that understands the words and translates to the others* 😂😂😂 I love them!💪🏻💜 And “ribollita” my gosh, the worst pronunciation for me 😂😂😂 By from Italy 💚

If i was to learn one more language i think it would be italian, bc it just sounds so beautiful and i love the tone of it

They missed Bruschetta. It hurts my ears to hear it mispronounced.

Please teach them how to say names like Giovanni and Gianni the right way, I'm not even Italian but my ears started to bleed already

ahaha! Damiano is super sincere 😂 a clear R is a huge problem for the interviewers 😂 btw Maneskin had fun, these guys are skilled and nice! grandi ragazzi 🔥🔥🔥

It's pretty normal for English speaking people not to pronunciate the final part of the words, but in the Italian language you have to 😊

Damiano:"Aaarigottta"😂😂😂😂😂

Your laughs are great guys! Thanks for teaching me the proper way to say some things in Italian!

*I envy the radio hosts who get to be in the same room as Måneskin -* ❤️

to all American fan and friends: find these guys in italian interviews, really!!! As a Roman i love when they do speak in Italian/Roman. They finally get to be back in being the guys from the block playing for love of music. No dressing room, no make up. Buddies and music. aka Rock 'n Roll

as a brazilian, its easier for me to pronounce italian words, I’m having a blast watching these americans struggling lol

As an italian what makes me a little upset is not the way they are pronouncing those words, but the fact that when they try to pronounce them correctly, they do not only make "italian" gestures, they say it with neapolitan accent! when are they going to understand that is NOT itailan accents and we are not all Super Mario from Naples?

alternate title: maneskin getting a reverse culture shock

As an Englishman married to an Italian, who's lived in Italy for over 12 years, what's interesting here is how it demonstrates a fundamental difference between English and Italian pronuciation. In Italian, almost every word ends with a vowel and is always pronounced. In English, in almost every word that ends with an 'e', the 'e' is silent and changes the pronuciation (i.e. 'fat' would be pronounced as it's spelt but 'fate' would have to spelt more like 'feit' in Italian.) This mispronunciation does work both ways. 'Colgate' is a surname of Anglo-Saxon origin and its brand of toothpaste is sold where I live, but nearly everyone here pronounces it 'Colgattay'!

00,4 Damiano:Ma diverso da loro. So true king. Always with personality.The other three NOOOO,Damiano,YESSSSS

missing the most ridiculous one. It took me two years to realize the word baloney they were using to identify a sad poor quality copy of deli meat mortadella was indeed their way to pronounce bologna.

Thank God I speak Spanish so I know how to pronounce every vowel and roll my Rs, so my Italian pronunciation isn’t that bad 😂

I'm Brazillian and we have a large community of Italians in Brazil, we speak most of the words correctly.

Italians=Ciao Bella---Americans=McDonalds. Since we are talking about stereotypes u know..

This Americans are using more hands than Italians

I would just like to leave it here: I'm in love with Ethan

Growing up with Italian grandparents people used to make fun of my siblings and I all the time. I nearly cried when I met my chef husband who knew exactly what I was talking about lol

That's the beauty, I mean Non native english speakers can speak english(accent can be different) but they also know their own language so it feels so great 🤩🤩❤

I love their interviews

the problem with the rolling tongue on the R is not a big deal but you just gotta work on double consonants words like spaghetti, ricotta, biscotti, etc. every letter needs to be pronounced. 😁

I just showed my Italian dad this and he was complaining/correcting right along side Måneskin.

Dude Ethan through this whole video gives me life, they’re like a proud dad :’)

I like them. They seem genuine

damiano is kinda dying there hahaha

I'm an American and was with a group of friends once in an Italian restaurant. I ordered bruschetta and actually pronounced it properly, and one of my friends said, "Wow, you completely butchered that name." He'd never heard it pronounced properly before.

So he clearly says pasta e fagioli and she keeps saying pasta e fagioleh and the other non Italian ones keep having that totally stereotypical Italian American accent that is the farthest thing ever from real Italian pronunciation. I really don't get what's so hard in repeating a word that has just been said to you, whatever language that might be as long as it doesn't includes sounds that you don't really know how to produce with your mouth.

As an Italian, I think it’s just the tendency. Italian pronunce EVERY singole letter of a word. Ex: 🇮🇹 it’s RICOTTA, but you missed the double TT and the result is RICOTA 🇺🇸 . PANETTONE 🇮🇹 became PANETON 🇺🇸 you missed the double TT and the final E. Just for saying It’s wonderful to see people interested at Italy!

i feel so much pain as Italian every time this happens, and that's often since i don t live in Italy but abroad :) so cool video, fun and instructive ;D

americans when they found out other languages exist...you get a rock band to your show and this is what you ask them??? freaking embarrassing

Incredibile beautiful artist and people!!! You Rock Maneskin spread autentic music!!!🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️

I love them!!!

Gorgeous Damiano!!!!

In Perú, a commercial on Tv say «Panetone italiano» and I used to repeat it 😅, we usually call it « panetón » and it's a tradition to eat every Christmas 💕 People from different countries arrives to Perú the last centuries, in a part of «la Sierra peruana» where my father was born, some italian words are merged with the Quechua language. There are people with Italian ancestry .

when the guests are humble & gracious and the natives sound like they just landed on earth.

0:45 the way he pronounced "panettone" just killed me

Troppo belli e Simpatici sentirli parlare dei buoni piatti culinari Italiani. Complimenti American Peaple 😁🏁🍾🥂🇮🇹

Here in Greece when we say papardella we mean a woman who talks unstoppable...ha ha

I fucking love Damiano.

It is even worse in germany, I am a waitress in my family’s restaurant so I have to listen to germans mispronounce the entire menu ALL DAY LONG😭😂

The Soprano's accent , is not italian accent.

Lmao I'm always shocked when I hear something like this because I can never tell whether the interviewers are joking or not when they mispronounce something as hard as they did riccota here. I mean I'm Polish so it's a foreign name for us to but to be honest I can't imagine not googling or checking in any other way words I'm trying to pronounce. Obviously it's not gonna be perfect even when I try my best (especially since I have waaaaay more problems with listening than reading) but from my observation people don't laugh at you because of that cause we all do better or worse but as long as we're trying it's all good. So it's really hard for me to imagine that Americans honestly don't check or do any research at all (I mean all research you need here is to Google "x pronunciation"). I mean that's just... ignorant? And it's ignorant to a level so high I usually just stare at disbelief at the interviewers cause it's just crazy. Won't even start about the hand gestures cause luckily other people talked about that already but seriously the ricotta one shocked me lol

this is hilarious and so relatable, my gosh

0:21 I don't speak Italian but even I didn't understand what she was saying until I heard the correct pronunciation of 'ricotta' 👀

the stupidest questions I've ever heard. Italy is not only pasta pizza and mandolino and these guys are showing everybody there is something else!

the problem is not the rolled "R", but the changing a letter completely (like "e" with "i" ) or not pronouncing the double letters. But as an italian, i can say that we butcher a lot of english word so.. 😅 Also not the Mario/Luigi accent PLEASE! It's fine if you speak with your accent.

I love Victoria is just like 'what' has no idea what they are talking about so funny oh I also just love Victoria ❤

Damiano legit making fun of them 😂🤣

Spanish and Italian sound so similar! So you have to pronounce what you exactly write... Not like english you write something and you pronounce something else

o panetone saiu tão “brasileiro” KKKKKKKK

Damiano dicendo: A RICOTTAAAAA IO LO AMO JSKKAJJIS

Grazie Maneskin!! Grazie a voi le mie figlie parlano un minimo d’italiano. Cosa sarebbe il loro italiano senza di voi…..

Vi prego le reazioni di Damiano sono stupende HAHAHAHAHA

A RICOTTA!!! A RICOTTA!!!

Just now accidentally stumbled upon this wow pretty cool!!!

that "ciao bella" at the end lol

Italian is really not that difficult to pronounce, people. You just pronounce all the letters as they are supposed to be. Italian, Greek and German are very easy to pronounce once you respect the actual letters. English on the other hand...involves a lot of guessing.

As Italian I literally laughed so bad ‘till the video ended😂😂

I am laughing so hard, best interview ever

You didn’t ask about Capicola or Capocollo - I wanted them to react to how folks in NJ say “Gabagoo” 😅

Negli Usa quando c'è di mezzo l'Italia si finisce sempre a parlare di cibo...anche questa è arte...nel frattempo però fra un pasto e l'altro si è inventato il mondo!

Bravissimi

Grandissimi! ♥

OMG FINALLY, so satisfying

vic’s reaction to ricotta😭

Damiano: "Yeah! Fuck you! RESPECT ITALIAN FOOD!" AHAHAH! Vai, Damiano!

LMAO “sometimes yeah”

the way she says Whaaat
