  1. in the whole Italy we pronounce it "pess-to".

    E in Italy is pronounced like your A, the final O (which isn't very common in english) is pronounced like the O of the word "Off".


  2. you say it pess-to that is how I have heard everyone say it.

    Even my italian grandma

  3. i've find a video where an italian grandma show how to do pesto at home... she pronunce Pesto 2 times at 10th  and 11th second of the video...

  4. E is pronounced like A, in Italian.

  5. I say pay-sto.

    For that matter, is it la-bia or lay-bia ?

  6. The e sounds like a, so it would be more like paystow

  7. The E in Italian is pronounced like a long A in English, so like "make" not like "dad."

    You pronounce the pasta sauce made with basil, garlic and pine nuts: "Pay-stow"

  8. more like pess-to, trust me, I'm italian! :-)

  9. Neither, it is pronounced: "pess tow"

  10. Are you trying to say pess-to. As in pesto sauce.

  11. Pess-To.

    If you say paysto, people will look at you funny.

    Have fun with Italian!

  12. Lesson from an Italian

  13. pess-to

  14. say pesto same in italian

  15. I'm Italian and we say pess-to. But it may depend on what region you are from.
