  1. dei - "de-y" (very subtle intonation of the 'y' sound at the end)

    più - "piyu/pyoo"

    giù - "jyoo"


  2. dei is pronounced the same as day in english

    più is pronounced pyu

    giù is pronounced ju

    trust me this is right i know this because i'm italian and know these basic words.

    hope i helped

  3. Dei = like "day" but with with an open sound on the vowels: the "e" sound should be pronounced like in "get".

    giù = joo ("oo" like in "room", but keep the sound very short)

    più = is like a "p" followed by "you": p - you

    In "giù", "i" means "g" have to be spelled "j", so "i" is mute; in "più" "i" is not mute, instead.
