Thatmom Posted March 23, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi, I'm not sure how I can make this a cruise question. Lets say your going to order at dinner. How would you say penne.... noodles do you say it pen-na or do you say pen-nee... I have been corrected know matter which way I say. I thought and please correct me if I'm wrong......pen-nee.. I know this doesn't sound like that big of deal but it really bugs me not to know...... Thanks, Carla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdcml Posted March 24, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2006 pen-nay... but go with lobster tail or steak, that should be easy enough to pronounce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdood Posted March 24, 2006 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2006 One more thing is anybody else having trouble getting this site to open? It is so slow and sometimes just won't let me in.Carla Yes, we all are, from extremely high volume of traffic, a lot of which is due to people not going to www.webster.com for pronuciation, www.carnival.com to find out how many formal nights, www.fashion.com to find out what shoes would go with a long black skirt and sequin top, www.digitalcam.com to ask what digital camera is best.... well, you get the picture... hopefully this message will even post due to the traffic this site can't handle.

Steamboatin Posted March 24, 2006 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Talk about a waste than what about all of the "Float Away Lounge or whatever" junk on this website. Get ride of that (add your own word here please) and you go a long way to solving the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw4jg1mg2eg1 Posted March 24, 2006 #16 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I am so glad you asked that question...LOL..I've wondered that also.My life never put me in a situation where knowing these kind of things became inportant to me until I discovered cruising on a Carnival ship.Carnival being the "FUN SHIPS" makes it easier to ask these sort of questions. The other lines just sounded like they were for a little more sophistcated group.When is your cruise & what ship are you going to be on? I hope you have a wonderful cruise!! Mr.Dood, I just gotta ask..are you a traffic cop or in air traffic control?:rolleyes: You work so hard at directing the traffic on these boards. Don't get your tail feathers ruffled..I'm just poking fun at ya!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Bug Posted April 4, 2006 #17 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Pen-nay :) Atleast I stayed on topic....I had to poke fun at you because the site would go much faster if you were answering the questions and not giving "how-to-respond" information.:D (I bet he stays up all night reading every post):p June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbuddy Posted April 5, 2006 #18 Share Posted April 5, 2006 (pen-nay) I'm a chef, this is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikini Posted April 6, 2006 #19 Share Posted April 6, 2006 No matter how you say it, pen-nay, pen-nee or just pen, I'm sure the waiter will know exactly what you are referring to. But this reminds me of my Mom - who tends to mispronounce a lot of things. She made someone at our table choke on an ice cube when she ordered a "skrewer" instead of a skewer. Have fun!

sweetpea-2 Posted April 17, 2006 #20 Share Posted April 17, 2006 :confused: well I have always pronounced it Pen-nay however I was watching a cooking show on the cooking channel and she pronounced it Pen-nee...but not to worry as I just got back after a 11 night cruise and I know I might have mispronounced a few words and was never corrected at all....if in doubt especially on french night, just point and say that looks good, I'll try that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Az_Redneck Posted May 27, 2006 #22 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I'm a chef, this is correct. How do you pronounce oregano, herbs and tomatoes...? :D In my culinary classes those words above were definately not pronounced like the norm... More like herr-bs, ore-gaw-no, and toe-maw-toes.. Yes, it's pen-nay btw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofingPrincess Posted May 30, 2006 #23 Share Posted May 30, 2006 works for both Italian and Spanish a is "ah" as in bah e is "ay" (long a sound) as in way i is "ee" as in need o is "oh" as in go u is "oo" as in food if there are no accent marks, natural accent is on the second vowel from the end enjoy your meal!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
