Why do Americans call it "Nootella"?

It's not made from noots. It's made from nuts. NUTella.

>> No.3882515

Pretty sure the origin is Italy and there "nu" is "noo", not "nuh".

Also, who the fuck are you talking about? I'm American and my friends said "nuh-tell-uh" and I told them it's actually "noo" as per it's origin.

It's made in Italy by Ferrero S.p.a. Company since 50 years, and must be pronounced as "nootella"...

Despite the nut connection, OP, the only way nut-ella would make sense is if it were a port manteau, which it isn't. It's just a made up word.

So I think you are crazy or from the northeast. Remember that Italians cannot pronounce anything correctly.

As a west coast resident, I've always wondered why the rest of the country insists on sounding like fucking retards. Between those fuckawful nasal whines from back east to the idiotic southern twang to the fuck knobtastic youbetcha shit from the Midwest, I really have to wonder why you all choose to present yourselves thusly.

From Wikipedia:

American here, never heard anyone pronounce it as you say we do, everyone that I am aware of says "nut"

>> No.3882846

Because in Italy, the country that originated the product, it's pronounced that way and anyone who would tell the creator of a product that the name they themselves chose for it isn't pronounced correctly is an arrogant fool. It's called Nutella, pronounced as "Noo-Tehl-Lah" in America because that's how it is and any other is wrong.

Chicago is the only city with a proper accent. Maybe add Seattle and Portland.

Hickville and New York are the worst

See, I wasn't looking at the map when I made my guess that the poster was from those regions (as wrong as that guess may have been). I'm a linguist by degree and hobby, you see, and though I do not study American regionalisms, with the sort of work I'm in, I regularly interract with people from a large variety of parts of the US. I'm well aware, though of the on/don/dawn distinction/merger, but was unaware that California did this. I don't much interact with Californians. The west coast seems to be far more cloistered than the east and you seldom encounter west coasters along the Northeast Corridor and Megalopolis.
