00:00I actually wasn't expecting you guys to be so interested in the similarities between Sardinian and English,
00:06but I have another one for you today, specifically pronunciation.
00:11So an infamously difficult sound for Italians in English is the th, you know, the th in three or in
00:18theater.
00:18But did you know that it actually exists in Sardinian as well, but not in all of the dialects?
00:24I know it exists in Fonni, but I'm curious whether it exists in any other towns around that area.
00:31So in Fonni, to say meat, they would say pezza instead of maybe pezza in the majority of Sardinia.
00:38And for he and she, they say itzu and itza.
00:41You know, for sugar, they say zuaru.
00:43So they have it too. It's not just an English phenomenon.
00:47Hey guys, today I just wanted to talk about some similarities between Sardinian and English.
00:52So you guys know the present continuous, right?
00:56So you have be plus a verb in the ing form.
00:59For example, I am doing, or you are doing, or he is doing, etc, etc.
01:06Well, if you speak Sardinian, it's actually pretty similar, right?
01:10You use the same verb, so the verb to be, a city, and then a verb with endi instead of
01:16ing.
01:17I am doing would be zeufaendi.
01:20So actually, not too different.
