I know to pronounce the italian gnocchi as ñoki (like it was also mentioned above) but believe it or not, people here pronounce it with like “guh-notchi” same in “guh-nat” It’s just some Slavic languages (I cant speak for all) pronounce every letter in words, so there is this tendency.
PS: thanks for reminding me, the “g” in gnat is silent xD
My mother tongue very rarely completely mutes the sound of letters. More often, they are just deadened. So I can’t help but pronounce a little bit of G at the beginning of those words.
How do you pronounce gnocci, gnat, etc? They may start with a ‘g’ but the proper pronunciation is just /n/.
