November 29th, 2007 at 3:29 pmI can hear the “h” when Jane pronounces “ho” and “hai”. My text books say that “h” is not pronunced in Italian and is only a spelling convention. I don’t hear it on other Italian recordings. Is this Jane’s Italian dialect?
LearnItalianPod.com Says:
November 30th, 2007 at 12:05 amAs a general rule, the “h” in Italian is silent. Still, sometimes you may hear it – especially in the everyday use of the language, particularly from north-eastern Italians, when the language is spoken at a very slow speed, like in this episode.
That is not really considered dialect, but a characteristic of the spoken language.

In English, do you say, I am 38 or I have 38 yrs? Is because ho in Italian is to have.. or no?
