| Itaalia keeles | Sõna-sõnalt | Mida see tähendab |
|---|---|---|
| Casa | house, home | one short S |
| Cassa | checkout, till | double S: hold it a beat longer |
| Scusi, dov'è la cassa? | excuse me, where is the till? | where do I pay? |
| Prima la cassa, poi a casa | first the till, then home |
A double consonant is not said twice, it is held longer. Say cas-sa with a tiny pause on the S, and keep the A before it short.
