How to Pronounce my Bettas' Names

I never thought of this before but maybe you'd like me to tell you how to pronounce my fish names! :-) Look below!

   Amore:
Amore is prounounced: Am as in Cam. Ore as in an orio cookie like this: "A-mor-a" long A sound. Just say the letter A at the end.

 
D'Amour:
Turn to your friend and say "Da!" now say "more" yep you got it. It isn't Dee-amour. its DA as in saying "Da that's what its suposed to say" and mour as in "Give me some MORE" Easy as that.

 
Vino:
I don't think this one is a very hard one for you. It would be pronounced with an E sound, not I. So Veeno.

 
Sera:
Say Seer with an a, you have Sera.

 
Brochetta:
This is pounounced with a LONG O sound. And the rest as in "Chetter Cheese" Just - the "ER" and add "A". And you have Brochetta. Its rather like saying Broach with a Chetta on the end!

D'Amore:
D'Amore is just like Amore and D'Amour. Just say D'Amour with a long a sound at the end DU-MORA get it?

T'Amour:
First say T than say Amor. This one is actually pronounced T-Amour. The T is independent of the rest of the word (well, the sound that is.) Its pronounced kind of like how it is spelled. Is that more clear? Now Darren I don't think we need to go over-rite?LOL

D'C'eili:
First say DE now say CHELY you have Dechely! It's that simple. Just say Jelly with a CH on it and minus the J. I know I know the spelling is down right horrifieing! I hope its a bit easier now!

Cantare:
Say can't now say are and pronounce the e at the end like a long a. Simple enough, ehe? Now you have Cantare!

 
Crocetti:
Crocetti is Prounoucned: Cro as in a bird Crow and cetti as in chetter cheese Chetti. Like this: "Crow-chety" easier now?

 
D'Argento:
D'Argento is simalar to D'Amour. The A is pronounced with the D as DAR not Dee-argento. Its prounouced like are with a D. DARE the e is for estetic reasons only. Now the g is a soft g, as in gourge. GENTO. Now can you say D'ARGETNO?

 
Devi:
The first part is as it looks Dev, but the I is, as with Vino, prounounced with an EE sound, not a long I sound.

 
Surriso:
Say Sir, now add ee then add so. Now say it all together Sireeso, long E not I.

 
Ver-Mea:
Just Pronounce the Ver like it's spelled. The Mea is more like May than actually Mea. Now pronounce it all at ounce....Voala....Ver Mea!

Amor:
This one's pretty much a "no-brainer", it's pronounced just like it looks! Just say Amore without long a sound, or A (as in apple) and "give me some more" just don't say the e.

Mattinatta:
This name is pronouced with more of an short O sound than a short A sound so its kind of like this: Mott Rite? Ok now for the I, the I is more like a long e rather than an I so like this:Motte got that part? now for the natta-this is a short O sound to. So if you were to sound it out it would look like this: Mottenotto. Is that easier now?

CiGi:
CiGi is confusing but it's actually quite easy to pronouce. Just say Chee Gee! There you have it Chee Gee.

Volar:
Volar is pronounced just the way it looks. Vo-lar...lard without the d!LOL
