Kathleen in VA Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Dd18 said two of her friends corrected her when she pronounced it "New-tell-uh." They said it is "Nut-ell-uh." I found this: How do you pronounce it? She wants to be sure she's right before she sets her friends straight.;) And, no, we haven't got anything better to do right now.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Maybe I'm not hearing it correctly, but in this commercial it sounds like NEW-tella to me. It's New-TELL-ah. It's not a product from an English speaking country; it's from Italy. That's how it's pronounced where it's from and I can't manage to pronounce it in any sort of hacked-up American way. :tongue_smilie: In Italian (original language), U is pronounced "oo". Always.

elinnea Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 In Germany it's pronounced new-tella. Mmm love that stuff but I haven't bought it in the U.S. in years as when it first came out they made it with peanuts instead of hazelnuts. Is that still the case?

meggie Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hint of cocoa, my eye! I always hate that on the commercials.

Maus Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 When I first tasted it in Austria back in 1987, I was told it was "new-tell-uh". It's possible to kind of like that thick, black German rye bread if you slather it with Nutella and slice a banana on it. ;) Dang it.

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well, I first ate it in France 23 years ago, so I say it with the French "u" sound, which I guess would translate more into the New-tell-a camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 PP, we were very disappointed when we first moved back to the US and it was made with peanuts since youngest dd and dh couldn't have that.

JeneralMom Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) I never heard it pronounced "new-tella" until I moved to Texas. We always said "nuh-tella" in Quebec.

Twigs Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I watched 2 commercials at the Nutella website, and I hear Nootella and Nuhtella. I suppose if the company itself cannot make up its mind, either way is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Peach Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 is a US commercial (that drives me nuts- no pun intended- because she insinuates that it's a healthy start to the morning, but I digress...) and she pronounces it new-TELL-a.

I do think nut butter on toast is a healthy start to the day. Is it because there's more sugar in nutella that you think it's unhealthy?

eloquacious Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It all depends on how you phrase the question. How is it pronounced in the U.S.? Or how is it pronounced in Germany/Europe? I grew up in Germany, and it is decidedly not NUT but closer to noo/new (as long as there's no liquid u in there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
