How do you pronounce Nutella?

[Kathleen in VA]

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

[Mrs Mungo]

I say "nuh-telluh." So...I guess I am no help.

[nukeswife]

I agree with her friends that it's Nuh-tell-uh. In all the commercials I've seen for it that's how it's pronounced.

[Caitilin]

I say "nuh-telluh." So...I guess I am no help.

 

Yes, this is how we say it here too.:D

There was a Australian commercial using that pronunciation. Perhaps your years in Hawaii (which, as we all know, is very close to Australia) have influenced your speech.:D

Maybe I'm not hearing it correctly, but in this commercial it sounds like NEW-tella to me.

 

 

[OrganicAnn]

I pronounce it New Tell ah. But I think my DH pronounces Nut Ella. But he's a bit of a nut.

[UmMusa]

Newtella

[Kathleen in VA]

Well, there doesn't appear to be a consensus, I think I will tell Dd to pronounce it any way she likes. It tastes just as good either way.:)

But I learned about Nutella when we lived in Germany (lo, many moons ago). Have you found a German commercial? :D

Thank you!! It never occurred to me to just ask the folks who make it.:tongue_smilie:

[ereks mom]

I say "nuh-tella", but on the commercial I've seen, the woman says "new-tella".

They are clearly confused. It is pronounced "nuh-tell-uh". Rhymes with duh.:D

[Veritaserum]

nut-ella

[Matryoshka]

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. Never like in nut. That's how they pronounce it in Germany too (where I first ate it). :)

 

Here, listen to the video here.

[elinnea]

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]

Hint of cocoa, my eye! I always hate that on the commercials. Oh well, their shady advertising won't keep me from it. :lol:

 

And it is most definitely New-tell-uh. Because I said so.:tongue_smilie:

[Maus]

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. There's a jar in my kitchen right now, and I wasn't going to have a bedtime snack.

[ChristusG]

I say "nuh-telluh." So...I guess I am no help.

 

This is how we say it. My sister says it with "new" at the beginning and it drives me nuts.

[sweetbasil]

First had it in Sweden, then Greece -- always called New-tella by everyone.

[sahm99]

...no "new" and absolutely no "nut"...sure...:)

 

(I am German, grew up in Italy...and was brought up with the stuff:D)

[Medstudent]

noo-TELL-ah. It's the Italian pronunciation and it's an Italian product (made by Ferrero).

[Spy Car]

Her friends are dopes, and she is correct :D

[awisha.]

Everyone I know calls it Nuh-tella.

[regentrude]

nm

[Laura Corin]

Nut-Ella. That's all I've heard in the UK. It has nuts in it.

 

Laura

[LucyStoner]

Some alternate pronunciations:

 

-sin on a spoon

 

-proof that good exists in the world

 

-dangerous (to dieters)

 

-yum

[Melissa in Australia]

Are you criticising the way us Aussies speak? We are the ones with the correct pronunciation. :D

[thescrappyhomeschooler]

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.

[TravelingChris]

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. THat was in 2006. About two years later, they went back to hazelnuts and everything was good.

[Lolly]

...but...it is made from nUts. It must be nUt ella. :glare: The pronunciation must be changed by what country it is in. This wrong shoud be righted.:001_huh:

[justamouse]

I say it the way Mrs. Mungo does. And I've never heard new tella.

[Quiver0f10]

I say "nuh-telluh." So...I guess I am no help.

 

This is how I say it too.

[TexasRachel]

:iagree:with Mrs. Mungo. I learned it nuh-tella in Germany.

[mcconnellboys]

Me, too....

[Mrs Mungo]

It's New-TELL-ah.

 

It's not a product from an English speaking country; it's from Italy.

noo-TELL-ah. It's the Italian pronunciation and it's an Italian product (made by Ferrero).

 

What does the name mean then? Because neither the Italian nor the German word for nuts has a t in it. If you are going to name your product with a bastardized English word, then you can expect native English speakers to pronounce it in a similar manner to the original word.

 

...no "new" and absolutely no "nut"...sure...:)

 

(I am German, grew up in Italy...and was brought up with the stuff:D)

 

How *do* you say it then? ;) :bigear:

[JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst]

Nuh-tell-uh.

 

Of course I'd eat it bravely no matter how you pronounced it if you offered. :D

[BarbecueMom]

If I'm talking about it, it's nuh-tella.

 

If I'm singing, "Just a spoon full of Nutella helps the stress level go down..." it is new-tella.

 

So both?

[JeneralMom]

I never heard it pronounced "new-tella" until I moved to Texas. We always said "nuh-tella" in Quebec.

 

EDIT: okay, I looked it up on Wikipedia and here is what it says (in Italian it is "new-tella, and English it is "nuh-tella" Yeah, Everyone is right, now everyone go eat some - I'm allergic to cocoa so someone eat my portion too.

 

"Nutella (Italian pronunciation: [nuˈtɛlla]; English: /nʌˈtɛlə/ or /nuˈtɛlə/) is the brand name of a chocolate and hazelnut spread

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.

[Runningmom80]

I pronounce it "get-in-muh-bellay."

 

 

new-tella

[Heather in Neverland]

Newtella

 

:iagree:

[Princess Peach]

 

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 figure that's the way the company pronounces it in America, even.

 

Me, I call it overpriced waste-of-calories, but I know that view is not popular around here. :leaving:

[frankcassiesmom]

I've never heard anyone call it NEW tell ah. I guess I automatically assumed that since hazelNUT is a NUT it would be NUT ellah.

That's so funny--I've seen that commercial a lot, and I've always thought she said nutella, with a short u!

 

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?

It's a part of a healthy breakfast, when eaten with a bowl of oatmeal, an egg white omelet with spinach and salmon roe, a head of broccoli, an orange, and 3/4 c. of milk, of course. Just like Super Choco Marshmallow Cookie Pops are.

:lol::lol::lol:

[eloquacious]

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).

[Word Nerd]

I pronounce it "get-in-muh-bellay."

 

:iagree:

 

The first time I was introduced to the delightful yumminess that is Nutella was in Australia, and my friends all pronounced it Nuh-tella. I avoided even trying it at first, since it looked suspiciously like another dark spread that is popular in Oz but that I never acquired a taste for... :tongue_smilie:
