How do you pronounce this word?
My mom and I are having a debate.
I think its more like ca-BA-ta, but somehow that doesn't seem right.
It's actually a type of roll. Stone Baked Artisan Bread. Square, a little on the hard side, something you would eat with a meal rather than by itself.

Chee-ya-ba-ta. Ci in Italian makes a "ch" sound. Like, "Ciao, See you Wednesday!" :)
Thank You! And I'll see you Wednesday! :D
lol, i have no idea. shannon is right, i think. you need to update more, my dear!! i love you.
I say it sha-BA-ta. It's good :-)
*shrugs shoulders*
*feels that input in discussion would be next to worthless*
...considering i misspronounce words I can actually recognize...
lol

It's hard to give pronunciation for sounds we don't exactly have in English :-) The way I've heard it is as Shannon said, with two exceptions:
• The first three letters form a diphthong, meaning that they're said together (almost as one vowel), not two syllables
• Emphasis is placed on the BA syllable which also is longer — you rush through the other syllables, especially the first, but you have more of a BAAAA on the second.
On the other hand, Oxford says that you're supposed to have emphasis on the first syllable.
Hopefully this comment wasn't too long and boring :-)
Correction: Oxford wants second-syllable emphasis.
Repeat comment about longwindedness :-)
Hey Girl, Don't ask me...I would of pronounced it the way sarah does!
Love Ya
