TIL that spaghetto is the singular version of spaghetti. Gnoccho is for gnocchi, fettuccino is for fettuccini, and raviolo is for ravioli. Also the e at the end of calzone isn’t silent.

I have to correct you: the singular version of gnocchi is gnocco, without the h. And fettuccino/i are both wrong in Italian, we say fettuccina for singular and fettuccine for plural.
🤌🏼
It’s almost as if Italian is it’s own language with it’s own rules 🙄
Similarly, a male ballet dancer is called a ‘ballerino’ in Italian.
Panini is plural. You should technically order a Panino at restaurants.
Biscotti and biscotto
In what world would there ever be a need to use the singular for spaghetti.
Nah, “spaghetto” is when I don’t have sauce so I make spaghetti with ketchup.
Linguino, Rotino, fusillo
maybe tortellono ?

Edit : Following the ‘rule’ from the article.
> A quick crash course in Italian language: An i on the end of a word indicates that it’s plural, while an o or an a indicates that it’s singular. So, gnocco, is the singular for gnocchi, fettucino is the singular for fettucini, and raviolo is the singular for ravioli.
I don’t care how it’s pronounced as long as I can have a calzone with the sauce inside the way it’s meant to be. None of this “dipping” BS. And stay off my lawn!

Calzones are pointless. They’re just pizzas that are harder to eat
Mama Mia!
It’sa us, Marii.
*in the italian language
I ain’t pronuncifyin’ no e on my calzón.
A big mistake people commonly make is saying panini. That means sandwiches. The proper word is panino for one sandwich
Finocchio
So when I eat spaghettiOs I’m basically full Italian?
Calzon-eh
Ths singular of [SpaghettioOs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaghettiOs), however is SpaghettioO
So is one Luigi is a Luigo?
