🗣 Canadian English: pasta (how many Canadians say it)
🧣 Same noodles, different vowel. Many Canadians say pasta with the "a" of cat or pass, the same way British English does. Most Americans say it with a longer "ah": PAH-stuh.
🔊 Say it: PASS-tuh (the first part sounds like "pass")
🔜 "It's minus ten outside, so tonight it's pasta and the hockey game."
🌎 Same word, different English:
🇨🇦 PASS-tuh (often) 🇺🇸 PAH-stuh 🇬🇧 PASS-tuh
💡 Careful: This isn't one rule for everybody. Plenty of Canadians, including many in British Columbia, say PAH-stuh too. Both are correct, and everyone will understand you either way.
