Parma or Parmi? NOW WITH POLL!

[ripitup27]

In what has become a long winded debate throughout my uni years, I would like to ask everyone here what they call the humble chicken parmigiana.

I'm a parma man, always have been always will be. Screw all of you who say parmi!

You answer your question right there.

 

[JSFish]

You don't actually pronounce it parmi-giana though. It's parma.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Parma all the way for the VIC, Parmi just about everywhere else though I think. See 1000+ other threads in subject lol!

Pronouncing it Pa-ma-ja-na is not correct. It's Pa-mi-ja-na.

 

[Lazix]

Parmi is more bogan. Not that parma isn't.

 

[stimpy]

It's PARMA and you adelaidians are WRONG!!!!!

 

[Niximus]

On the contrary I would say Parma is more bogan. As the word is Parmigiana and supposed to be pronounced Parmijana then Parma is lazy speak.

I bet someone from Adelaide wrote that.

The whole concept of chicken pamijana is bogan so your point is irrelevant.

You take that back!

 

[stimpy]

You take that back!

I most certainly will not but I will reiterate that its pronounced PARMA!!!!

Saying Parma is un Australian

When Australians shorten (or lengthen) names we always put an ee or y or i sound on the end.

Examples: Boony, Juddy, barbie, footy,

Instead of Boona, Judda, Barba, foota.

I reiterate, saying Parma is un Australian.

 

[Crumpler83]

"Parmi" is a bit too limp wristed sounding if you ask me, or sounds like something a little kid would say.

"Parma" all the way....

[Macca19]

Papa G speaks truth.

[ripitup27]

good on yA

I'm GUNNA agree with you on that one.

 

[krow]

Parmi for sure

WTF is a Parma... ghey as... Sounds like palma... and that just sounds suss

 

[BomberGal]

Parma ftw.

Funny that you South Australians wanna stick the "ah" sound into everything but not 'parma'?

Pronouncing it Pa-ma-ja-na is not correct. It's Pa-mi-ja-na.

The correct Italian does not emphasise the 'mi' and saying 'parmi-ja-na' would be incorrect.

That's incorrect. When confronted with an ee / ey / y sound (or any vowel really), Australians tend to eliminate it and allocate a different vowel.

For example, Alan Toovey is Tooves (although that is not a vowel, but an elimination).

Is Andrew Mackie, "Mackeeeee mate, what's hangin'?", or is it Macca? It obviously has to be the latter, otherwise you lose the typical Australian folkiness.

Barreeeee Hall is converted to Bazza.

Similarly, the parmiiiii needs to be Australianised to parma.

Therefore, calling it a "parmy" is un-Australian.



Edit: You beat me to it BG!

Is that why Victorians pronounce their own capital city as Malbun?

Well done on refuting all the evidence! Weak.

Also, what kind of ****ed up Victorians are you listening to? Or are you just buying into the stereotype? There is definitely no "mal" as would be pronounced in the name Malcolm.
