Hello there!
 You clearly know your Bolognese facts—and I love that confidence! Now let’s make sure you’re saying it like a true language pro.

Correct Pronunciation of “Bolognese”

In standard English, the most common pronunciation is:

/ˌbɒ.ləˈneɪz/
It sounds like: "boh-luh-NAYZ"

So just think:
 “boh” + “luh” + “NAYZ”

Why It Sounds That Way

Even though it’s spelled with “-ese” at the end, in English it’s usually pronounced like "NAYZ"—similar to how we say “mayonnaise.”

 Thank you, and feel free to message if you have any questions!
