Quick Italian Lesson - Part 2

OK, so my husband beat me to the punch with an idea for my first blog post, but really, people always ask,  so for those who would like to know how to pronounce my last name, here goes!

The trick is, in Italian, all the vowels are pronounced, so Contabile (which means "accountant" or some similar variation) is pronounced:

cone  taah  BEE  lay (with the stress on the third syllable)

Living on purpose,

Welcome to AR! I partially grew up not too far from the Itallian neighborhood here in St. Louis ("On Da Hill") and I was always amazed at some of my buddy's names.  They sounded so cool!
