Capitalized accented vowels mark stress for learning; they are not normal spelling. Regional pronunciations vary. For homographs, choose a meaning to view its annotation. Device speech may choose a different pronunciation and cannot reliably enforce your selected sense.

Connect the spelling to the sound.

casa · cosa · cuore / cena · cinema / che · chi

C before a, o, u has a /k/ sound. Before e or i it is /tʃ/, as in English “church”. H keeps the /k/ sound before e and i: che, chi.

Chi cerca un caffè?
