7 in Italian = sette

The number 7 in Italian is "sette" pronounced "SEH-teh" with doubled "t" and stress on first syllable.

Quick Answer

Pronunciation

Sette has two syllables: set-te

Step by step:

1. "Set" - Say "SEH" (like "set" without final "t")
2. Hold the "t" position longer (doubled)
3. "te" - Say "teh"
4. Stress on first syllable: SEH-teh

The double "tt":

• Hold the "t" longer
• Creates a slight pause

• Both "e"s should be pure "eh" sound
