I would tell you to read the thread to realize what you've done, but you probably can't even do proper and basic reading comprehension so there's no point really.

It's not fast when you understand, because the words in Italian are longer than in English (so more syllables are said quickly, to deliver the concepts at a similar pace).

See how basic one-syllable words are convertef into Italian:

Bird --> uccello
Look --> osservazione
Ear --> orecchio
Floor --> pavimento
Yield --> raccolto
Word --> parola

For sure they're not going to deliver each syllable as slowly as the English, otherwise it would be three times longer to communicate the same ideas.

this, il francese is right. When you don't completely know/speak a language it seems too fast to understand

Do you want to speak like an Italian?

Turn any "-ity" noun in English into Italian using "-ita"
Example: city - citta (stress goes on the last vowel, always)
To make it French, it's "-ite", not "-ita"
Example: city - cite (stress on the last vowel)

Nouns that end in "-y", usually have an intuitive ending in Italian: "-io" or "ia", if feminine
Example: "Anomaly" - "Anomalia", "Story" - "Storia", "Ordinary" - "Ordinario", "Vocabulary" - "Vocabulario"

Consonant ending English nouns acquire a suffixed vowel at their end, to make them sound Italian. Example: "Animal" - "Animale", "Dual" - "Duale", "Patent" - "Patente", "Trivial" - "Triviale"

"-tion" nouns are "-zione", in Italian. In French, they remain the same.
Example: "Acclamation" - "Acclamazione", French: "Acclamation"
"Desperation" - "Disperazione", "Prescription" - "Prescripzione"


Turn English verbs into Italian ones by adding "-are"/"-ere"/"-ire" as a suffix:
"To recover" - "Recover-are" - "Ricoverare", et cetera
The three endings written above are usually "ear-friendly". You will know if you've appended the wrong suffix:

Want to turn a verb into a noun? Add the definite article onto it. For example the masculine form:
"Il", "bere" - "to drink", - "il bere" - "drinking"

Learn "fare" and "essere" by heart. You are now speaking Italian

Historically speaking, it's the contrary - English speakers elongate the vowels to compensate lost/eroded syllables and help to keep words distinct. The same phenomenon happens on other mainly monosyllabic languages like French and Mandarin.

>For all of the other languages, the researchers discovered, the more data-dense the average syllable was, the fewer of those syllables had to be spoken per second — and thus the slower the speech. English, with a high information density of .91, was spoken at an average rate of 6.19 syllables per second. Mandarin, which topped the density list at .94, was the spoken slowpoke at 5.18 syllables per second. Spanish, with a low-density .63, ripped along at a syllable-per-second velocity of 7.82.

>The true speed demon of the group, however, was Japanese, which edged past Spanish at 7.84, thanks to its low density of .49. Despite those differences, at the end of, say, a minute of speech, all of the languages would have conveyed more or less identical amounts of information.
