How should i pronounce Cognoscenti?

[PunchOut]

i just purchased one and i dont wanna sound like a retard when people ask me what kind of cue it is

 

[sjm]

Well, the word is actually Italian, and in Italian, it's pronounced con-yuh-shen-tee, but the Americanized pronunciation, and the only pronunication I've ever heard when the cues are being discussed is cog-nuh-sen-ti.

 

[TheBook]

I have heard it pronounced as just "Cog".

 

[PoolBum]

I've always pronounced it "nice cue".

 

[houmatroy]

Just plain old Cog & anybody that knows even a little about cues will know & for the ones that don't just tell them you got 1 of the best cues made.

The easiest way that I have heard it pronounced is Joe Gold.

Congratulations on your new cue purchase, I don't think you will be disappointed.

In case you didn't know already, Cognoscenti translated means "for those who are in the know". If you know Joey, you would get a kick out of this. lol
