c
c is the third letter of the English alphabet in Italian.
The letter c is used in Italian to represent the same character found in the English alphabet, such as in programming languages like C# or in scientific notations involving temperature like °C.
Did you know?
- To make the c sound like 'k' when it is followed by 'e' or 'i', Italians add a silent h in between. For example, chi is pronounced 'kee' rather than 'chee'.
- The Italian name for the letter, ci, is actually a homophone for the word 'ci', which means 'there' or 'to' in certain grammatical contexts.
- In some Italian musical notations, the symbol that looks like a ‘c’ is not the letter, but a sign for 'common time'.
