| Feb 29, 2020 at 12:50 | comment | added | DaG | @Gio: It would be interesting to ascertain, numerically, whether in a majority of cases you pronounce the i, or you don't. Just think of such common words as alloggiare, appoggiare, arrangiare, artigiano, assaggiare, atteggiamento... (and those are only examples beginning by a). Than again, in your favour, there are at least all the words in -logia. | |

| Feb 29, 2020 at 12:40 | comment | added | user519 | On first thought, I think you always pronounce the “i” in the cluster “gia” unless there are a few exceptions. parolecon.it/search.php?f=gia | |
