Tbf, these spellings make more sense than the actual spelling. How tf is Lasagna pronounced lasanya? Fuck you romance languages.
Bold of an English speaker to accuse any other language of unpredictable spelling…
Funnily, Italian is almost completely phonemic, meaning it’s trivial to both spell and read words if you know the rules. English can only dream of that.
As an Italian, it took me a while to understand things like spelling competitions in American movies…
As a Hungarian, me too. We spell everything exactly as we write it.
Edit: the reply is right, of course we pronounce everything as we write it.
But do you pronounce everything as you speak it? /s
Right. ‘Lasagna’ in particular is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced in Italian.

Ask the English speakers who imported words like lasagna and baguette without changing the spelling to lasanya or baget.
Worst of all, sometimes they change the spelling but only to remove the diacritics that tell you how it’s supposed to be pronounced
