How Do You Spell AMODEO?
Pronunciation: [ˈamə͡ʊdɪˌə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Amodeo" is not intuitive when looking at it in English. In fact, the pronunciation of this Italian surname is quite different from what one might expect. The IPA phonetic transcription for "Amodeo" is /aˈmɔde̞oː/, which consists of four syllables. The stressed syllable is "de̞o", and the "o" sound is elongated. The "a" is pronounced as "ah", and the "e" is pronounced as "eh" - this creates the sound of "ae". "M" and "d" are pronounced separately, and "e̞" indicates a slightly open variant of the "e" vowel.
