There's no plural form of "ravioli" in English Anonymous Sat Jun 18 09:28:44 2022 No.17998084 [Reply] [Original]

Which means you can't cook ravioli for shit.
>hey, dude, hand me over the ravioli!
ONE ravioli or MANY raviolies?!

>are you hungry, mom? I just finished cooking ravioli
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN EATING A SINGLE PIECE OF PASTA, YOU RETARD SON!

>hello, good sir! I'd like to buy a package of ravioli
I'm terribly sorry, but we are not allowed to sell more than 1 ravioli at a time. Otherwise we wouldn't know just how many we sold. You see, we unfortunately have no plural form of the word.

While "ravioli" in English (and a few other languages) is an uncountable noun which can refer to a single piece of the pasta or a dish composed of multiple pieces of the pasta, the word "raviolis" is considered acceptable to use when a specific distinction needs to be made for multiple pieces of the pasta.
Note, this is English, not Italian. It is very commonplace in English to treat and conjugate foreign loanwords as if they're native English words. The English language doesn't care if you get pissy and confused over this and cry while shitting yourself complaining that "raviolis" isn't a word in your opinion. This is English.

If you only want one piece of ravioli, you would specify that you want "a single piece of ravioli." If you don't do this, and just ask for "ravioli," you're asking for the dish, which consists of a serving size of multiple pieces of pasta, or in your case, the two that are left.
This is all fantasy anyway, since it's no live person would ever interact with you to begin with, being such an unlikable cunt.

Anonymous Sat Jun 18 09:59:13 2022 No.17998189

>>17998171
if you have 1 ravioli it is both a ravioli and the ravioli

>>17998141
>this is English, our language makes no sense
at least you admit that you can't cook with such a language

>>17998175
nobody says
>please hand me a single piece of apple
just "gimme an apple"

You are treating Italian food discriminatively just because your language is retarded. If you can not give the proper respect to ravioli it deserves, you shouldn't even be making it in the first place.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 18 10:02:10 2022 No.17998201 >>17998084 English has many words like this, like 'deer', 'moose', 'shrimp', and 'sheep'.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 18 10:03:34 2022 No.17998206 >>17998189 We're not dealing with singular food items like apples. We're dealing with a dish that consists of multiple pieces of pasta. Try harder because it's obvious even you don't believe this.

>>17998201
deer, sheep, and moose is no problem. Very very rarely would you be working with a whole sheep, let alone more sheep, so the language problem doesn't arise.

as for shrimp, everybody says "I have 3 shrimps"

Only potentiali. Pic very related, a raviolo

>>17998215
I don't see how that's an issue, because in pic related's case you would have already said that it was raviolo specifically because that's the closest thing you have to an interesting topic of discussion, so there would never be any confusion.

You have to admit that when growing up in a city with a pizza joint on every block or less that some of them will utterly suck, with that many around and:
1. avoid tourist shitholes
2. avoid place with italian drama see #1
3. if it looks like a mom & pop place then ok
4. can they do the fried calamari? If so then ok
