Why can't it be thin spaghetti, flat spaghetti, hollow spaghetti, etc? https://pastaartist.com/pasta-in-translation/ Spaghetti: spaghetti is formed by adding the endearing suffix etto (lovely, cute) to the noun spago (string), which literally translates as cute strings. Fusilli: this name has been formed by adding to the noun fuso (spindle), the endearing suffix ello (small and cute). Therefore, youre eating small and cute spindles! Farfalle: no compound names, this time. Farfalle is Italian for butterflies. Rigatoni: rigatoni is another compound name (the hell on earth to all of you who are trying to learn Italian!), formed by the verb rigato (striped) with the augmentative suffix one, which translates as big striped ones! Orecchiette: the lovely pasta from Puglie is translated as cute ears (orecchie+ endearing suffix ette) etc, etc.... --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
