Common Mispronunciations of Antonio
Not AN-toh-nee-oh
TOH is the one loud beat of four, and the opening an is a light tap. A heavy front sounds like a reading from a list rather than a name.
Not an-TOH-nyoh
The io at the end holds two beats, nee and oh. Squeezing them into a single nyoh is the Italian habit, but English spreads them out.
