I worked in a restaurant that had a lot of jalapeneos and still often pronounce it with an anglo J, just because you have to pronounce every ingredient in as fun a way as possible when you say it 800 times a week.
When I try to do it right, it's "hal-ah-peen-oh" but I've also heard people say "hal-ah-pen-oh," which one is correct?
In the Spanish alphabet, ñ is a different letter from n. ñ is called enye. The letter makes the n-sound and the y-sound.
the correct pronunciation is ( ha la peen yo ) or ( ha la payn yo )
A lot of people miss the y-sound, some people use the j-sound instead of h.
I definitely miss the y-sound. I've heard it like that many times but my Anglo "brain" put it before the last n instead of after. Thanks for humouring me <3
