I've got the right film haven't I? This is where the Greek's can't say the T in 'bunt cake?' Unless I've completely missed the joke, I don't understand how they can't pronounce T's in except for in Toula. Explanation?

as the capital initial, they could say it. but maybe at the end of a word, they didn't always pronounce it. a bit of a silly theory but it's the best i can think of

We pronounce letters sharply, usually. It's not that they couldn't say it. They didn't know the word (we call it "cake", and the actual cake "tourta"). . Plus, at the end of that word it wasn't very "audiable"! That's why she says later "is a cake, mori".

In greek, no consonant can end a word, except for S. Maybe that's what the case here is. Though it's exaggerated for effect, as the characters do live in USA of most of their lives, 80% of Greeks speak english and are accustomed to different pronounciations, and we do have foreign words adapted in our every day vocabulary, mainly words that are foreign inventions. But for the sake of the movie, she couldn't say T at the end :p
shareI'm a Greek/ Canadian (as is the actress who played Nia) most Greek immigrants probably would had said "Baant Kay k" which the "A" letter being stretched. They don't have the "U" sound like we do in the English Language
