Originally posted by Rain Man People who say forte (meaning strongest ability) as For-tay. The word is pronounced FORT and it is an English word meaning strong ability. For-tay is an Italian word that means "loud".
And, "strong" in French.
ETA: I just looked it up...forte (for-tay) in Italian means loud, hard and strong.
So, basically, it is incorrect to say fort and correct to say for-tay.
