Grazie means thank you and Grazia means grace. -- nm - Krusty Oct 11, 07:43 4
- This may explain it. I've only heard Grazie in Milan, but on the train from Pisa to Milan, there was a lot of Grazia. - ty97 Oct 11, 07:51 3
  - isn't it just a regional accent? -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 07:55 2
    - There was a distinct -uh or -ah sound at the end. I wouldn't expect that on Grazie, regardless of accent - ty97 Oct 11, 08:01 1
      - I don't see why they might not be pronouncing the "e" on the end. - loosilu Oct 11, 08:05
