Question: what is j in italian?
Answer: In Italian "j" is pronounced like a semi consonant "i" when it occurs between vowels or at the beginning of a word (e.g. "Ajaccio", "Jacopo"); otherwise it is pronounced like an "i" when it occurs at the end of a word, typically as the plural of some words ending in "-io" ("varj", plural of "vario") (1, 2).
