That's basically what I wrote other than the O and U in Man, It sounds more like Mun when speaking Italian. There is no -nee either. There's more of an emphasis on the Pa in "pawn", but you also linger a bit on the N sound instead of a straight pan sound. There is no e at the end.

I speak a bit of Italian and I got the exact pronunciation from my father, for which Italian is his first language.

In English, it means eat bread.
