The feminine/masculine informatore formally and the feminine maialetta and maialina and the masculine maialetto and maialino informally are Italian equivalents of the English word "squealer." The first-mentioned example references a squealing "informant" whereas the remaining four-mentioned examples show the speaker's disdain by equating information-giver with a "little pig." The respective pronunciation will be "een-FOR-ma-TO-rey" formally, "MA-ya-LET-ta" and "MA-ya-LEE-na" in the informal feminine and "MA-ya-LET-to" and MA-ya-LEE-no" in the informal masculine in Italian.
