The singular Zitta! and the plural Zitte! in the feminine and the singular Zitto! and the plural Zitti! in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "Shut up!" Context makes clear whether it is a question of one (cases 1, 3) or more (examples 2, 4) of a female (instance 1, 2), male (options 3, 4) or mixed female and male (sample 4) audience.

The respective pronunciations will be "TSEET-ta" or "TSEET-tey" in the feminine and "TSEET-to" or "TSEET-tee" in the masculine in Italian.
