uova means egg in Italian

How do you say egg in Italian?

Uova!

When I lived in Italy I could not find uove bianche, white eggs.  The only color available was brown! Now that I'm back in the US, the brown uova is the only kind of egg I buy!

Non rompere l'uova.
Don't break the egg.

Extra credit, make pronunciation fun:

Uova starts out sounding just like "woah"
The first half of the word gets the emphasis and sounds like "WOAH"
The second half of the word sounds like "vuh" to rhyme with  "uh huh"
WOAH-vuh
