Italian For Beginners

I have this theory about the relationship between English, Spanish, and Italian. Choose a one syllable English word. Chances are that in Spanish, it will have two syllables. But in Italian, it will have three. Mind boggling.

For example/Por ejemplo/Per essempio:
Tree
Arbol (ar/bol)
Arbole (ar/bo/le)

Car
Auto (au/to)
Macchina (ma/cchi/na)

Love
Amor (a/mor)
Amore (a/mo/re)

Okay in the middle of thinking of these words I thought of a bunch of words that don't work. So I guess my theory isn't sound. But it's still fun to think about. I had you going there for a second, didn't I?
