It should be confetto, but confetti is a group noun in English, so instead it's just still confetti. You threw 1 confetti. Just like you saw 1 deer in the herd of 300 deer.

Confetti traces back to the Latin conficere (to put together), then the Latin confectum (something prepared).

This later became the Italian confetti (sweets), which has the singular confetto, and was small candy traditionally thrown during carnivals in Italy. This custom was then adopted in England for weddings and other occasions, with symbolic tossing of paper.

it'd be confettus. If we can assume it is latin and plural.

edit: also, i forgot to make my 200'th post here. I didn't notice until I was at ~210 though.,
so therefore take my 1st post with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in it, since I'm a full member.

There is no singular form of confetti in the English language, strangely enough.

However, in French it's confetti (confettis being the plural) and in Italian it's confetto (plural form = confetti).

Those constants are used for other things. Tau is the better circle constant (better than Pi).

There is. It's 'confetti'.

Confetti is small pieces or streamers of paper, mylar, or metallic material which are usually thrown at parades and celebrations, especially weddings (and game shows, following the end of a milestone or the occasion of a big win).

Confetti is small pieces or streamers of paper

Confetti is small pieces

Confetti is pieces

If you wanted to say it in singular form in English, you'd probably say "confetto," even thought it's Italian.

This thread just has a way of getting off topic..

[timetock]

But this thread was... hang on

off-topic to begin with.

Nope, you'd say a piece of confetti. Confetto does not exist in English, we never adopted it. I already talked about all the etymology several posts back:
