DOES ANYONE KNOW BASIC ITALIAN? I'M GOING OVER 2 ITALY SOON AND I FORT AS I'M GOING OVER THERE I MIGHT ASWELL NO THEIR LANGUAGE!
Music-lover, a lot of people here knows Italian and not only basic.
But, please, stop shouting. Write as everybody else.
So, say : buongiorno, then grazie, then arrivederci.
FOR SOME REASON MY KEYBOARD IS STUCK ON CAPTIAL LOCKS AND I'M TRING TO FIX IT AS WE SPEAK, I'M NOT SHOUTING I'M JUST TYPING AS U LOT WOULD BE
OK THEN, DOES ANYNBODY KNOW SOME USEFUL ITALIAN? :wink:
What do you want to know?
One thing to remember, and this is from experience, is that the word for fig is NOT fica.
If you go to a bar (they sell pastry at bars), ask for a cornetto, not for a cornuto.
Yeah, don't go and ask for a "cornuto con mermelata di figa".
Specifically, fica di fiame does not mean I'm hungry for figs. Also, cazzo is not the male form for cat. Or is it?
preferisco il cornetto con marmellata di albicocche
Hey, Fica does mean fig...sometimes. :wink:
Scopare is a very useful term also.
This person asked for help, and here I am giving him obscene terms. "scopare" = "to f*ck".
Mi dispiace.
That means, "I'm sorry", by the way. There, now I feel like I've helped you a little bit at least.
fico, with an o, is fig. Male.
figa is pussy, and we're not talking 'bout cats.
OK, Francis. Marmelatta, not mermelata.
So chiavare is not using a key (a chiave) to open the door?
Damn, and I tought that nice Italian girl was just asking me to be a gentleman and open her hotel room door. Damn! Damn! Damn!
E' vero, Francis? Chiavare = scopare?
Well, I guess ya learn something new everyday.
Laeknir, it's "figa"? Did you mean to type "fica"?
It's "figa" like "figa calda"...
Kicky, actually an Italian (feminist) girl asked me if I thought "chiavare" meant penetration.
My toughts were strictly etimological. I thought: "the key penetrates the key lock" and replied: "Sure".
"That's while I'll never make love to you, male chauvinist squirrel!".
This was more than 10 years ago, and I still bang my head for my stupidity.
I always thought it was fica. Ever since the day I told my brother-in-law that my husband had gone to buy some and he practically pissed himself laughing.
Stumble It!
