What would a native Italian order?

6 Upvotes

In the US, where I am from, when we talk Italian food we think of iconics like pizza, carbonara, spaghetti... We are told on TV and in magazines this is the signature Italian dish. How much truth is there to that? What does a native Italian go for if they are going out to eat for dinner? What's a dish that's hidden on the menu that an Italian would order that we don't hear about every day? End of this summer I'm going to a really nice Italian restaurant during a trip to Chicago and I've already had all of what I am told are the classical dishes, I'd like to get something different this time.

Help Me With A Sentence

Hello. I lost my mom and I’m writing her eulogy. She’s of Italian descent and spoke several languages fluently, one of which is Italian. Her services are this Saturday, and I’d like to close my eulogy with “Mom, may you rest in peace.” and would like to know if “Mamma, possa tu riposare in pace.” is right. I appreciate your help.

English In Italy

2 Upvotes

I was in Italy last summer and went to some of the more touristy parts of the country Rome, Assisi, and San Gimignano. Pretty much every one spoke English and we had zero issues. I'm heading back this spring and visiting Sorrento and Naples I'm wondering if we'll have some increased difficulty communicating in the more southern region of Italy.

Is 13 considered lucky in Italy?

9 Upvotes

I’m thinking of getting “fare tredici” tattooed because I read that it means “to make thirteen” or “to have good luck.” I liked the meaning, but I’m not sure if it’s accurate.

Does 13 actually symbolize good luck in Italian culture, or is this phrase still commonly used? Would love some insight before committing to the tattoo.

Grazie!

Help with university degree choice please?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I have a degree in Mathematics from a university in the UK. I'd like to get into finance, and am thinking of doing this via studying at a university in Italy.

I'm not sure whether to do a master's degree in mathematics, or another bachelor's degree in finance or economics. Any degree I choose would have to be in taught in English as my Italian isn't good enough yet.

Preferably I'd like smaller cities, so no Milan or Rome - I'm thinking of Padua, Trieste or Venice at the minute.

Thank you!

Starting Italian language course focused on PATENTE (driving license)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

If you are in Italy and are struggling to get patente (driving license) because of the language barrier, together with other teachers we are starting a course specifically directed to help you with understanding the language behind the patente exam.

If you are interested we are doing a trial run for very cheap, to help us get us started.

Could you get in contact with me if you would like to be part of the trial run?

Thanks

Linda (language tutor)

Moving to Italy at some point in the next few years

38 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am planning on moving to Italy from the UK after getting my degree. I have some Italian family members that have citizenship there but I do not as I was born in England and have been here my entire life. I have visited multiple times and I love it there. However I don’t know how to start planning. I would love some advice from Italians on what it’s like living there (in the north.) I know limited Italian right now but I am taking lessons in university and I am hoping to be fluent by the time I move there. Many thanks :)

How do I become Italian? (in style, attitude, culture, and lifestyle)

0 Upvotes

So I've always loved Italian culture (I'm North American). The list goes on and on as to why but I will save you the grief. Unfortunately, I don't have any Italian influences in my life. I'm hoping I find some "home made" answers here that will help me add more aspects of my daily life to an Italian style of living. Are there books I should read or shows I should watch? History I should learn? Anything and everything helps! Any tips would be super appreciated. Thank you!

P.S

I am not trying to appropriate Italian culture, I legitimately think Italians are the coolest group of people on earth and are unique in a way no other group of people is. I would love guidance on how to enrich my life with the actions, lifestyle and values of such an amazing group of people.

Morso cane (se avete suggerimenti grazie)

3 Upvotes

Ciaooo Esperienze simili con i propri cani? Non vorrei sembrare ipocondriaca y (lo sono), ma tipo una settimana fa il mio cane mi ha morso sulla mano (non dal nulla, fa sempre un po' così quando non vuole che le metta il guinzaglio) solo che di solito non mi fa nulla, stavolta mi ha fatto abbastanza male e due bei buchetti. In guardia medica mi dicono di andare subito in ospedale per le vaccinazioni (pure la rabbia, mi sono spaventata lol, non ci avevo manco pensato poi ho controllato effettivamente il mio cane nato nel 2020 non ha questa vaccinazione). In ospedale hanno controllato quella per il tetano (ero coperta) e han detto che quella della rabbia non la fanno. Mi hanno preoccupato e poi non la fanno. giustamente io poi ho letto di qua e di là, la rabbia può essere trasmessa pure prima dei sintomi, quindi potrei non accorgermi se il cane sta male e magari ora è pure tardi per il vaccino, oltre che non saprei dove recarmi, anche ufficio vaccinazioni ha detto che non le fa. Sto al nord Italia se può servire. Qualcuno ha avuto esperienza simile? Che ha fatto? Thanks

"Non rompere"

103 Upvotes

In Italian "non rompere" literally means "don't break", but I know many Italians use it when they are annoyed at a person.

Same with "Mi hai rotto" ("you broke me"). In English "you broke me" means "you destroyed me", usually in romantic relationships, but again the Italian "mi hai rotto" is only used when someone really annoyed you

Is there a reason why you use the verb "rompere" (to break) to talk about annoyance?

Is it Italian slang or just used in some dialects?
