  • Learn these phrases in Italian to sound just like a native speaker! Learn from a native!
    Italian is also spoken by large immigrant and expatriate communities in the Americas and Australia.[1] Italian is included under the languages covered by the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Romania, although Italian is neither a co-official nor a protected language in these countries.[5][10] Some speakers of Italian are native bilinguals of both Italian (either in its standard form or regional varieties) and a local language of Italy, most frequently the language spoken at home in their place of origin.[1]
    Italian is a major language in Europe, being one of the official languages of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and one of the working languages of the Council of Europe. It is the second-most-widely spoken native language in the European Union with 67 million speakers (15% of the EU population) and it is spoken as a second language by 13.4 million EU citizens (3%).[11][12] Including Italian speakers in non-EU European countries (such as Switzerland, Albania and the United Kingdom) and on other continents, the total number of speakers is approximately 85 million.[13] Italian is the main working language of the Holy See, serving as the lingua franca (common language) in the Roman Catholic hierarchy as well as the official language of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Italian has a significant use in musical terminology and opera with numerous Italian words referring to music that have become international terms taken into various languages worldwide.[14] Almost all native Italian words end with vowels and has a 7-vowel sound system ('e' and 'o' have mid-low and mid-high sounds). Italian has contrast between short and long consonants and gemination (doubling) of consonants.

    My Italian friends taught me to order “cafe coretto.” And if asked “con cosa?” the appropriate response is “con la Grappa, sicuramente.” I tried it, and I always get the widest smiles to my Asian face.

    Regarding the breakfast, in the Piemonte region brioche/croissant is likely used given the very heavy influence of French and how close it is with the regional language/dialect. Although if one says "un cornetto", given how many people originally from the South settled there, 99% of the times the bartender will know exactly what that person wants.

    "Café" is also the standard form of asking for an espresso in Portugal. If you want that coffee flavored water that Germans, Brits and Americans call coffee, you ask for a "carioca" or, more rarely, "americano". For a corretto, you ask for "café com cheirinho".

    Cappuccino is mainly consumed in the morning but, especially in the colder months, we also drink it in the afternoon/evening.
    One thing we never do is ask for a cappuccino at the end of lunch or dinner (as Americans often do)....

    Whenever an Italian starts a question with "but", one should assume that the first part of the sentence is being omitted as something that can be easily inferred from context or intonation and attitude. E.g.: [Excuse me if I disturb you,] but where can I find that thing? We do tend to play it loose with what is "easy to infer" though, and I would avoid it with people I do not know at least a fair bit.

    Nice video! Your Italian is beautifully pronounced, and your English is excellent. However, as someone in the comments already pointed out, I think that these phrases are more advanced than a beginner should be using. More times than not, the person with whom you are speaking will reply in colloquial Italian, which you won't understand. L'altra cosa è; Spaghetti con il ragu? Mannaggia! Non è la pasta giusta per il ragu. Dai, si trova spaghetti al ragu solo nei ristoranti o trattorie turistici! Se non vuoi tagliatelle, meglio scegliere pappardelle, fettuccine, rigatoni etc. che sono molto piu adatte al ragu. Mi scusi tutte i miei errore in italiano. Sto imparando Italiano solo da un anno e mezzo.

      di is necessary because otherwise today is not connected to video, sentirti vs ascoltarti is something tricky you should look up, nuove refers to cose so the order must be switched and you need yo use sulla instead of della, this is also tricky, finally you need to use the future of try in cercherò because you cannot use cercare that way, it's a direct translation from english which doesn't work, I hope this will help anyone trying to learn!

    I would not dare to disagree with you, but allow me to add this. If you are American and ordering coffee along the highway, at the auto grill, if you say "caffe" you will get an American style coffee every single time. Same if you say "espresso" does not matter. You need to add "non Americano". I guess they are so used to American tourists that they assume no matter what you call the coffee what you "really want" is a big US style cup of coffee. My wife finally figured out to add non Americano, and that seemed to work.

      we italians don't use the word espresso, so along the highway we still use the word caffé.

      Maybe the american tourist got an american coffee because of the way he pronounced "caffé".

      Nope, I don't know the history of roadside Italian rest stops, just like I wouldn't expect an Italian tourist to know the nuances of the US freeway rest stops vs. Interstate exit businesses. And I am aware Italians don't normally say "espresso" but when faced with someone who assumes you mean American coffee when you say cafe it seemed like a word to try. Why this seems so important to you I have no idea. I live in a tourist area in the US and I A: assume everyone will not be familiar with everything everywhere and B: if they are trying to speak English then I try to help them out, not get upset that they didn't know something.@@Chaiserzose

    The real sin with cappuccino is ordering it after a meal, as a sort of “digestive”. This is truly cringeworthy in Italy. It is like being in the U.S., eating a nice pork chop and then ordering a plate of pancakes with maple syrup. It is not toxic but it looks a bit weird.

    Also, you can have a similar thing of a capuccino after 11.00 by just ordering a "Macchiato".
    It's basically an espresso with milk foam, abundant considering the quantities of an espresso.
    Consider it a "small capuccino".

    • @silviomichi6293
      @silviomichi6293 Před 5 měsíci +1

      There’s another way to order a cappuccino in strange hours. As you probably know, italians pay attention also to the type of cup they get their coffee: some want ceramic ones, some others prefer a small glass, some others a bigger cup claiming that it reaches quickly a drinkable temperature.
      So, if you ask for a “caffè macchiato in tazza grande”, you basically get a cappuccino and nobody will make comments about time you order it.
      But be aware that some could think you are trying to save the difference of price between a macchiato and a cappuccino, and, especially in Tuscany, you could be labelled as a fan of the “cappuccino dei lucchesi”, just as inhabitants of Lucca are popularly renowned to be a little stingy 😂

      If it can make you feel any better, there are plenty of not so well educated native italians that use conditional tenses wrong.
      To be honest, if you are unsure about those complex tenses and need to use hypothetitcal sentences, "present + present" for concretely possible scenario would work, and "imperfect past + imperfect past" for possibility that did not present themselves sounds ugly and is grammatically incorrect but fully understandable. My grampa, who despite being Italian had the regional language/dialect as native language, used to talk like that and we never had troubles understanding what he wanted.
