- You know how we can refer to a school of fish, or a gaggle of geese? These are collective nouns. Italian uses them too! Let's learn a bunch of important ones that apply to people, animals, and things!
Script by Patrizia Farina, Professor of Italian at Western Connecticut State University and Purchase College.

He knows a lot about Italian stuff, Professor Dave explains
Knowing Spanish makes Italian so much easier to learn. There are so many similarities 🥰
Yup. The only problem is that if you speak Italian, most of the time people online think you're speaking Spanish... Can be pretty annoying, but also funny
It can be really confusing too because some words only differ by one letter, and others are false friends.
Yes! It’s true as long as you aren’t deceived by similar-looking words (imbarazzata and embarazada, burro…)
There’s plenty of these examples, but that’s what will make the language fun to learn
They dont like when you say that
We actually do, trust me.
The fact that that the Italian word for "butter" is literally the same as the Spanish word for "donkey" is objectively fucking hilarious.
In Dutch it's the same... people in general are denoted with the word 'Men', and the verb that goes with it, is singular. Example: "People visit the beach because of the sunny weather" -> "Men bezoekt het strand vanwege het zonnige weer."
I'm Italian and I'm still seeing this video.
do you think it´s good?
In short, yes
@@unglaubiger5645 Very good actually, he uses certain words which are not very common but I'd still give it a 10/10
No way. Professor Dave used to explain science to me. Now he’s teaching me Italian because my boyfriend is Italian.
I learned where Pecorino Romano cheese gets it name at 4:20.
Hi Dave. I'm italian so i'm interested to know the reason of these videos: do you have any italian origins? You speak a very good italian, by the way. Thanks.
Yep my parents are Italian immigrants! I produced this entire Italian series with my mother, who teaches Italian. Check the full playlist.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains I thought so. Thanks, i will. I'm italian, I live in Italy and italian is my main language, but i'll watch your italian series videos anyway, 'cause they are very well done. Besides, as an italian expression says: "non si finisce mai di imparare"😃
Yo Professor Dave, how many videos do still plan to produce? Last I heard, you said you planned on just 121 videos and now you have surpassed that number. Grazie per i video. Mi piacciono tutti, sono molti utili!

I just recently did 7 more so just a couple left to come out.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Oh okay. I have been enjoying and learning a lot from this series for a while and it's a bit sad to see it come to a close. Thanks a lot! You really explain things clearly and concisely which I commend greatly.
Me, an Italian: 👀
What does 'putana' mean?
Puttana means whore, prostitute.
This means you just made an orthographic error.
me, an italian:
I have E-mailed you sir
Hey P.Dave! Can you debunk dr. Berg and his keto claims? Please check this guy out. Please and thank you for your consideration
un gruppo di intelligenza accademica ma incapace di pensare con la propria testa
ha , Im a spanish speaker , and can understand that perfectly . so similar languages , incredible.
Sorry, Prof., but I have to inform you that you pronounced "compagnia" (at 2:31 "una compagnia di ballo") incorrectly. 🙄
Hey... I'll give you a "Like" anyway. 😬
Come si pronuncia allora? Sei pensando di “compagna”?
Nonsense, he pronounced it correctly. If you are Italian, you have forgotten your language.
Ma che stai a di' ? E' giusto.
Yeah I pronounced it correctly.
Massive L. At least you entertained us and hopefully learned from you mistake, bro.
Very interesting. Collective nouns in the singular are not a peculiarity of the Italian language: there are similar words in English: “jury”, “bunch”, “crowd”, etc.
In Italian, saying “una costellazione di stelle” is redundant because “costellazione” already says it. The same applies to “arcipelago di Isole”: there can be no “arcipelago” of other things.
