  • Ciao Guys!
    Finally a video about my native language: ITALIAN!
    In this video I discuss the 8 features that make Italian a unique language even among its own dearest, Romance language cousins. I've done some research, so I really hope you enjoy, like and share!
    For this, I'm taking into account the other main Romance languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French and Romanian.
    If you'd like to read more about the topic of this video, take a look here (in Italian):

    Here in Miami, I used to give Spanish speakers directions in Romanian before I got a better grip of it. "Buen Espaniol!!", was the usual reply. After learning basic Italian for fun, my Spanish got way worse as Italian was kicking my Spanish abilities/memory out. It got so bad at times I would just mix the three up and serve it to them. It worked! I called it "Latin soup." lol....

    I have also noticed that the italian language is the only one with the verb essere ( to be), which uses the auxiliary verb essere, exemple io sono stato.
    While the french language with the verb être (to be) uses the auxiliary verb avoir (to have).

    Greek shows several parallels. It also uses the “go” verb like Italian; “Πάω να σπουδάσω” can only mean physically going somewhere to study.
    The subjunctive was differentiated only spelling before spelling reform; after “να” (that), “θα” (future particle that derived from “θενά < θέλω να < θέλω ίνα” - I want that...) and “οταν” (relative “when”).
    It does have double forms of accusative pronouns. Σε βλέπω - I see you, but Βλέπω εσένα / Εσένα βλέπω” (I see YOU and not someone else.)
    Double consonants are not pronounced in mainland Greek but in Cypriot dialect they are. So κόκκαλο (bone) is “kó-ka-lo in Greece but “kók-ka-lo” in Cyprus.
    Does Italian have any regional vowel shift in unaccented syllables? In Greek, the main hallmark of the northern accents is that O and E become U and I respectively when unstressed. That also happens in Thracian dialects of Bulgarian and Turkish, but who knows what is the chicken and what’s the egg...someone probably does actually but not me. :-)

    I love your videos--I have only recently discovered them. This one is particularly good. I had come to these conclusions myself slowly and not formally. I am relatively fluent in Spanish, and have a pretty good working knowledge of Portuguese, but your familiarity with French and Romanian completed the comparisons. My particular interest is the Italian subjunctive--I love its ability to reflect nuance. Great videos!; but you cannot convince me to learn Finnish! I will brush up on my Hebrew instead.

    On number 5: Portuguese also has long consonants: R (as in Spanish) and S.
    A few examples: Merry-go-round (Giostra in italian) is "Carrossel" in Portuguese, long R, long S. Murderer is Asesino in Spanish (short S) but "Assassino" in Portuguese, two long S.

      You should also consider that in some cases the final vowel is cut when it's needed for poetic reasons. For example: cuor, amor, mar, far, andar, sognar, etc.

    A thing that I noticed is that in contrast to other Romance languages, Italian avoids consonant clusters and replaces them by double consonants:

    admirer --> ammirare
    factum --> fatto
    exact --> esatto...

  • @drcat2763
    @drcat2763 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If this makes you happier, we do have double "r" in Spanish but we don't really pronounce it longer. It just denotes a standard (short) rolled r sound when the r is in between vowels. Single r between vowels is more like the English r, it doesn't vibrate. We also have double "c" but only before e or i and each c is pronounced differently. So I guess you can really say Italian is the only one with double letters that result in an actual double sound :)

    Hi. I just discovered your channel and just saw this video. This kind of thing is right up my alley . Sorry for the very late comment. I "only" know Spanish and French and am about at an intermediate high level in Italian, so this point might not be valid or apply to Portuguese or the other romance languages. If it is valid and is unique to Italian, it's likely already been pointed out (I didn't read all the 252 comments). One difference from French and Spanish that struck me in Italian is the apparently optional "che" before a subjunctive. It stuck me as being very "foreign" to hear "volevo tu fossi qui” or "Spero capisca". These sentences are unimaginable in French or Spanish without the "que" (even though "J'espère que" wouldn´t take a subjuntive).

    C'è anche un'altra particolarità del verbo 'andare' che non credo le altre romanze abbiano: 'va' + participio sta per 'dover' fare. Es. "Questo va fatto prima di giovedì!", "É un libro bellissimo, va letto!", "Il dolce va consumato prima della scadenza."

    I'm Romanian, I'm also Aromanian(closest language to the Dacoromanian spoken today in Romania) and I've been learning and speaking Italian for many years now.
    I've been working in Italian for four years now and I can tell you that Italian is my only true passion I've ever had.
    Italian grammar is way easier than the Romanian one because it has strict rules that simply work as they are.
    Comunque, ti scriverò pure due parole qui cosicché tu veda quale sia il mio livello.
    L'italiano è sempre stata la mia vera passione e, un giorno, vorrei trasferirmi lì, in Italia.
    Spero questa pandemia passi perché non sono più andato in Italia dal 2019 e già non ce la faccio più.
    Un grandissimo abbraccione dalla Romania
    EDIT: Parlavi delle coniugazioni, delle concordanze tra i verbi, tra i tempi verbali.. Sono le più belle cose da imparare, soprattuto quando devi dire
    "Se mi conoscevi, non dicevi questa cosa"(If you knew me, you wouldn't say that)
    "Se mi conoscessi, non diresti questa cosa"(If you knew me, you wouldn't say that)
    "Se mi avessi conosciuto, non avresti detto questa cosa"(If you had known me, you wouldn't have said that)

Look, it's full of babbles here too, it has to sound bad before it sounds better and then really good, if you know what I mean :) Learning language is a long journey and we're wired to learn slowly but steadily.

    Video molto interessante anche per un madrelingua italiano!
    Rispetto all'ultima particolarità, in alcuni autori (ho un ricordo in Manzoni, ma dovrei rintracciare il passo) hviene usato il condizionale presente per indicare il futuro nel passato.
    Ho anche sentito a volte (specialmente in programmi di cucina) usare " vado a..." per indicare un futuro immediato. Forse un francesismo o un inglesismo.

Ai dreptate în primul punct, adică așa este cu verbul a merge (am chiar arătat în clip că ”voi” nu vine de la a merge), dar în română avem o structură foarte asemănătoare cu verbul de intenție (voi, vei, va...) și infinitivul, care are aceeași funcție. Pentru punctul 7, mi se pare, sincer să fiu, că sensul este diferit dacă spui ”vor fi așteptat” (would have waited) în comparație cu ”vor aștepta” (would wait).

    In Latin American Spanish use of the subjunctive in the example you gave is more tolerated, to imply some degree of doubt: “Crees que sea buena idea?” I don’t know if this has the same root as the Italian structure or whether it developed independently.

I think Spanish and Portuguese actually allow for the usage of the subjunctive with certain verbs (especially pensar and the like) to express a higher degree of uncertainty, but the point here is that it's perfectly ok (the norm, in fact) to use the indicative instead, which isn't even an option in Italian :)

      In German, the two dots above certain vowels are actually called trema. An umlaut is the combination of said trema and A, O, U > Ä, Ö, Ü.
      But an umlaut is also a phonetic phenomenon that is not always shown in that fashion. There are some words that bear an umlaut in them, but are written with an E instead, for example the word "alt" (old) becomes "älter" (older), but "Eltern" (parents) which derives also from "alt" shows the umlaut as E, otherwise it would be "Ältern" which is completely false. It is the same phoneme in both cases: /ɛ/

      @idraote 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are perceiving a difference because there is a difference :)
      Speakers from the north of Italy tend to pronounce double consonants as simple. What they do is stressing the difference in length of the vowel. They pronounce a vowel short before a double consonant and make a very slight pause and that's what you perceive as ga-tto or ca-ssa. A vowel before a single consonant is long.
      Speakers from the rest of Italy, Tuscany included, pronounce gat-to and cas-sa. The difference in vowel length is there but it is not phonemic.
      As for the J, it has been in use since the Renaissance to more or less the beginning of the XX century. It made sense because the intervocalic I (aia) is different from the normal I (pila) but the difference is not really phonemic.
      That is why you will find it in place names and surnames as many of them are old.

    Os sons "s" e "ss" em português são idênticos ao italiano. Só que para complicar também temos o "ç" quem tem o som "ss", ex. casa caça.

    • @malarobo

      "ss" and "ç" in portuguese are pronounced like english "star" but are simple sounds. Its a different sound, but not a long sound, just like the difference between "casa" and "estrela": in "estrela" the "s" is like "ç".
      Italian "ss" is pronounced long, like "ç-ç" (two sounds ç one after another without pause between them).

    Grazie, Stefano! Questo video è molto interessante per me perché parlo tutte e cinque le "grandi" lingue romanze. Vorrei menzionare un'altra cosa tipica per l'italiano.
    All'italiano non piacciono le parole che finiscono con una consonante. Quasi ogni sostantivo, verbo o aggettivo che finisce con una consonante in una delle altre lingue romanze avrà una vocale in italiano:
    - spagnolo: verdad (verità), dolor (dolore), rapaz (rapace), pensar (pensare);
    - portoghese: personagem (personaggio), cor (colore), perdem (perdono);
    - francese: cœur (cuore), main (mano), fin (fine), finir (finire);
    - rumeno: cânt (canto), bun (buono), nas (naso).

    Some of these features you are announcing here are not unique to Italian. In Catalan "vedo a studiare" is "vaig a estudiar" and it also implies a physical movement. It's not the future tense. "vaig" is the present tense of "anar" (to go). Furthermore, "vaig estudiar" (notice: no 'a') stands for "I studied", and this is certainly, a unique case not only in romance languages, but I would say in many languages of the world: using a verb in present tense to express past. In Catalan there are also many double consonants with minimal pairs: r/rr, s/ss, m/mm, n/nn and even l/ll/l·l (this last letter is a long l, a geminate sound).

    There were some I never thought of!
    Although, you made a small mistake: not *all* consonants in Italian can be both long and short.
    The consonants that can never be phonetically long or short are the ones spelled with "z", "sc(i)", "gli" and "gn".

    • @Gorgonath
      @Gorgonath 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Actually they can, but the difference is not phonemic. This happens because all those sounds are always doubled when they can be, but there are some position where sounds cannot be doubled, like after a consonant, so the z in marzo is short, but the z in mazzo and the one in spazio are both long. Same goes for all the other sounds. (Maybe you already know this, it's just to give some more information about this)

      Ciao Flavio, ottima osservazione! Io in realtà per non complicare oltremodo le cose, e dopo una seppure breve ricerca, ho deciso di dire "tutte" accontentandomi - semplicisticamente - del fatto che "sc", "gli" e "gn" sono gruppi consonantici, e che la "z" possiede oltre al normale grado rafforzato anche un "grado medio" (non tenue, ma pur sempre non rafforzato) in parole quali forza, garza, ecc. (vedi www.treccani.it/vocabolario/z-z/ ). Diciamo che me lo sono fatto bastare, ma chiaramente la tua osservazione rimane valida :)

      Ciao e grazie del commento! In realtà dipende dal verbo, per esempio "achar" vuole sempre l'indicativo, mentre "pensar" ammette entrambi i modi indicativo o congiuntivo, dove quest'ultima indica un livello di certezza inferiore. Il punto è che mentre in portoghese possiamo usare l'indicativo con "pensar", in italiano non si può proprio (poi naturalmente nell'uso quotidiano succede, e anche relativamente spesso :-P).
