      Vanno bene entrambe le versioni. Con "per favore" si dà molto più rispetto.
      Io di solito dico: "Un caffè, per favore."
      Oppure:
      "Mi farebbe un caffé, grazie."

    When I watch the Naples based films by fellows like Alfonso Brescia with dudes like Lucio Montanaro, Nino D'Angelo,Merola, etc., I fully realize that it's a difficult thing to understand. But they speak a lot of Italian too. They only seem to switch to dialect when they get excited or pissed off or want to sing. Thanks again for another video of easy to understand Italian.

      Your goal is so heartwarming, so I think it's important that I correct you: it's "grazie tante", because in this case "grazie" is plural and female, so "tanto" has to be plural and female too (=tante). I know it's a little thing, but people learn languages bit by bit, no? I wish you the best, keep up with your learning!

      I don't know why my mother was dead set against teaching me. She got her Doctorate at La Sapienza and spoke fluent, perfect standard Italian. My father's family were educated and spoke Napolitana at home as well as knowing standard Italian. At the time, speaking "dialect" was looked down upon. Maybe my mother was a language snob??? But haha! My high school offered it so I learned.

    Such great tips! I'm a native English speaker but I've been learning Italian since I was about 13 (I just realised that is 30 years this year!!) and I never realised some of this pronunciation stuff. Like the thutto/tutto thing, I do it naturally (not aspirating my T in Italian) but I never really thought about it. The whole thing about per favore is soooo true, I learnt that when I was studying in Italy. My teacher had already told me not to go around saying 'per favore, per cortesia' etc etc like some awkward tourist but I learnt almost instantly how politeness in Italy works on my first morning in Siena. I'd just arrived the night before and was one of the first students to check in to the residence, didn't know anyone or anything, and I went in search of breakfast. I finally plucked up the courage to go into a bar, the typical sort of place with pastries on display and a stand up coffee bar or tables for extra, and it was sooooo crowded, everyone on their way to work getting their coffee and pastry no doubt. So it took a while to get to the front (of course no organised line but rather a chaotic jumble of people shouting orders and baristas who seemed to be able to do eight orders at once without raising a sweat). I heard everyone ask for their coffee - just by saying that one word, °caffè° and it felt abrupt and bordering on rudeness to me, but I realised almost immediately that this was just the way it worked. The most polite it got was °caffè, grazie°. Boh. Same deal with the pizza a taglia. The fewer words used, the better it seemed. I feel like formality and politeness are two completely different things for Italians, but they are almost the same for people from the UK or Australia, for example. That is a whole other conversation! Thanks for these tips, I am going to share them with my class (as I now teach Italian at university).

      esatto, non pensare che sia corretto andare al bar e dire "caffè", è da maleducati! magari il barista, che è molto educato (e qui vige la cultura de "il cliente ha sempre ragione") non batte ciglio, ma quando qualcuno si sforza di dire "un caffè, grazie" o "un caffè, per favore" puoi star certo che è molto più che apprezzato! poi non è vero che non si usano frasi più lunghe, io ad esempio sono estremamente rispettoso dei lavoratori quindi dico sempre "è possibile avere un caffè, cortesemente?" e nessuno mi guarda come un marziano o un turista, forse sono pedante ma la cortesia è molto apprezzata in italia (dire sempre grazie, prego, per favore, per cortesia, scusi)

      I am just beginning to work on italiano. Very interesting about not using the "polite" words too often in In Italy. I just watched a video about the importance of "la politesse" in France. There, apparently, it is considered quite rude to not say "S'il vous plait," "bonjour, madam," etc., in almost all encounters.

    @italiankuningas 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Bellissimo video, complimenti :) Un'altra cosa che da italiano noto è che gli anglofoni usano molto l'espressione "I love it" quando vedono per la prima volta qualcosa che li colpisce piacevolmente, come una stanza della casa che stanno pensando di acquistare, un giardino, ecc. e spesso in italiano sento dire: "Lo/la amo" o "lo/la adoro" quando noi diremmo "è stupendo" e useremmo invece le altre due espressioni quando c'è un legame più affettivo ed emotivo con la cosa.... Ma forse mi sbaglio

    • @graziafranco5133
      @graziafranco5133 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Anch'io ho notato questa cosa. Per dire che adoriamo qualcosa deve passare un minimo di tempo, non lo diciamo subito. E mi pare che molti italiani stiano copiando questo modo di esprimersi, a forza di vedere programmi di design e simili. Vedi, per esempio, "Adoro!", cosa che odio sentire continuamente (oltre ad essere sgrammaticata 😅)

    I'm relieved actually. I've been studying English for some time now (since I was 7 years old 😅, now um 22) and as a Brazilian, who speaks portuguese - obviously - I had many bumps on the road of pronunciation with this Anglo-Saxon derived language. Allora, because of the latin origins of portuguese, many many many sounds i already speak daily. GN = NH, GL= LH, the R is the same, the T is the same, the open mouth vowels are the same (on Brazilian Portuguese) the Z sound of S between vowels... It's been like, 3 weeks since I started to really dedicate myself into learning italian and I can already sing Måneskin's song Zitti e Buoni.
    I'm glad I've come across your channel, maybe one of the best I've found to learn a proper, real, daily Italian that natives speak. Awesome work guys.

      I lived in Portugal and I struggled with the language because of the sounds that really don't exist in English. Such as the "rr" in carro, the nasal ~ like, cão, and r at the beginning of a word like, restaurante. And I was so confused by the Brazilian accent like in, "de onde" etc lol!! Overall, I regret not taking a more academic approach to learning Portuguese.. such a beautiful language.

    I just found this channel and I’m obsessed! I feel like I’m hanging out with you and learning so much quicker now! My tip for any language would be to try moving your mouth the same way as native speakers (kind of an extension of #7). Italians don’t pronounce sounds in the same way as the English so you’ll sound a lot more Italian if you stop pronouncing everything like an English person 😆

    Da italiana trovo tutti i suggerimenti molto utili, anzi un paio sulla pronuncia li proporrei ad alcuni amici e conoscenti. Aggiungo solo una cosa: a quanto ne so in inglese per dire "ti voglio bene" si usa "I love you", che tradotto verrebbe "ti amo". Tuttavia in italiano raramente si dice "ti amo" agli amici, e neanche ai parenti. È un'espressione piuttosto intima. Quindi penso che potrebbe essere utile fare notare la differenza tra "ti amo" e "ti voglio bene", al fine di evitare situazioni imbarazzanti. (Almeno io credo sia così, ma non conosco abbastanza l'America e l'inglese da poterlo affermare in tutta sicurezza, è solo un suggerimento)

    Don't say huh when you pause and reflect, say eeeh (æhh) or oooh (like "oef in french but without the f).
    If you can't say the R, put a very soft V, it will seem like a common defect of pronounce.
    When you're on the phone and you want to say goodbye don't just say "ciao" once and hang up, which is totally fine but many say "ciao *name of friend*" wait for their "ciao *their name*" and then they both say "ciao" again and then go on a ridiculous exchange of "ciaociaociaociao..." with decrease of volume with each ciao, super weird but very common.

La prof diceva sempre "dovete unire le parole". Noi tedeschi, austriaci tendiamo, soprattutto all'inizio, a fare delle pause tra - una - parola - e - l'altra. Invece, proprio perché la lingua italiana è melodica, bisogna cercare di unire le frasi e non staccare dopo ogni parola. Difficile ma non impossibile :-)

    I often use interesting phrases to express delight such as wonderful or I can't wait or even that's fabulous, is this something that is frowned upon in Italy then as I refer to it as being a passionate speaker? Grazie!

      Hoping to do something nice, I would put what you were saying this way in Italian:
      "Ho trovato il video veramente molto utile - specialmente quando usate gli italiani madrelingua che parlano comunemente nella vita di tutti i giorni. Sono diventato un follower. Grazie mille."
      The only grammar error is the lack of "che", the other things just looks unnatural. and "seguace" is commonly used for followers of some cult :)

    Bel video, come sempre. Sulla questione di "tutto", tuttavia :-D direi che oltre a quello che avete detto sull'aria, sia piu' una questione di posizione della lingua. La 't' inglese e' alveolare, vale a dire che la lingua tocca gli alveoli, mentre quella italiana e' dentale, la lingua tocca i denti. Ecco perche' i suoni emessi sono totalmente diversi. Ai miei studenti dico e' un po' come sbattere un cucchiaino su un bicchiere di vetro (t italiana) o su una bistecca di carne (tu inglese). I suoni che ne vengono sono totalmente diversi. L'emissione di aria ha invece l'effetto di prolungare il suono. Gli italiani lo interrompono in maniera netta. Spero di essere stato chiaro. Bravissimi. Consiglio i vostri video ai miei studenti.

      I will not say that it is more common for an older person to use the "per favore" expression. I agree with what Matteo and Katie are saying: it is simply not commonly used in that way

    Ciao ragazzi 😊 !
    Io trovo molto utili i consigli numero 3, 4, 5 e sopratutto il 6. Datto che io sono lituana non sempre pronuncio così bene le vocali, quindi, devo lavorare su questo. E anche il suono gl è piuttosto difficile per me.
    Il mio consiglio per suonare più come un nativo è imparare molte espressioni colloquiali (certo tranne le parolacce).

    • @rebeccatrivelloni9903

    Per noi che parliamo spagnolo è molto più facile pronunziare i vocali, la r, il suono “gn”...e noi usiamo anche i pronomi in modo molto simile. É stato molto utile quello di non dire così tanto per favore e meraviglioso. Grazie mille per essere così solari e simpatici.

    • @MikaBettanin
      @MikaBettanin 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually Spanish people tend to use the closed version of o and e (/o/ and /e/) instead of the more common /ɛ/ and /ɔ̝/. Nothing too serious, but it's that's a mark that immediately identifies the speaker as a Spanish native :-)

  • @paulhearn8667
    @paulhearn8667 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    An addendum to #7 A little trick for the English speakers, who tend to speak in their mouths/throats, the Italian language sits/is placed higher in the face, behind the nose. It might help if you think of the space behind your nose as your "italian" mouth, where the vowels are formed. If you close your mouth and hum, "drawing" (not pushing) the sound of the hum out of your nose, you'll have found the "placement" for italian. The next trick is to breathe in and instead of as in English, where we let the breath blow out of our mouths (hat, hot, what, hello etc) breath in through your nose and feel like your holding the breath back when you begin to speak Italian. (It's a slightly similar feeling to when you have to sneeze. Eventually it will begin to feel natural to hold the breath back.) You'll notice it allows you to make your double consonants much more easily. The consonants are made on the lips, but the vowels are formed behind the nose and then drawn out, like a hum, NOT PUSHED OUT, which would make it sound nasal. I hope this helps someone out there with their pronunciation.

Ero allo Zion national park, e c'era un cartello "To the Arch", ho chiesto ad un Americano che scendeva "How is the arch" risposta "it's marvelousw", penso, varrà veramente la pena allora. Dopo mezz'ora di cammino giungo all'arco, che non era niente di speciale, sicuramente non valeva mezz'ora di cammino...Quando poi stavo scendendo io alla stessa domanda fatta da un'altra turista ho risposto "it's pretty" :-)
