Coffee Break Italian Season 1 Episode 10 Talver tutti e benvenuti a Coffee Break Italian Eo Sonomark. All right. How are you today? How are you? I'm very good. Thank you. And you're French. How are you? Yes, thank you very much. Thank you very much, Eo Sonomark. I'm fine, but today I'm sick. Sick? Ah, it's not a good news. Having a sore throat is not a good idea for recording a podcast. Oh, sick. Let's try repeating that. Oh, sick. Oh, sick. Oh, mal di gola. And if I had a sore head, I could say. Oh, mal di testa. Can you try saying that? Oh, mal di testa. Oh, mal di, and then whatever the body part is. Oh, mal di, ogeo, mal di gola. There's always an opportunity to learn some Italian. Okay, in this episode, we're going to be going over some of the language that we've learned in the past 10 shows. Obviously, you've been working on your Italian now for some time, and we've been covering a number of areas of vocabulary and different patterns of the language. And today, it's time to go over these things. However, we're going to do so with the help of some conversations. Allora, siamo pronti, are we all ready? Si. Cominciamo. So, we're on lesson 10, and in this first group of 10 lessons, we've been learning lots of different topics. For example, we've been learning to introduce ourselves. Let's put Katie on the spot here. Katie, I want you to imagine that you are called François, that you're French, that you're from Paris originally, but now you live in Nice and in Nice in Italian is Nizza. Nizza. Okay, so can you introduce yourself based on those details? Okay, ciao. Mi chiamo François, sono francese, sono di Parigi, ma adesso abito a Nizza. Bravissima, Katie. Well done. Okay, now we've also been learning to talk about family, so we've been introducing family members. Let me think perhaps we could say this is my son. He is called Jon, and this is my daughter, and she is called Lucy. Katie, who would you say all of that in Italian? Questo è mio figlio, si chiama Jon. È questa è mia figlia, si chiama Lucy. Fantastico. E' effetto. Okay, now we've also been looking at places in the town, and we've been learning how to say where is such and such. So, for example, we could ask, excuse me, where is the pizzeria? Scusi dove la pizzeria? Molto bene. Or what about, excuse me, is there a beach nearby? Scusi c'è una spiaggia qui vicino? Molto bene. Sì, bravissima. Okay, one other idea of language that we've been learning about is more recently when we've been asking, for example, can you speak more slowly? Katie, can you remember how you would say can you speak more slowly, please? All our listeners are able to answer all these questions to now what we're going to do is put all of this language or some of the language at least into a conversation. And Francesca and I will be taking on two roles in this conversation, and then Katie, you can have a listen and see what you can work out from the conversation. As usual, when we do a conversation, we'll be hearing this twice. So, the idea is that my name is Rob. And let's have a conversation, and this takes place in the town. Okay, good day, excuse me, can I help you? Yes, of course, tell me. I'm lost. Where is the center? Excuse me, tell me about the garden, please. Yes, yes, we're here. And the center is here. Okay, thank you. Is there a pantheria here vicino? A pantheria, yes, there is one, but a little bit far. On the cartina there is one here. But it's not Italian. No, I'm not Italian. I'm neo-gelandese, but now I live in the United States. I'm here in Italy in Vacanza. Oh, very well. And you're from Milan? Yes, yes, I'm from Milan. But how is it called? My name is Rob. And you? I like Angela. I like Angela. Oh, I still have a question. Where is the castle? The castle is always straight then straight and then takes the second road to the left. Got it? Yes, got it. Thank you very much. Prego, good day. Arrivederci. Okay, I think I understood most of that. There were definitely a few new phrases in there, so I think it would be good to listen to that conversation again, please. Okay, here we go. Bon giorno, scosì mi può aiutare? Si, certo, dica. Mi sono perso. Dove il centro me lo indica sulla cartina per favore? Si, si, siamo qui. E il centro è qui. Okay, grazie. C'è una paneteria qui vicino. Una paneteria, sì, c'è ne è una, ma un polontano, sulla cartina c'è ne è una qui. Ma e lei non è italiano? No, non sono italiano, sono neo-zelandese, ma adesso abito negli stati uniti. Sono qui in Italia, in vacanza. Ah, molto bene. E lei? Di Milano? Si, sono di Milano. Come si chiama? Piacere, io sono Angela. Piacere, Angela. Oh, ancora una domanda. Dove il castello? Il castello. Allora, sempre dritto, girì a destra. E poi prenda la seconda strada a sinistra. A capito? Si, ho capito. Benissimo. Grazie molte. Prego, buona giornata. Adi vederti. Ok, it's time now to go back through our conversation. And hopefully everyone will understand exactly what was going on. To begin with, I said, mi puo aiutare. Katie, can you remember what that means? Can you help me? Mi puo aiutare. We can use puo in a polite way, in a formal way, to mean can you do something? So can you speak more slowly, please? We remember that one. Ok, so mi puo aiutare, to me can you help? Mi puo aiutare. And then Angela said, si, certo, dica. So, yes, of course, tell me what you want. Dica. And then I said, a new phrase, we've not come across this one before, I said, ni sono perso. And that is quite a useful phrase to see if you can't find your way around. Can you work out what it means? I'm lost. I'm lost. That's right. So I'm lost. And perso, you might think of your French word, perdue. It's linked in there to perdre. So perso is the past participle form of the verb? Perdere. To lose. So I've got myself lost, mi sono perso. Katie, can you work out how you would say I've got myself lost? I was just going to ask about that, Mark. Would I say mi sono perso? Si brava, Katie. I want you to know where the center is, what was I asking? Where is the city center? And then I said, "Melo indica sulla cartina, per favore." What was I asking there? Can you walk out? What that might be? "Melo indica sulla cartina." Where you're asking if Angela could point out to you on the map. Like, "La cartina" is a map, it's a map of a town, a town plan on a cartina. What would the map of the world, or the map of the country be, Francesca? We can say "la mapa." "La mapa." So, "la mapa" is a large-scale map for a country or an area, and when we're talking about a town plan, it's "la cartina." Yes. "Melo indica sulla cartina, so can you indicate it to me on the map?" "Melo indica sulla cartina, per favore." So, Angela then said, "Sì, sì, siamo qui, e il centro è qui." "Siamo qui, e il centro è qui." So, "Siamo," is a word we've heard a couple of times, and sometimes ask "Siamo pronti, are we ready?" So, "Siamo qui, we are here, e il centro è qui." And the center is here, obviously at this point Angela's pointing to the map to see where we are. And then I had a question. I'm obviously feeling a little bit hungry, I've asked "C'è una paneteria, qui vicino?" Katie, what does that mean? "Is there a baker's nearby?" "Is there a baker's nearby?" Listen to Angela's response. "Una paneteria, eh sì, c'è ne una, ma un po' lontano." "C'è ne una, ma un po' lontano." "Poi spiegare, can you explain?" "I think she said yes, there is one, but it's a little bit far away." "Perfecto, c'è ne una, there's one of them, c'è ne una, we're talking about una paneteria, so c'è ne una, ma un po' lontano, but it's a little far away." We've heard "un po" when we talked about "do you speak Italian, sì, par l'un po, un po' lontano, a little far away." And then Angela goes on to say, "On the map, there's one here." "Sulla cartina, c'è ne una, qui?" So there's one of them, it's that "ne" again, c'è ne una, qui, there's one of them here. Then Angela has a question for Rob. "A lei, non è, italiano." But you're not Italian? That's right, and of course she's using the formal form here. Ma lei, non è, italiano, "You are not Italian," and just a remainder. If we're writing that "lei" down, then we need to use a capital L, because the capital L is used for the formal "You, lei, non è, italiano, you're not Italian." And Rob's answer is, no, non sono italiano, sono ne Odzelandese, so where's Rob from? New Zealand. He is indeed from New Zealand, ma adesso abitone di Stati Uniti. But now he lives in the United States. Exactly, and then he says, "Sono qui in Italia in vacanza." He's in Italy on holiday. On holiday, on vacation, exactly, sono qui in vacanza, in vacanza, on holiday. OK, then we find a little more about where Angela's from. Rob asks, "lei è di Milano." That would mean "and you are you from Milan?" Exactly, and what did Angela say? "Sì, sono di Milano." So that's fairly straightforward. Yes, I am from Milan. OK. When Rob answers, or he asks, rather, another question, he said, "O ancora una domanda." I have another question, ancora is the word for another. It's linked to the French word "oncor," which, of course, means to hear something again, ancor, what you would show to the theatre if you wanted another performance of a song, and in Italian, that becomes ancora. "Ancora." "Ancora una domanda." OK. And what was his other question, he asked, dove il Castello? "Where is the castle?" Benissimo. And then he gets some directions from Angela. Can you work out what those directions are? I think she said, "Go straight on, then turn right, and then take the second street on your left." And then Angela wants to know if Rob has understood. She asks, "A capito." So that means, "Have you understood a capito?" And Rob's answer is, "Sí, o capito, I have understood." We learned, "O capito" or "capisco" as an "I understand." In this case, "O capito, I have understood." Then Rob's going to say, "Thank you." He says, "Grazie molte. Many thanks, literally." And then they say, "Goodbye." And then they say, "Goodbye." No, no capito, what did you say, "abastanza?" Okay. Let's put this in a real context, here if you don't understand what our word means, you can see what does "abastanza" mean. "Cosa vuol dire abastanza?" Let's just try the question from there. Cosa vuol dire, yeah, literally means what wants to see, okay, it means what does something mean, "Cosa vuol dire abastanza?" "Cosa vuol dire abastanza?" "Abastanza" means quite, so "abastanza" fa Chile, quite easy, okay. Okay, we're going to take a short break there and we'll be back in just a moment.

It's an informal conversation because we're back at that famous cocktail party again, meeting people and getting to note new friends. This time, Katie is going to be involved and you're playing yourself. Okay. I am going to be taking the part of Luca and my sister, Arabella, is going to be played by Francesca. Wow, okay, well, no, man. Okay, so let's go to our cocktail party one last time. Ciao, sono Katie. Ciao, io sono Luca, e questa è mia sorella, Arabella. Ciao, piacere. Piacere, mio. Di dove sei Katie? Io so. sconzese di Stangels e tu era bella siamo italiani di torino ma adesso abitiamo a caserta vicino Napoli ma parli italiano che ti? Sto imparando da due mesi e facile no? No ma parlo francese e spagnolo e tu parli inglese? Non parlo inglese ma arabe un pochino io parlo un po' di giapponese. Ah molto bene sei invaccanza con la tua famiglia? Si sono invaccanza con mia madre, mio padre e il mio compagno. Come si chiama no? La mia mamma si chiama sale e il mio papà si chiama John e il mio compagno è Paul. Molto bene. Quanto tempo rimanete qui? Scusa ma non ho capito. Sei invaccanza a Napoli per cinque notti o sette notti? Ah sì sette notti. Va bene. Allora come si dice "I have to go now" in italiano? Si dice "Devo andare". Grazie. Allora "Devo andare". Buona serata. E buone vacanze. Grazie. Arrivederci. Ok, that was a little more complicated. There were, again, some freezes in there that you perhaps didn't fully understand. Let's have another lesson and hopefully the same things will be a little more clear. Ciao, sono Keti. Ciao, io sono Luca e questa è mia sorella, aravella. Ciao, piacere. Piacere, mio. Di dove sei? Keti. Io sono sconzese di Sentanges e tu era bella. Siamo italiani di Torino, ma adesso abitiamo a caserta vicino Napoli. Ma parli italiano, Keti? Sto imparando da due mesi. È facile, no? No, ma parlo francese e spagnolo. E tu parli inglese? No, non parlo inglese, ma arabele un pochino. Io parlo un po' di giapponese. Ah molto bene. Sei invaccanza con la tua famiglia? Sì. Sono invaccanza con mia madre, mio padre e il mio compagno. Come si chiama, no? La mia mamma si chiama sale e il mio papà si chiama John. E il mio compagno è Paul. Molto bene. Scusa, ma non ho capito. Ah sì, sette notti. Ma bene. Allora, come si dice "I have to go now" in italiano? Grazie. Allora, "Devo andare". Buona serata. E buone vacanze. Grazie. Arrivederci. Ok, so how was that this time? Hopefully you've understood lots of this conversation. Unfortunately, there's not enough time to go through the whole conversation in detail in this lesson. And what we're actually going to do is go through it in detail in our bonus episode. In that forms part of our premium materials, the Coffee Break Italian plus membership that we've mentioned once or twice before. We'll go through all the bonus vocabulary here for this conversation and explain everything in detail in that other episode. Before we finish this lesson, however, there are some other phrases that we'd like to get in. And these are some important phrases that you can use at different times of the year or in different occasions that are very important for you to know. So let's begin with a very important phrase and that is "Happy Birthday". Buon compleanno. Let's listen again to Francesca say this slowly. So that's "Happy Birthday". Buon compleanno. We can also use another phrase at birthday times or indeed, anytime we're congratulating someone. Si "Auguri". "Auguri" literally are "wishes". Wishes, yes. So we can just say that word on its own. Aha, or "Tanti Auguri". Ok, so let's take those two together. We've got "Auguri". "Auguri", "Auguri", "Tanti Auguri", "Tanti Auguri", "Tanti Auguri", "Tanti Auguri". So many wishes, lots of wishes. Now another way of wishing someone good luck is our really nice expression and that is literally into the mouth of the wolf. Yes. In Bocca al lupo. In Bocca al lupo. Francesca, "Poi spiegare, can you explain this expression?" There are different schools of thought regarding this expression. Some people say that because the wolf is the symbol of Rome and it's something very protective. So it's very safe to be in the mouth of the wolf, but some other people say it's something that hunters used to say before going hunting. So I'm not really sure, but a very important thing is the reply to this wish. "Never say "grazie" because it's bad luck. What you have to say is "crepi". So let's try this in Bocca al lupo. In Bocca al lupo. And then the response is "crepi". So you must remember that to never say "grazie" in response to "in Bocca al lupo". You must "de" and "de" instead. Say "crepi". Sí, "crepi". My mom always says "grazie". Okay, so that's another phrase for you in Bocca al lupo and "crepi". And then perhaps another phrase that you might want to use at some point in your Italian journey is "ti amo". Bueno, "ti amo". "Ti amo". What does that mean? It means "I love you". That's a very famous umberto tazzi song, isn't it? "Ti amo". Oh, "E' chiedo per dono". Well, that's not saying anymore. That's embarrassing. Head over to YouTube and have a look at the umberto tazzi song "Ti amo". Okay, a couple of other phrases that make come in useful at different times of the year. We've got, first of all, happy Easter. Buona pasqua. What about happy Christmas? Buona natale. And happy new year. Buon anno. Okay, so your fully equipped now for dealing with Italian at all times of the year and in all situations. And that is where we're going to leave it for today. Okay, we've completed 10 lessons together. We've learned lots and lots of Italian words and phrases. And hopefully we've started laying the foundations of what you need to know to make more progress. So that you understand the patterns of the language and that you're not just learning these phrases off by heart. We will, of course, be back soon with more Italian for you. We're taking a couple of weeks break now as we always do after 10 lessons, but we'll be back very soon and in the next series of lessons. We'll be learning more transactional material to deal with a trip to an Italian speaking area. Don't forget that we will be going through the second conversation from today's lesson in our bonus lesson.
