vuoi (vuole?) parlare italianese

[Alameda]

please please I beg on my knees

can't find anything like it in dictionary :( in the other book it suggests andare a cavallo, like andare in bicicletta + essere

spero fa bello più tardi!

Anch'io!

That is odd. Montare sounds better to me the more I think about it.

Vado a cavallo? 'clinging on for dear life' at the moment more like, pregiamo ...

Ciao, la mia schiena va molto meglio oggi.

Oggi qui piove e fa freddo, e io sono già stufa. Vorrei che fosse sempre estate.

Sono felice che tu schiene e meglio! Fa friddu chi anche. E fa nibbiusu sta mattina,

Qualcuno te guardese Malena? La pellicula con Monica Bellucci? Someone gave it me for my mum, but I don't know if it's going to be too much for her.

Forgot my manners: Ciao a tutti, comu stai?

And my punctuation, dear god. My bambini are not at school today, you see what they are doing to me?

No, never seen malena... I don't think it is a particularly good film, but I might be confusing it for a different one

It looks terrible to be honest, I think the basic story is 'Monica Bellucci is beautiful' but she'd get upset if there were bombs and Germans. DH has, very kindly, offered to watch it. He says it'd be a terrible problem, but, well, for my mother

Ciao everyone,

Have just looked at the IMDB synopsis for that movie - it sounds a bit, uhm, 'saucy' for want of a better word!

Qui, fa freddissimo oggi, ho su' i jeans, una maglietta, un vestito sopra la maglietta e il golf di lana e ho ancora freddo.

Si, mi penso ce chistu mernu e molto friddu. :(

Apparently the last bit is very upsetting too. I think I'll watch it first.

It is 10 degrees here, it was 22 just 3 days ago! I am not ready for winter.

I moan a lot in the winter

E una differenza grossu!

Mi penso che tutti moan in winter. It's horrible!

sto troppo male, non posso vivere così :(

actually might be slightly better but no energy, so depressing, is spring coming yet?

Oh povera Alameda! Get thee some zinc + vit c supplements from Boots, they work! (ime)

Ciao a tutti! Povera Alameda :( Mi penso che duviriamo hibernate.

La pelliculla era trash, but very enjoyable trash I don't know if I'll give it to my mum though, quite violent! Ma il paisaggiu e vestiti eranu beddu.

grazie grazie per essere comprensiva (there must be a better way to say that!)

is there zinc in berocca? I just need to pull myself together, should save the sulking for when it is actually cold really wish had made it to Italian class but tutor has kindly sent lots of homework

please all feel free to help!

Traducete le seguenti frasi:

1 where are you going ( formal) tomorrow afternoon?
2 We re going to the beach , why don?t you come with us?
3 She?s making pasta every day and I make the sauce
4 They?re coming to the theatre with their kids but Maria comes alone
5 Do I have to book the tickets today or can I book tomorrow?
6 You have to/must book today.
7 Excuse me, can aprire the window? It?s very hot here!
8 We cannot wait any longer because it?s very late.
9 The gentleman want to know your name, surname and where you live ( formal) .
10 We are English, from London. Are you ( plural) Italian?
11 She?s ready to leave for Bologna, but her girl friend is in ritardo.
12 They have 2 children and 3 dogs. We do not have children but we have 5 cats.
13 I go out with andare fuori or uscire?my friends on Saturday evening, we?re going ( we go) to the new restaurant near the Duomo and then we?re going to the ice cream parlour ? Nuovo Fiore?. The ice creams are wonderful/very good.
14 My husband/wife is arriving/arrives later by car .

Possessivi: ( singular)

Always preceed my, your, Your, his/her/, our, your ( plural), their with an article- IL before masculine words
( singular)

il mio/tuo/suo/Suo/nostro/vostro/loro ie: il mio gatto, il suo libro,
Or : LA before feminine words ( singular)
la mia/tua/sua/nostra/vostra/loro ie: la mia borsa, la tua casa, la sua macchina etc..
The only exception is when you refer to family members in the singular , ie: mio fratello, sua sorella, nostra cugina, tuo cognato, mio nonno, mia zia etc.. NO ARTICLE.

For example:​my husband plays golf = mio marito gioca a golf
​my sister in law is Italian= mia cognata è italiana
​his grandchild has a new car= suo nipote ha una ​macchina nuova

UN PO' DI PRATICA

1​my brother is in Italy
2​his sister is beautiful
3​my wife is kind
4​our niece studies Italian
5​her grandchild is very young
6​my passport is in the suitcase
7​his suitcase is in the car

10​Mr Rossi, Your car is very fast !!
​

1. Dove lei (?) andata a domani afternoon (?)
2. Andiamo a la spiaggia, perche non venga (?) con noi?
3. (lui?) Fa la pasta ogni giorni (?) e faccio il sugo

Essi vengono a il teatro con loro bambini ma Maria da solo viene ?

is a bit tragic going through this alone

1. Devo prenotare il biglietti oggi se posso prenotare a domani?

It's not il is it, it's gli? Why can't I remember these things!

Oggi I will mostly compile a massive pm for Franca to mark at her leisure, penso.

Poor Alameda!

My top tip for general healthiness when you feel really blurgh:
Get berocca (which by the way is magical, and has zinc) and instead of dissolving it in water, dissolve it in a big glass of fresh orange juice for extra vit C. If you can't face a pint of berocca at breakfast time drink it with your dinner - multivitamins get absorbed best when had with the main meal of the day.

Grazie, am lapping up the sympathy

mi piace MOLTO berocca, is a miracle working substance - never thought of dissolving in oj (bit scared of the calories)
