Ciao, Grazie and Prego~
Feliciano uses a sprinkling of Italian words in his daily conversations with people. While most of it is understandable, perhaps there's a word that he said in his excitement that isn't easily translated back into English. So this is a glossary of Italian words that he uses that will increase as my own vocabulary gets better.
Buongiorno: Good morning, but used till 1pm (formal)
Buanaserra: Good afternoon/evening, used after 1pm (formal)
Buananotte: Good night (formal)
Arrivederci: Goodbye (formal)
Ciao: Hello / Goodbye (informal)
Ci vediamo: See you later
Pronto: Hello on the phone, like the Japanese "moshimoshi"
Mi chiamo: My name is
(Come) tu ti chiami: What is your name
Pomodoro / pomodori: Tomato / tomatoes
Spaghetti, farfelli, fetuccine, ravioli, etc: Different types of pasta
Ve/ Va benne / Molto benne: Va benne means "good", molto benne means "very good", and ve is a verbal tic North Italy has that's a short form of Va benne.
Grazie: Thank you
Prego: You're welcome
A Centro In the city centre, which is where he lives in Venice (Venezia)
Disclaimer: I'm not a proficient speaker in Italian. I'm just a beginner so my grammar and spelling will be off some time or another. I do not intend to offend any Italians/people who know Italian, and if I've done something wrong please let me know here! Grazie for your time and patience.
