Earlier tonight I mentioned that as I watched your videos the word, vivacious came to mind. Because of how full of life you seem to be. Now you have taught me the meaning of a word in Italian that fits. Sei simpatica. ( I hope I spelled it right! LOL) Grazie mille.

I am so glad to have found at last an Italian word to describe me! Pantofolaio! And by the way, in Greek we have the same word for slippers. However, I won't go into the etymology of the word in this comment. Thank you once again Valentina, for a rather entertaining as well as useful video.

Excellent (although the best 'English' translation for 'contratempo' is probably 'contretemps'..😂😂😂)

I recognise some of the words in polish where we have a decent amount of cognates with Italian! For instance simpatico -> sympatyczny, except the word is translated differently by g translate, also pantofolaio -> pantoflarz 😎 There is a direct equivalent for word gattara as well.

Does gattara have a negative conotation? In english we use cat lady most often in a negative context

@ItalianTeacherValentina

6 ай бұрын

It definitely used to have a more negative connotation but in the past few decades, thanks to growing attention toward animals and the birth of many associations that take care of stray animals, the word has started to acquire a more neutral and factual meaning.

Contratempo, contretemps in French means delay

In my language, there's a word मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम Maryādā Purushòttam. In English, it is translated as most dignified man. But it is much deeper. It was actually used for a prince named Ram who was an incarnation of God. He was first introduced to the world around 7000 years ago by a book called Ramayana. But it's definitely not a fairy tail. It's our history. Ram actually existed.

Contrattempo had me thinking it was gonna mean “bad weather.” Contra means “against” in Latin, and I know tempo can mean “weather” in Italian, plus the example involved a delay at an airport. You could say it was the perfect storm, pun intended

So is additiira just used to indicate suprise at amount or a lot or can it be used for any type suprise?

@Valentina, My italian grandfather used to always says "Come stai - WOYO" lol .... he would always say "WO-YO" after asking "how are you?" , and I was never able to ask him what he meant before he died. Could you please help me? Is this "slang"?

I'm sorry you didn't have the chance to ask him... It's Neapolitan dialect: "uagliò" meaning "ragazzo" in Italian (boy, but also "guy/guys"). It's used as a colloquial way of addressing someone.

Unfortunately not. "My lawd" seems to be a variant of "My lord" which we do have in Italian (Oh Signore)."addirittura" can have several nuances of meaning (sarcasm, irony, disapprovement, disconcert..) that "Oh Signore/ Oh mio Dio" definitely don't have.
