A Toast to Community Spirit Winchester's Old Town district is shaking off the post-holiday blues with a spirited comeback. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael and Brady Cloven, Executive Director for Friends of Old Town, recently embarked on what they jokingly called "research"—a Friday afternoon bar crawl previewing Old Town on the Rocks, a revived cocktail competition set for January 16-18, 2026. The event marks the return of a beloved tradition that disappeared during COVID. After a five or six-year hiatus, Brady and his team approached the original organizers to revive the competition. "They said, cool, we'll give you the ownership of it. Do what you want with it," Brady recalls with a laugh.  A New Focus on Main Street This year's competition takes a more focused approach than its predecessor. Rather than spreading across the entire city, Old Town on the Rocks concentrates exclusively on the Old Town Walking Mall and Main Street district businesses. "We're the Main Street Program and our region and our scope is the Old Town District," Brady explains. While future years may expand to include establishments like Oak Stone or Crush, this inaugural revival keeps things tight and manageable. The strategy serves a dual purpose: showcasing the creativity of local bartenders while driving business during one of the slowest months of the year. "Everybody backs off from being out after the holidays," Brady notes, "but this is trying to push them through for a weekend and say, hey, there's still things to do down here." Stop One: Hideaway Cafe's Coffee Cocktail Mastery The duo begins their journey at Hideaway Cafe, where co-owner Greg Armstrong has transformed a coffee shop into an unexpected cocktail destination. Located in the big green building on the corner of Cork and Loudoun—the old Bargain Corner for longtime Winchester residents—Hideaway boasts a unique advantage: a full espresso bar alongside its liquor license. Greg's background reveals a passionate hobbyist turned professional. Years ago, he took a bartending course as a gift, but his instructor quickly realized Greg's extensive knowledge. "The guy who was teaching the course realized that he would go through what was in the text, and then turn to me and say, what do you know about it?" Greg remembers. "And I would talk for half an hour about whatever it was." The Long Winter's Night Manhattan For the competition, Greg crafted the Long Winter's Night Manhattan, a sophisticated twist on the classic Black Manhattan. Instead of traditional vermouth, he uses Amaro—an Italian botanical liqueur—then adds Licor 43 (Cuarenta y Tres), a Spanish cordial with 43 infused botanicals that brings vanilla and citrus notes. A touch of Amarena syrup rounds out the cherry flavors. "It's got really good flavor," Brady observes after his first sip, noting the lingering spice from the whiskey and botanicals. Janet agrees enthusiastically, remarking that the alcohol doesn't overpower the complex layers—a common pitfall in bourbon-forward drinks. Greg's bar operates on an unconventional schedule. Patrons can order cocktails from 9 AM until closing, though Greg admits morning orders tend toward Irish coffees and espresso martinis. The cafe closes Mondays for administrative work, opens 9-2 on Tuesdays, 9-5 Wednesday through Saturday, and 9-4 on Sundays. Special evening events extend hours to around 7 PM, all posted on their Facebook page. Stop Two: V2's Nerdy Indulgence Next, Janet and Brady head to V2, where GM/bar manager Courtney has prepared something entirely different. The restaurant, which has anchored Old Town for 23 years, recently expanded its beverage program and just secured an ABC license for its sister restaurant, Mangia Cucina Italiana. Courtney's creation, the Red Eye Mordor, draws inspiration from an unexpected source: the 25th anniversary re-release of Lord of the Rings, screening the same weekend as the competition. "I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, as well as my boyfriend," Courtney explains. "I kind of just wanted something that inspired me from the movie, plus to kind of nerd out with it." A Coffee-Based Journey to Middle Earth The cocktail combines coffee with a hint of spice, referencing Frodo's sleepless journey into the fiery realm of Mordor. Edible gold glitter symbolizes the One Ring, while red glitter on top adds visual drama. When Janet admits she's never seen Lord of the Rings, Brady looks genuinely shocked. "This drink is literally going to be my introduction to Lord of the Rings," she laughs. After tasting, Brady's eyes widen. "Oh my gosh, it's like a spiced hot chocolate," he exclaims. "It lingers a lot in a good way." Janet agrees, noting that even non-coffee drinkers would appreciate the balanced flavors. Courtney's creative process involves considerable trial and error—and drinking. While developing the Red Eye Mordor, she struggled to identify a missing ingredient, complicated by recovering from illness. "Two days I'm stewing on this," she recalls. "I finally figured it out. I'm not gonna say 'cause it's a secret ingredient, secret recipe." Beyond the competition, V2 offers an extensive menu featuring fresh pasta and a growing tequila collection. Their happy hour runs 4-6 PM Monday through Friday, with a special Saturday morning happy hour featuring dollar oysters. The restaurant operates 11:30 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday. Stop Three: Roma's Warm Surprise The final stop brings Janet and Brady to Roma, known primarily for pizza but hiding a sophisticated bar program. Chris, the bartender who created the competition entry, isn't present, but his Smooth Like Butta cocktail speaks for itself. This drink stands out as the only warm cocktail in the competition—a bold choice that initially makes Brady hesitant. "I'm not a huge fan of warm drinks," he admits. The cocktail features Elijah Craig Rye, house-infused apple brandy, house citrus shrub, and a touch of butter. Defying Expectations After the first sip, Brady's skepticism evaporates. "Oh, that is smooth like butta," he marvels. Janet, equally impressed, confesses her initial doubts: "I had my doubts, but all of my doubts have now been erased. This is amazing." The butter element proves particularly striking. "It even tastes like butter," Janet observes. "After you're done, you can feel it on your lips." Brady nods enthusiastically, calling the experience "insane." The warm cocktail's timing couldn't be better. While the preview happens on a mild 60-degree rainy day, the actual competition weekend will likely bring temperatures in the 30s or 40s—perfect weather for a warming drink. The Competition Framework Old Town on the Rocks features eight participating establishments: Hideaway Cafe, Roma, V2, Wine Room, TT Walls, The Half Note Lounge, Bistro Sojo, and Uno's (located under the George Washington Hotel). Each venue creates a unique cocktail using Elijah Craig bourbon, courtesy of sponsor Heaven Hill. The competition runs two parallel tracks. A panel of four judges—including Charlie Fish, one of the original Winchester on the Rocks organizers—will evaluate drinks using a standardized rubric. The winner receives a trophy provided by Elijah Craig. Simultaneously, fan voting occurs via QR codes at each location, determining the People's Choice winner. "I think it's a good way to have four judges who are all very interested in Old Town and live here, work here," Brady explains. However, Janet acknowledges that many restaurants value the popular vote even more than the judges' trophy. "They wanna know how many votes did they get as the most popular. That means a lot more to them sometimes." Heaven Hill Distillery and Elijah Craig stepped up as sponsors after Brady reached out following a suggestion from Caleb at Roma. "Just like that we did and they came and we had a conversation," Brady recalls. "I said, here's what we're thinking. They said, we'd love that idea." Beyond the Bourbon The event serves a larger mission for Winchester's Main Street Program. Brady pushes back against the perception that Old Town hibernates during winter months. "I don't think that Old Town goes into hibernation mode," he insists. "I think you just have to really look, and there are a ton of things that we have that can pull you indoors." He points to four museums within walking distance, an emerging arts district featuring Typewriter Studio and Polka Dot Pot, and the ongoing holiday market at ShenArts. "There is always something to do when it gets colder," Brady emphasizes. "You just still look a little harder, and we're hoping to push that forward." The timing also addresses a critical business challenge. January represents a financial lurch for small businesses—customers are waiting on tax returns, recovering from holiday spending, and generally reluctant to venture out. "It's still very important to support your small businesses," Brady urges. Even those who can't attend can help by sharing event information on social media. A Culinary Hub's Diversity Throughout their afternoon journey, Janet and Brady repeatedly note Old Town's remarkable diversity. "Everything is very unique down here," Janet observes. "You're not gonna walk up and down the mall or even on the ancillary parts and find exactly the same thing." The three cocktails they sample prove her point. From Hideaway's sophisticated Manhattan variation to V2's nerdy espresso martini to Roma's buttery warm concoction, each establishment brings distinct creativity to the same base spirit. "We've had a Manhattan, an espresso martini, and now a nice warm mock cider drink," Brady summarizes, still marveling at the variety. This diversity extends beyond beverages. V2 makes syrups in-house and infuses its own spirits. Courtney recently experimented with homemade limoncello for the group's new restaurant, Mangia, using V2 as her "guinea pig." Hideaway leverages its espresso equipment to create coffee cocktails other bars can't replicate. Roma operates Alesatian Brewery upstairs while serving creative cocktails downstairs. The Road Ahead As Janet and Brady wrap up their preview—admittedly feeling the effects of three bourbon drinks—they reflect on the challenge ahead. "We have eight different restaurants participating. We've only hit three," Brady notes with a laugh. "And at this rate, we may not hit more than... we may not hit. This may be the only three that we do." The bourbon requirement, while creating cohesion, presents its own challenge. "It's great because I love bourbon," Brady admits. "It's not great because when you're trying to drink eight bourbon drinks..." He trails off, closing one eye dramatically. Despite the research hazards, both hosts express genuine excitement for the competition's potential. The event represents more than just cocktails—it's about community resilience, creative expression, and proving that Old Town thrives year-round. For those planning to participate, Brady recommends spreading the experience across the full weekend rather than attempting all eight venues in one night. "You have plenty of opportunity to come in and try these drinks at all these different places," he suggests diplomatically. Raising the Bar Old Town on the Rocks ultimately celebrates what makes Winchester's downtown special: independent businesses run by passionate people who genuinely care about their craft. Greg's encyclopedic alcohol knowledge, Courtney's nerdy creativity, and Chris's willingness to experiment with warm butter cocktails all reflect a community that refuses to phone it in. As Janet becomes a newly minted VIP at Hideaway (complete with keychain proof), she embodies the event's spirit—locals discovering new dimensions of familiar places, supporting neighbors, and finding reasons to gather during the coldest, darkest months. "Just share it on Facebook," Brady urges those who can't attend. "You don't have to come out for Old Town on the Rocks. You can just share it, 'cause people may see it and want to go out." In the end, that's what community looks like: raising a glass together, even when it's cold outside. Old Town on the Rocks takes place January 16-18 throughout Old Town Winchester.

Stai imparando l'italiano e vuoi evitare di dire cose come "Io è fame" quando hai lo stomaco che brontola? Sei nel posto giusto! Questo test ti farà scoprire se riesci già a ordinare un caffè senza far alzare un sopracciglio al barista, o se rischi ancora di creare situazioni imbarazzanti. Spoiler: Alcune frasi sono corrette, altre... beh, meglio non dirle in giro! Trova tutti gli errori! I Verbi Italiani dal Livello Principiante al Livello Avanzato Come funziona? Per ogni frase, fermati un attimo e chiediti: "È corretta o no?", quindi scopri il tuo livello! Il tuo risultato: 0-6 punti: Principiante avventuroso - meglio ordinare al ristorante col dito sul menù! 7-14 punti: Intermedio promettente - inizi a capirci qualcosa, continua così! 15-20 punti: Avanzato impressionante - gli italiani ti scambiano per uno di loro! LIVELLO 1: SOPRAVVIVENZA IN ITALIA Esercizio 1 "Scusi, io è vegetariano. Nel menù c'è qualcosa senza carne?" ... AIUTO! ERRORE CRITICO! Cosa C'è Che Non Va? Al ristorante hai appena detto "io è vegetariano"... Il cameriere ti guarda perplesso! Il verbo "essere" alla prima persona singolare è "sono", non "è". Quella forma si usa per lui/lei. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Scusi, io sono vegetariano. Nel menù c'è qualcosa senza carne?" Trucco: Pensa "io SONO / tu SEI / lui È" Esercizio 2 "Ragazzi, ieri sera la pizza da Gino mi ha piaciuto moltissimo!" ... ERRORE DOPPIO! ATTENZIONE! Cosa è andato storto? Qui ci sono ben due errori! Il verbo "piacere" al passato prossimo vuole sempre l'ausiliare ESSERE, NON "avere". Il participio passato deve accordarsi con il soggetto grammaticale (la pizza = femminile singolare), quindi "piaciuta" non "piaciuto". VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Ragazzi, ieri sera la pizza da Gino mi è piaciuta moltissimo!" La formula per "piacere": ESSERE (coniugato) + PIACIUTO/A/I/E (accordato con la cosa che piace) Altri esempi corretti: Il film mi è piaciuto La canzone ti è piaciuta? I dolci ci sono piaciuti Le foto vi sono piaciute Esercizio 3 "Ciao Marco! Tu sei andare alla festa di Lucia sabato scorso?" ... ATTENZIONE! ALLARME ROSSO! Cosa È Andato Storto? Hai praticamente detto "tu sei andare" invece di "sei andato"! Con il passato prossimo, dopo l'ausiliare (essere/avere) ci vuole il participio passato, non l'infinito."Andare" diventa "andato/a". VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Ciao Marco! Tu sei andato alla festa di Lucia sabato scorso?" Attenzione: Con "andare" usiamo sempre l'ausiliare ESSERE! Esercizio 4 "La mia famiglia abita a Milano da dieci anni e ci troviamo benissimo!" ... BRAVISSIMO! ITALIANO AL TOP! Cosa Rende Questa Frase Perfetta? Hai centrato la struttura italiana per azioni che durano ancora!Quando qualcosa è iniziato nel passato e continua ora, usiamo il presente (abita) + "da" + tempo. Ricorda: "Da dieci anni" = l'azione continua ancora adesso! Esercizio 5 "Guarda quelle ragazze! Loro mangia il gelato davanti alla Fontana di Trevi." ... ERRORE DA PRINCIPIANTE! Dove Hai Sbagliato? "Loro mangia"? No no no! "Loro" è plurale, quindi il verbo deve essere "mangiano". "Mangia" lo usi solo per lui/lei (terza persona singolare). VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Guarda quelle ragazze! Loro mangiano il gelato davanti alla Fontana di Trevi." Bonus: In Italia è più comune dire "prendere un gelato", non "mangiare". Esercizio 6 "Stamattina io è comprato i biglietti per il concerto dei Måneskin!" ... DOPPIO ERRORE! CIOÈ? Due Problemi da Risolvere: 1) Hai detto "io è" invece di "io ho". 2) "Comprare" vuole l'ausiliare AVERE, non "essere"! VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Stamattina io ho comprato i biglietti per il concerto dei Måneskin!" Regola d'oro: I verbi che indicano un'azione (comprare, mangiare, bere, studiare) vanno quasi sempre con AVERE! Esercizio 7 "Wow! Francesca canta come un angelo ieri al karaoke!" ... CONFUSIONE TEMPORALE! Qual È il Problema? Hai usato il presente "canta" ma poi hai detto "ieri"! Quando parli di ieri, devi usare il passato prossimo: "ha cantato". Il presente serve per cose abituali o che succedono ora. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Wow! Francesca ha cantato come un angelo ieri al karaoke!" LIVELLO 2: TI STAI INTEGRANDO BENE! Esercizio 8 "A te interessi i film italiani? A me sì, molto!" ... ERRORE SUBDOLO! Cosa C'è Che Non Va? Verbi come "interessare", "piacere", "mancare", "servire" hanno una costruzione particolare in italiano! Il soggetto grammaticale NON è la persona, ma la cosa che piace o interessa. Nella frase "a te interessi" hai coniugato il verbo come se "tu" fosse il soggetto, ma in realtà il soggetto sono "i film" (plurale). VERSIONE CORRETTA: "A te interessano i film italiani? A me sì, molto!" La struttura corretta: Ti interessa la musica? Vi interessano i libri di storia? Regola d'oro: Con questi verbi, coniuga il verbo in base alla cosa che piace/interessa, non alla persona! Esercizio 9 "Eh, se io avrei più soldi, farei un viaggio in Costiera Amalfitana!" ... L'ERRORE PIÙ COMUNE ANCHE TRA GLI STUDENTI AVANZATI! Il Tranello del "SE": Mai, MAI usare il condizionale dopo "se"! È tentante perché in molte lingue si fa, ma in italiano è un errore grave. Dopo "se" ci vuole il CONGIUNTIVO IMPERFETTO, POI il condizionale. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Eh, se io avessi più soldi, farei un viaggio in Costiera Amalfitana!" VIETATO: Se + condizionaleCORRETTO: Se + congiuntivo Esercizio 10 "Stavo studiando i verbi irregolari quando improvvisamente mi ha chiamato la mia amica italiana per fare aperitivo." ... ECCELLENTE! MAESTRIA TEMPORALE! Cosa Hai Fatto di Giusto? Hai combinato perfettamente due azioni passate: Imperfetto "stavo studiando" = azione in corso, lo sfondo della scena Passato prossimo "ha chiamato" = azione improvvisa che interrompe In Sintesi: l'imperfetto è la scena, il passato prossimo è l'evento che accade! Esercizio 11 "Oh no! Siamo partiti la valigia in hotel e ora siamo già in aeroporto!" ... COSTRUZIONE IMPOSSIBILE! Dove Sta l'Assurdità? "Partire la valigia"? Il verbo "partire" significa andare via, non lasciare qualcosa! Se vuoi dire che hai dimenticato la valigia, devi usare "lasciare" o "dimenticare" (che vogliono AVERE come ausiliare). VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Oh no! Abbiamo lasciato la valigia in hotel e ora siamo già in aeroporto!" Esercizio 12 "Hai visto le chiavi della macchina? Sì, le ho visto sul tavolo stamattina." ... ERRORE NASCOSTO! SCOPRIAMOLO! Perché È Sbagliato (Anche Se Suona Bene)? Questo è un tranello per studenti avanzati! Quando usiamo i pronomi diretti (lo, la, li, le) prima del verbo al passato prossimo, il participio passato si accorda con il pronome. "Le" si riferisce alle chiavi (femminile plurale), quindi il participio deve essere "viste". VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Hai visto le chiavi della macchina? Sì, le ho viste sul tavolo stamattina." Confronta: "Ho visto le chiavi" (nessun accordo senza pronome) "Le ho viste" (accordo con il pronome "le") "L'ho vista" (la = singolare femminile) "Li ho visti" (li = plurale maschile) Esercizio 13 "Per passare l'esame di italiano, è necessario che tu fai tanti esercizi di grammatica." ... CONGIUNTIVO MANCANTE! Cosa Manca? Dopo espressioni come "è necessario che", "è importante che", "bisogna che", DEVI usare il congiuntivo, NON l'indicativo! È una regola ferrea in italiano. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Per passare l'esame di italiano, è necessario che tu faccia tanti esercizi di grammatica." Trigger words del congiuntivo: "È necessario/importante/giusto/possibile che..." Esercizio 14 "È sicuro che il prossimo weekend fa bel tempo e noi andremo al mare!" ... PERFETTO! SICUREZZA GRAMMATICALE! Perché È Giusto NON Usare il Congiuntivo? Ottima domanda! Quando esprimi certezza assoluta ("è sicuro che/so che/è chiaro che..."), devi usare l'indicativo.Il congiuntivo serve per dubbi, speranze, opinioni. Qui sei sicuro! Probabilmente hai visto le previsioni. La regola d'oro: CERTEZZA → Indicativo DUBBIO → Congiuntivo LIVELLO 3: SEI QUASI ITALIANO! Esercizio 15 "Pensavo che Luca fosse già arrivato alla stazione, ma poi ho scoperto che era in ritardo come sempre!" ... INCREDIBILE! CONCORDANZA DEI TEMPI PERFETTA! Cosa Hai Fatto di Straordinario? Hai usato il congiuntivo trapassato ("fosse arrivato") dopo un verbo al passato ("pensavo"). Questa è concordanza dei tempi da professionista!Il congiuntivo trapassato esprime un'azione che credevi fosse accaduta prima. Timeline mentale: Prima: Luca arriva (pensavi) Dopo: Tu pensi Realtà: Era in ritardo Formula avanzata: Pensavo/credevo/immaginavo + che + congiuntivo trapassato Esercizio 16 "Benché lui ha studiato il congiuntivo per settimane, continua a fare errori!" ... L'IRONIA! ERRORE SUL CONGIUNTIVO! Dov'è l'Ironia? Stai parlando del congiuntivo ma... hai dimenticato di usarlo! "Benché" è una congiunzione che richiede SEMPRE il congiuntivo. In questo caso, congiuntivo passato perché l'azione di studiare è terminata. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Benché lui abbia studiato il congiuntivo per settimane, continua a fare errori!" Parole-spia del congiuntivo: "benché, sebbene, nonostante, affinché, prima che..." Esercizio 17 "Se avessi accettato quel lavoro a Roma tre anni fa, ora vivrei nella Città Eterna!" ... FANTASTICO! PERIODO IPOTETICO DA MANUALE! Perché È Perfetto? Hai costruito un perfetto periodo ipotetico del quarto tipo (misto): Protasi: "Se avessi accettato" (congiuntivo trapassato) Apodosi: "vivrei" (condizionale presente)

This week's pick is the "long lost" second Duke Mitchell film Gone with the Pope, originally filmed in 1976 but not released until 2010. A plan to kidnap the Pope is easily pulled off with the intention to receive a dollar from every Catholic as ransom. There are many confusing things that happen before and after this. Mangia!

14 - Davide Shorty - Non Si Mangia Una Canzone (Matthew Dee Nu Funk Remix) by Dj Teo Verona Official

Composer Ken Allen shaped the soundscape of an entire Sierra era, from Space Quest to Kings Quest, and that unmistakable Sierra logo fanfare burned into every retro-gamer's brain. Now he's back with a full new soundtrack for SpaceVenture, and we go deep into how it all came together. In this episode, Ken walks through the craft behind his new score, the evolution from MT-32 to modern orchestral libraries, the stories behind iconic Sierra tracks, the surprising inspirations for SpaceVenture's music, and what it's like to reunite with the Two Guys from Andromeda after decades. Expect anecdotes, technical insight, nostalgia, and plenty of behind-the-scenes lore from one of the genre's defining composers. Mangia! Some corrections. - Beats Per Minute (not beats per second - that wouldbe crazy). - Composer for Silent Running was Peter Schickle, not Jerry Goldsmith. - Kazoo Orchestra is on the 2001 Theme and synth was used Blue Danube.

Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon Il PEGI è una merda. Punto. E' un sistema valutativo tanto idiota tanto quello dei voti a scuola. Dovrebbe aiutare gli acquirenti ad avere più consapevolezza di ciò che comprano ma poi il sito non lo guarda nessuno e in generale non si capisce un cazzo. E in più ci ritroviamo giochi come FIFA targati PEGI 3 che rischiano letteralmente di far fallire delle persone per quanto predatori sono. Poi vabbè basarsi sull'età è veramente scemo, perché come fai a valutare il livello di maturità di una persona? Finché dici per bambini o meno ci posso stare, neanch troppo, ma dividere 3 o 7 come se a FIFA ci giocasse chi ha 3 anni è proprio stupido. Non so quale sia la soluzione in realtà, sicuramente non può essere questa. Forse servirebbe più divulgazione, forse servirebbe iniziare a parlare di media nelle scuole visto e considerato che condizionano le nostre vite ormai dalla nascita. No avete ragione, meglio parlare di D'annunzio. Così si che crescono bene e da veri italiani: ladri, ignoranti e fascisti

Ti sei mai chiesto perché gli italiani dicono: "Ma che mi combini?" invece di "Ma che combini?"; "Mangia tutta la pasta, a mamma" invece di "Mangia tutta la pasta"Con questa guida imparerai finalmente a capire e usare il DATIVO ETICO, una struttura grammaticale colloquiale tipicamente italiana che renderà il tuo italiano molto più naturale e autentico. Il Dativo Etico in Italiano: cos'è e come funziona Cos'è il Dativo Etico? Il dativo etico è un pronome personale (mi, ti, ci, vi) che viene aggiunto a una frase NON per indicare chi riceve l'azione, ma per esprimere la partecipazione emotiva di chi parla o di chi ascolta. Esempio: "Ma che combini?" = domanda neutra "Ma che mi combini?" = domanda con coinvolgimento emotivo (sono preoccupato/a) Perché si Chiama "Dativo Etico"? DATIVO: Nella grammatica latina, il dativo era il caso usato per il complemento di termine (a chi? per chi?). In italiano, anche se non abbiamo più i casi latini, usiamo ancora questo termine per alcuni pronomi che indicano "a chi" o "per chi" avviene l'azione. ETICO: Dal greco "ethikos" (relativo al carattere, ai sentimenti), esprime proprio questo: un coinvolgimento emotivo, affettivo, psicologico. Non ha una funzione grammaticale vera e propria, ma una funzione emotiva! Ricorda: È come se aggiungessi un pezzettino di cuore alla frase! La Struttura Grammaticale Il dativo etico si forma usando questi pronomi atoni: PronomePersonaFunzioneEsempiomi1ª singolareEsprime la partecipazione emotiva di chi parlaNon mi sbagliare l'esame questa volta!ti2ª singolareCoinvolge l'interlocutore nell'azioneStavo camminando e indovina chi ti incontro?ci1ª pluraleEsprime la partecipazione emotiva di chi parla (plurale)Stacci bene!vi2ª pluraleCoinvolge gli interlocutori nell'azioneTua madre vi arriva domani? ATTENZIONE! Non esistono le forme "gli", "le" o "loro" per il dativo etico. Si usano solo questi quattro pronomi! Posizione del Pronome Modo VerbalePosizioneEsempioModi finiti (indicativo, congiuntivo, condizionale)Prima del verboChe mi combini?ImperativoDopo il verbo (unito)Mangiatemi tutto!InfinitoDopo il verbo (unito)Non farmi sciocchezze!GerundioDopo il verbo (unito)Studiandomi bene, otterrai buoni risultati Gli Usi Principali del Dativo Etico 1. Esprimere Preoccupazione o Interesse Affettivo Questo è l'uso più comune! Si usa per mostrare che chi parla è emotivamente coinvolto nell'azione. Esempi: "Non mi prendere freddo!" (una madre preoccupata per il figlio) "Studiatemi bene per l'esame!" (un professore che tiene ai suoi studenti) In questi casi, chi parla non riceve l'azione, ma esprime il proprio coinvolgimento emotivo. 2. Esprimere Sorpresa o Disapprovazione Il dativo etico si usa anche per esprimere stupore, meraviglia o disapprovazione: Esempi: "E adesso cosa mi hai inventato?" (cosa ti viene in mente?!) "Mi è diventato un ribelle!" (mio figlio è cambiato e io sono sorpreso) 3. Enfatizzare un Comando o una Richiesta Quando vuoi rendere un imperativo più forte o più affettuoso, aggiungi il dativo etico: Confronto: Senza dativo eticoCon dativo etico"Non prendere freddo!""Non prendermi freddo eh!" (più enfatico)"State attenti!""Statemi attenti in classe!" (più personale) 4. Esprimere Fastidio o Impazienza A volte si usa il dativo etico per esprimere irritazione: Esempi: "Non mi toccare niente!" (sono infastidito) "Che mi avete combinato?" (sono seccato) "Non mi fate rumore!" (sono impaziente) La Costruzione Affettuosa con "A Nonna", "A Mamma", "A Papà" Questa è una costruzione DOLCISSIMA e TIPICISSIMA dell'italiano colloquiale che confonde moltissimi stranieri! Avrai sicuramente sentito, specialmente dalle nonne italiane, frasi come: "Mangia, a nonna!" "Dormi, a mamma!" "Studia, a papà!" "Sta' buono, a nonno!" Cosa Significa Esattamente? Quando una nonna dice "Mangia, a nonna!", NON sta chiedendo al bambino di farla mangiare! Sta dicendo: "Mangia per far contenta la nonna" "Mangia, fallo per la nonna" "Mangia, così la nonna è felice" È un modo tenerissimo di esprimere che l'azione del bambino influenza emotivamente la nonna. È come dire: "Se tu mangi, io sono contenta. Se tu non mangi, io sono triste e preoccupata." La Struttura Formula: Imperativo/Verbo + virgola + "a" + nome familiareFraseSignificato"Dormi, a mamma!"Dormi per far stare tranquilla la mamma"Guarisci presto, a nonna!"Guarisci presto, così la nonna smette di preoccuparsi"Sta' attento, a papà!"Sta' attento, per far stare tranquillo il papà"Finisci i compiti, a zia!"Finisci i compiti, per rendere felice la zia"Non piangere, a nonno!"Non piangere, perché il nonno soffre a vederti così Perché gli Italiani (Specialmente i Nonni) lo Usano? RagioneSpiegazioneEsprimere affetto profondoÈ un modo per dire "Mi importa tantissimo di te e di quello che fai"Motivare con dolcezzaInvece di dare un ordine secco, si fa appello ai sentimenti del bambinoCreare un legame emotivoSi fa capire al bambino che le sue azioni hanno un impatto sui sentimenti della persona caraTradizione generazionaleÈ una formula che si tramanda di generazione in generazione, parte del linguaggio tipico dei nonni italiani Quando Si Usa? Questa costruzione si usa principalmente: In famiglia: specialmente con i bambini piccoli Da parte di persone anziane: nonne e nonni lo usano moltissimo! In situazioni molto affettuose: per esprimere tenerezza e preoccupazione Per incoraggiare o consolare: "Mangia, a nonna!" quando il bambino non ha appetito IMPORTANTE: Questa costruzione si usa quasi esclusivamente con: nonna/nonno, mamma/papà (anche se meno frequente), zia/zio (occasionalmente). NON si usa con amici, colleghi, o in situazioni formali. Sarebbe strano dire "Studia, al professore!" o "Lavora, al capo!". Questa è una formula riservata agli affetti familiari più stretti! Differenze Regionali RegioneFrequenza d'UsoCentro-Sud ItaliaUsatissima, parte del linguaggio quotidiano delle famiglieIsole (Sicilia, Sardegna)Molto comune, sentita come naturale e affettuosaNord ItaliaPresente, ma leggermente meno frequente Questa costruzione è ancora più comune nelle generazioni più anziane. I nonni italiani la usano tantissimo! Un Confronto Interessante TipoFraseTonoNeutro"Mangia la minestra"Ordine sempliceCon dativo etico standard"Mangiami la minestra"Io sono coinvolto emotivamenteCon "a nonna""Mangia, a nonna!"Fallo per me, per rendermi felice (il più dolce e affettuoso!) Differenze con Altri Pronomi È importante distinguere il dativo etico da altri usi dei pronomi. Vediamo alcune differenze fondamentali: Dativo Etico vs. Complemento di Termine TipoEsempioSpiegazioneTestComplemento di termine"Dammi il libro!"Il libro viene dato A ME, io lo ricevo"Dai il libro?" ✗ (manca l'informazione: a chi?)Dativo etico"Mangiami la pasta"Io non mangio, ma sono emotivamente coinvolto"Mangia la pasta" ✓ (ha senso, quindi è dativo etico) Come distinguerli? Se puoi togliere il pronome e la frase ha ancora senso logico completo, probabilmente è un dativo etico! Dativo Etico vs. Pronome Riflessivo TipoEsempioSpiegazioneRiflessivo"Mi lavo le mani"Io lavo le MIE maniDativo etico"Lavami le mani prima di mangiare!"Una mamma che dice al figlio di lavarsi le mani, con coinvolgimento emotivo Quando NON Usare il Dativo Etico SituazioneEsempio SBAGLIATOEsempio CORRETTOSituazioni molto formali"Presidente, mi ascolti attentamente""Presidente, ascolti attentamente"Testi scritti formaliDocumenti ufficiali, lettere formali, articoli scientifici con dativo eticoEvita completamente il dativo eticoCon persone sconosciute"Mi studi bene!" (a uno sconosciuto)"Studi bene!"Costruzione "a nonna/mamma" fuori famiglia"Lavora bene, al capo!"Non usare mai questa forma fuori dal contesto familiare! RICORDA: Quando la frase diventa ambigua, a volte aggiungere il pronome può creare confusione, quindi meglio essere chiari! Esempi Pratici per Esercitarti Analizza queste frasi e identifica se c'è un DATIVO ETICO (e di che tipo), oppure NO (e in quel caso, che funzione hanno i pronomi). Esempio 1: "Mi Hanno Rubato il Portafoglio!" Analisi: In questo caso "mi" è un complemento di termine: hanno rubato IL PORTAFOGLIO A ME. Io sono la persona a cui è stato rubato.Conclusione: NON è un dativo etico!Test: Se togliamo il "mi", la frase non ha senso: "Hanno rubato il portafoglio" (a chi? manca l'informazione essenziale). Esempio 2: "Non Mi Fare Sciocchezze!" Analisi: Chi parla non fa le sciocchezze, ma esprime preoccupazione per l'altra persona.Conclusione: DATIVO ETICO standard!Test: Se togliamo il "mi", la frase ha ancora senso: "Non fare sciocchezze!". Il "mi" aggiunge solo coinvolgimento emotivo. Esempio 3: "Dormi, a Mamma!" Analisi: La mamma non dorme, ma chiede al bambino di dormire per farla stare tranquilla.Conclusione: Costruzione affettuosa con "a mamma"!Significato: "Dormi, per far contenta la mamma" o "Dormi, così la mamma è serena". È tipicissima del linguaggio familiare, specialmente usata con i bambini! Esempio 4: "Studiatemi Bene Questa Lezione!" Analisi: L'insegnante non riceve lo studio, ma esprime il suo interesse e la sua preoccupazione affinché gli studenti studino bene.Conclusione: DATIVO ETICO standard!Test: Possiamo dire "Studiate bene questa lezione" e la frase ha senso completo. Esempio 5: "Mangia Tutta la Minestra, a Nonna!" Analisi: La nonna non mangia la minestra, ma sta chiedendo al nipotino di mangiarla per renderla felice.Conclusione: Costruzione dolcissima con "a nonna"!Significato: "Mangia tutta la minestra, così la nonna è contenta".

I've been happy with some of what is going on in this administration, and not so happy with some of it. This episode was mostly inspired by a truth post I saw this morning at the gym, it sent me off on a tangent. It might make the MAGA crowd a little angry with me, but what can I say. No one is above reproach. Plus thoughts on Chicago's financial ruin and the race to the bottom and the first episode with the new Aaron's weekly recipe segment. Mangia.

Inghilterra, 1973. Un giovane di vent'anni irrompe nel suo minuscolo appartamento londinese, sbattendo la porta dietro di sé. I suoi vestiti sono completamente intrisi di sangue e in una mano stringe un coltello sporco. Mentre sorseggia un caffè amaro, le sue mani tremano ancora per l'adrenalina. Non riesce a smettere di ripensare agli eventi della notte precedente. Ma questa sarà solo la prima di numerose vittime: tutti abusatori.

This week Paul played Sierra's black sheep, what some call the rite, or maybe right, of passage for the clinically obsessed adventure gamer... it's Codename: Iceman. He's gonna walk you through it so you don't have to play it, while switching vehemently between 'you should play it' and 'you absolutely should not'- it's quite a rollercoster of confused emotions and misguided angst.
