Studi l'italiano da mesi, conosci la grammatica a memoria, sai coniugare anche i verbi irregolari… poi arrivi in Italia, ti siedi al bar, senti due ragazzi che chiacchierano e... non capisci quasi niente! Il motivo è semplice: nessun libro di testo ti insegna lo slang, quelle parole informali e vive che gli italiani usano davvero ogni giorno. Scopriamo insieme le 20 espressioni gergali per capire — e parlare — come un vero italiano. Impara Queste Espressioni e Smetti di Parlare come un Manuale Lo slang italiano è la chiave per uscire dal "robottino da libro di grammatica" e diventare davvero spontaneo. Le 20 parole che vedremo sono quelle che senti in continuazione nei film, nelle serie TV, nelle canzoni e nelle conversazioni di tutti i giorni. Vediamole una a una, divise in cinque gruppi. Le 5 Parole Jolly dello Slang Italiano Iniziamo con le parole "jolly", quelle che senti in ogni frase e che gli italiani usano come riempitivi naturali per parlare come un madrelingua. 1. Boh La regina indiscussa dello slang italiano: un'interiezione praticamente intraducibile con una sola parola. Significa "non lo so", "non ne ho idea", ma a seconda del tono esprime anche indifferenza, dubbio o rassegnazione. "A che ora apre il museo? – Boh, prova a guardare sul sito!" (= non lo so) "Ti è piaciuto il ristorante? – Mah, boh… niente di speciale." (= indifferenza) "Perché Marco è arrabbiato? – Boh! E che ne so io." (= rassegnazione) Curiosità: si accompagna quasi sempre al gesto delle spalle alzate e delle mani aperte. Lo puoi anche allungare ("booooh!") per enfasi. Lo usano proprio tutti, dai bambini ai nonni. 2. Tipo Letteralmente significa "genere, categoria". Ma nello slang fa due lavori: è un riempitivo, come il famigerato "like" inglese, oppure significa "circa, più o meno", spesso per introdurre un esempio. "Ci vediamo tipo alle otto." (= verso le otto) "Ero tipo sotto shock quando l'ho saputo!" "Mi va qualcosa di leggero, tipo un'insalata." "Un tipo" o "una tipa" indica anche genericamente "una persona". Ma occhio: come riempitivo è il classico tormentone dei più giovani. Usalo per suonare naturale, ma con misura. 3. Roba Parola informale tanto vaga quanto comodissima: significa "cosa, cose, oggetti, materiale" (in inglese "stuff"). È perfetta quando non vuoi, o non sai, chiamare qualcosa con precisione. "Raccogli la tua roba!" (= le tue cose) "Ho un sacco di roba da fare prima di stasera." "Togli questa roba dal tavolo, dobbiamo mangiare." Brilla nelle esclamazioni: "che roba!" per lo stupore, "roba da matti!" per qualcosa di assurdo. Ha origini germaniche: deriva da una parola che significava "bottino", la stessa da cui viene anche il verbo "rubare". 4. Un Sacco Significa "molto, moltissimo, tantissimo". L'immagine è chiarissima: un sacco bello pieno, cioè una grande quantità. Funziona con i verbi, con i nomi e perfino con gli aggettivi. "Mi sei mancato un sacco!" "C'era un sacco di gente alla festa." "Tuo fratello è un sacco simpatico." Fa parte di una bella famiglia di espressioni per dire "tanto", come "una marea di", "una cifra" e "un botto". Insomma, di modi per esagerare in italiano ne abbiamo… un sacco! 5. Anche No Un rifiuto netto e ironico: "no di sicuro", "col cavolo", "manco per sogno". Il bello è che usiamo "anche", che di solito serve ad aggiungere qualcosa, seguito da un secco "no". "Una corsetta domani alle sei di mattina? – Eh, anche no, grazie!" "Lavorare anche nel weekend? Ma anche no." "Pagare quindici euro per un cocktail? Anche no." Tutto sta nel tono: va detto con una certa calma sfrontata, magari con un sopracciglio alzato. Ha una parente strettissima: "anche basta!", che si usa quando qualcosa o qualcuno ci ha davvero stancati. Slang per Giudicare Cose e Persone Quattro parole per esprimere il tuo giudizio su qualcuno o qualcosa, perfette per esprimere entusiasmo in italiano in modo naturale. 6. Figata Sostantivo: una cosa fantastica, bellissima, super interessante (in inglese "a cool thing"). Perfetta per esprimere entusiasmo verso un oggetto, un posto o un'esperienza. "Che figata questo videogioco!" "Vivere in Giappone per un anno? Una figata pazzesca!" "Hanno aperto una pista di pattinaggio in centro: che figata!" Attenzione: "figata" descrive solo le cose, mai le persone. Per le persone c'è "figo/figa". In compenso "figata" è sempre educata e sicura: la puoi usare ovunque senza alcun imbarazzo. 7. Figo / Figa Aggettivo per descrivere persone (e cose) molto cool, in gamba, di tendenza, a volte attraenti: figo al maschile, figa al femminile. "Il tuo nuovo collega è davvero figo." "Che giacca figa!" "Sei stata fighissima a rispondergli così!" Attenzione importante: al femminile, "figa" è anche un termine volgare per indicare l'organo genitale femminile. Riferita a una donna può risultare ambigua o imbarazzante, a seconda del tono. Il trucco: per le cose belle usa "figata"; per dire che un uomo è figo nessun problema; con il femminile, un po' più di attenzione. Origine e Varianti Geografiche Niente a che vedere con il "fico" frutto! Secondo l'Accademia della Crusca nasce probabilmente come slang giovanile romano degli anni '70, da "ficaccio", una deformazione popolare di "efficace" (attestata addirittura in un sonetto di Belli del 1835!). Sul piano geografico, "figo" (con la g) è più tipico del Nord, mentre "fico" (con la c) è più tipico del Centro Italia (Roma, Toscana). 8. Sfigato / Sfigata Il contrario di figo, con due significati vicini: "sfortunato" oppure "perdente" (in inglese "loser"). È il contesto a dirti quale dei due intende chi parla. "Marco perde sempre il treno, gli si rompe tutto: è proprio sfigato!" (= sfortunato) "Smettila di fare lo sfigato e invitala a uscire!" "Sei rimasto a casa il sabato sera? Che sfigato!" (tra amici, scherzando) Deriva da "sfiga", che nello slang significa "sfortuna", da cui anche l'esclamazione "che sfiga!". È un po' offensiva: tra amici e in tono scherzoso va benissimo, ma evita di darla a uno sconosciuto. 9. Spaccare Letteralmente "rompere in due", ma nello slang significa "essere fortissimo, eccezionale, andare alla grande" (in inglese "to rock", "to kill it"). "Questa canzone spacca!" "Hai spaccato all'esame, bravissima!" "Il tuo nuovo taglio di capelli spacca davvero." Per esagerare ancora di più, "spaccare di brutto". Piccola precisazione: "spaccarsi" (riflessivo) significa invece "lavorare durissimo". Ma "spacca!" da solo è semplicemente il massimo dei complimenti. Stati d'Animo: tra Fastidio e Relax Cinque espressioni gergali per parlare di emozioni, fastidi e momenti di relax. Per altre formule simili, puoi consultare la guida sulle espressioni colloquiali quotidiane. 10. Che Palle Un grande classico del fastidio: significa "che noia", "che seccatura", "che rottura". Letteralmente "palle" sono i testicoli, quindi è un po' volgare, ma talmente diffusa che la sentirai ovunque. "Devo rifare tutto da capo, che palle!" "Piove di nuovo e avevo organizzato il picnic… che palle." "Domani riunione alle otto. Che due palle." "Rompere le palle" significa infastidire, mentre "avere le palle piene" vuol dire essere stufi. Tra amici è normalissima, ma evitala in contesti formali; le versioni più educate sono "che noia", "che barba", "che pizza". Per approfondire, c'è una guida dedicata sulle parole volgari in italiano. 11. Sclerare Significa "perdere la pazienza, dare di matto, esplodere per il nervoso" (in inglese "to freak out"). "Quando ho visto il conto, sono sclerato di brutto!" "Mia madre sclera se lascio la stanza in disordine." "Sto sclerando con questo computer che si blocca in continuazione!" Deriva, scherzosamente, dal termine medico "arteriosclerosi" (per via del decadimento mentale che la malattia può causare), ma nello slang non c'entra niente la medicina. C'è anche il sostantivo "sclero": "che sclero!" per una situazione stressante. È una parola piuttosto giovanile. 12. Rosicare Letteralmente "rosicchiare, mordere a piccoli pezzi", ma nello slang significa "rodersi dall'invidia o dalla rabbia, non accettare una sconfitta" (in inglese "to be salty"). "Ho preso trenta e lui rosica perché ne ha presi ventotto." "Hai perso e basta, dai, non rosicare!" "Quando ha vinto la mia squadra, gli avversari rosicavano di brutto." Chi rosica sempre è un "rosicone". Nasce dal dialetto romano, ma ormai la usa tutta Italia. È imparentata con l'espressione "rodersi il fegato": l'immagine è quella dell'invidia che ti rosicchia da dentro. 13. Scialla Significa "tranquillo, stai sereno, rilassati, non c'è problema" (in inglese "chill", "relax"). Un piccolo invito alla calma, perfetto per sdrammatizzare. "Scialla, abbiamo ancora un sacco di tempo!" "Hai sbagliato l'esame? Scialla, lo rifarai!" "Sono in ansia per il colloquio! – Ma scialla, sei preparatissimo." Sull'origine gli esperti si dividono. C'è chi la fa risalire all'arabo "inshallah" ("se Dio vuole"), arrivato forse tramite le parlate liguri e il romanesco, e chi al verbo italiano "scialare" (godersela), dal latino "exhalare". In ogni caso è esplosa in tutta Italia nel 2011 grazie al film Scialla! di Francesco Bruni. 14. Daje Versione romana di "dai", rafforzata: "forza!", "andiamo!", "così si fa!" (in inglese "come on!", "let's go!"). Un grido di incoraggiamento ed entusiasmo. Per scoprire altre espressioni regionali italiane, c'è una guida dedicata. "Daje, ce la puoi fare!" "Pizza stasera? – Daje!" "Daje Roma, daje!" (allo stadio) Si pronuncia "dàie", con la "j" che si legge come una "i" lunga, mai all'inglese! È l'inno della romanità, legatissimo alla Roma e a campioni come Totti,...

The ASX 200 put in another solid performance, rising 91 points to 9039, as iron ore results cheered the resource sector and industrials continued to push higher.

S. 4 Ep. 38 - Come nasce una relazione tossica? Davvero tutto inizia con il controllo… oppure il controllo arriva molto prima, nascosto dietro parole che sembrano amore? In questa puntata non parleremo della vittima. Entreremo, per qualche minuto, nella mente di chi manipola. Scopriremo perché il controllo non comincia con la violenza, ma con il dubbio. Perché un manipolatore non cerca soltanto di decidere per l'altro: cerca di fargli perdere fiducia nelle proprie emozioni, nelle proprie percezioni e, alla fine, in se stesso. Parleremo di senso di colpa, di gaslighting, di isolamento emotivo e di quella sottile perdita di identità che può avvenire senza che ce ne accorgiamo. Ma parleremo anche di responsabilità. Perché comprendere le ferite di una persona non significa giustificare i suoi comportamenti. E perché una relazione sana non nasce dal bisogno di controllare, ma dal coraggio di fidarsi. Alla fine della puntata troverai un esercizio di consapevolezza per osservare le tue relazioni con occhi nuovi e iniziare a distinguere ciò che ti fa crescere da ciò che, lentamente, ti restringe. Forse la domanda più importante non è: “Sto vivendo una relazione tossica?” Ma questa: “Da quando amo questa persona… mi sento più libero di essere me stesso?”

Iris Ident pôsobí pod dohľadom Ministerstva dopravy SR ako technická služba kontroly originality, pričom vyvíja softvér a spravuje Register prevádzkových záznamov vozidiel (RPZV).Podľa projektovej manažérky a analytičky spoločnosti Nikoly Trebulovej siaha história spoločnosti do hlbokej minulosti – už v roku 1995 napríklad vytvorila automatizovaný systém na kontrolu pohybu vozidiel na hraničných priechodoch.Kontrola originality nie je len byrokraciaNa Slovensku sa ročne vykoná zhruba 90- až 100-tisíc kontrol originality (KO), a to prevažne pri dovezených vozidlách, no nevyhnutná je napríklad aj pri zmene farby auta Mnohí motoristi vnímajú túto povinnosť ako dodatočnú byrokraciu a poplatok, avšak Trebulová upozorňuje na jej opodstatnenosť: „Existujú vozidlá, ktoré sú vyhodnotené stupňom 3 (nevyhovel) a odsúvajú sa na skúmanie políciou. Tento systém preukázateľne znižuje cieľovú destináciu podvodníkov na Slovensko.“ Kontrola samotná je nedeštruktívna, overujú sa pri nej nielen doklady, ale aj neoprávnené zásahy do konštrukcie. Ak sa zistí podozrenie, auto sa zadrží a detailné skúmanie preberá polícia.Unikátne prepojenia a dáta, ktoré tvoria ODO-PassNajznámejším výstupom pre bežného kupujúceho je ODO-Pass. Ide o výpis z registra RPZV, ktorý má referenčný charakter, právnu váhu a je použiteľný aj v súdnych sporoch. Tento register čerpá dáta od širokej škály subjektov – od staníc technickej a emisnej kontroly, cez poisťovne, leasingové spoločnosti až po inzertné portály. Slovensko je navyše napojené na medzinárodné informačné systémy ako Eucaris (moduly Mileage a AVIS) a získava dáta z oficiálnych autorít z USA. Prednedávnom sa podarilo získať aj dlho očakávané prístupy k dôležitej histórii nemeckých vozidiel.Kuriózne podvody z praxe: Ako oklamať STK čiernou páskou?Podvody sú s príchodom moderných technológií síce zložitejšie a drahšie, no stále existujú. Nikola Trebulová v podcaste spomenula pobavujúci, no zároveň odstrašujúci prípad z Bratislavy. Išlo o Škodu Octavia využívanú ako taxík, ktorá mala graf vývoja kilometrov veľmi "zubatý". Analytici detailným skúmaním zistili extrémne primitívny, no účinný podvod: „Pán iba prelepil posledné číslo na odometri čiernou páskou. To auto nemalo najazdené 50 000, ale 500 000 kilometrov,“ uviedla Trebulová, pričom toto vozidlo vďaka páske opakovane prechádzalo kontrolami bez toho, aby si to niekto na prvý pohľad všimol.Budúcnosť patrí elektromobilom a tvrdšej ochrane spotrebiteľaS narastajúcim podielom elektromobilov vzniká nová výzva – zistenie degradácie batérie. „Elektromobily nebudú predajné bez toho, aby tam bolo vlastne to zdravie baterky uvedené,“ hovorí Trebulová. Iris Ident sa preto spojil s lídrami v oblasti diagnostiky a plánuje certifikáty o zdraví batérie integrovať priamo do svojich systémov a reportov pre širšie komerčné využitie.Výrazný krok vpred by mala čoskoro priniesť aj nová slovenská legislatíva. Pripravuje sa zákon, ktorý stanoví, že ak kupujúci odhalí manipuláciu s odometrom a súčasťou predaja nebol výpis z registra prevádzkových záznamov (ODO-Pass), bude môcť úplne odstúpiť od kúpnej zmluvy. Stočené kilometre sú totiž na vozidle považované za neodstrániteľnú vadu.Vypočujte si celý rozhovor, dozviete sa viac o zákulí spoločnosti IRIS IDENT, o prípadoch z praxe aj o tom, aké nové taktiky používajú moderní podvodníci pri dovoze áut.

The ASX 200 fell 67 points to 8,772, leaving the market down around 25 points for the week. Once again, we saw money flowing out of resources, industrials and the technology sector, and back into the relative safety of the banking sector. The Big Bank Basket rose to $288.03 (+1.2%). CBA rose 1.0% and NAB gained 1.5%, while insurers also benefited from higher bond yields, with QBE up 1.4%. MQG continued to push higher following the CEO retirement announcement, but other financials slipped, with HUB down 3.1% and IFT falling 1.2%.

The technology sector was once again battered and bruised, with REA down 3.7%, XRO falling 4.5%, and WTC also hit hard.Healthcare was no refuge either, with CSL down 1.3% and RMD falling 0.4%.Resources were not spared, with BHP down 2.9% and RIO off 1.7%. Gold miners were once again under pressure as the bullion price looked to be testing US$4,000 an ounce yet again. NST fell 3.9% and EVN dropped 2.4% Lithium stocks were also depressed, with LTR falling hard and PLS down 2.1%. Rare earth and copper stocks were also in the doghouse, while uranium stocks continued to slide.Energy stocks were one of the brighter spots, with both WDS and STO firmer, while KAR enjoyed a good day following a broker upgrade.Corporate News, COH edged higher after confirming it would not be subject to the new US tariffs. ASX fell after announcing the retirement of its CFO. There was nothing of note on the local economic front. The US tariff saga continues, with Australia hit by 12.5% tariffs on products linked to alleged "forced labour" issues.Asian markets were weaker, Nikkei 225 down 2.9%, HK down 1.4% and China off 1.3% - Korea down 6.0%.

The ASX 200 rose 16 points to 8,839 (+0.2%) after a strong start was derailed by better-than-expected jobs data.Banks were firm, with CBA climbing 0.4% and the Big Bank Basket up to $284.71 Elsewhere, financials eased back following the news from MQG that CEO Shemara Wikramanayake will step down in November to be replaced by Greg Ward. The stock fell 0.5% on the news. We also saw losses in the insurance sector, with QBE down 1.1% and SUN falling 1.9%.

The ASX 200 closed up 30 points to 8823 (0.3%), with resources back in favour and the gold sector shining. It seemed as though defensive stocks were sold to fund buying in the likes of BHP, which rose 2.5%, and RIO, up 2.5%. The gold miners had a good day, with NST rallying 3.5% and EVN up 4.3%, alongside solid gains across the sector.

Po pričakovanju je Olimpija sezono začela s porazom na mestnem »derbiju«, tako da je tokratno zasedanje posvečeno predvsem tej tekmi in vtisu, ki so ga pustili novinci. Pogovarjali smo se tudi o vrnitvi svetega Agustina in predstavitvi novih (skoraj retro) dresov.Ker smo snemali v press centru štadiona Stožice takoj po tekmi, so nas prekmalu pregnali, tako da je podkast krajši kot bi moral biti. Za to se opravičujemo, posredovala je višja sila imenovana »sitna varnostnica«. Da bi malo podkrepili podhranjeno minutažo, smo vključili še izjavi trenerja Brečka in rezervista Bresta, na koncu pa dodali še kratek kolaž preteklih izjav, ki lepo ponazarjajo stanje duha v klubu in okoli njega.

The ASX 200 drifted around to close down 5 points at 8,791, as the banks paused after last week's rise and resources came back into focus. US futures sliding lower sapped early enthusiasm.The Big Bank Basket was flat at $283.68 (-0.7%) with MQG falling 0.8% and NWL down 2.2%. Insurers were slightly firmer, with QBE up 1.8% and MPL rising 0.6%, although REITs eased, with SGP down 1.0% and GMG off 0.9%. Industrials were mixed again, with defensives such as the supermarkets slightly firmer, along with TLS and REA, which continued to find some friends. Retail was also mixed, with WES up 0.2%, while others failed to keep pace.In the tech space, selling continued, with XRO down 2.1% and WTC off 3.6%, although there were buyers in MAQ.Resources were mixed. BHP steadied, RIO slipped 1.9%, lithium stocks remained depressed, and the gold sector bounced back from earlier losses, with WGX up 2.1% and WAF rising 2.6%. S32 had a good day, up 4.6%, after beating quarterly guidance.Oil and gas stocks were firmer as crude prices continued to push higher, with WDS up 1.4% alongside STO. Coal stocks also edged higher, with WHC up 2.7%, while uranium stocks posted modest gains.It was a relatively quiet day on the corporate front. PPT rejected the latest proposal from EQT, while CEH surged 15.2% on plans to develop its Queensland site. We also saw interim chairman of WJL spend $1 million buying shares, lifting his stake to around 5%, or approximately 24.5 million shares.

Es ist eine Liebeserklärung an Großbritannien, die genauso vielschichtig und widersprüchlich ist wie das Land selbst: Dear Britain – Auf der Suche nach der Seele Großbritanniens von der deutschen Journalistin Annette Dittert. Im Interview mit Spotlights Chefredakteurin Inez Sharp spricht die langjährige Auslandskorrespondentin darüber, wie sich ihre Wahlheimat seit dem Brexit-Referendum verändert – und wie sehr sie die Rolle der Monarchie überrascht hat.  Dittert lebt in London und, während einige britische Eigenarten sie in den Wahnsinn treiben, hat sie die englische Sprache lieben gelernt – gerade auch wegen ihres reichen Wortschatzes.  Apropos Wortschatz: Die englischsprachige Welt hat das »Stoßlüften« für sich entdeckt – und eine wunderbare Übersetzung dafür geschaffen.

The banks gave up ground, with CBA down 0.8% and WBC falling 0.2%. The Big Bank Basket fell to $284.25 (-0.5%) with a late rally helping.

MP1 had another horrible session, down 8.5%, while AI-related stocks were sold heavily. EIQ fell 5.7% and WBT tumbled nearly 10.5%. In fact, anything with a Vegas AI connection was under pressure today. Resources were once again the weak link. BHP continued to slide following its quarterly result, falling 2.7%. RIO also eased 2.4%, while FMG held up, but only just. Lithium stocks were once again under pressure, with PLS down 3.1% and MIN falling 2.6%. Gold miners also suffered despite bullion prices rising in Asian trade, with NST and EVN both down over 4%. Oil and gas stocks bucked the trend, with WDS up 3.3% and STO gaining 1.9%, although coal stocks failed to fire.There was little of note on the corporate front. ZIP fell 5.1% after announcing it would exit its New Zealand business. PRU delivered a stronger-than-expected quarterly update. SKC climbed after announcing the sale of investment properties in Auckland. COL walked away from its proposed acquisition of Greencross from TPG Capital, while RRL fell 8.4% after issuing a softer FY27 outlook.In economic news, Westpac Chief Economist Luci Ellis warned that the current AI boom could face a correction if commercial returns fail to justify the lofty valuations.Asian markets were slammed, Nikkei 225 down 4.6%, HK down 2.3% and China down 3.9% - Korea closed for a holiday.US futures down - Dow down 403 and Nasdaq down 465.

Irene ha 30 anni e vive a Firenze, dove suona e insegna violino. Cresce a Varese e fin da piccola sogna una casa più grande di quella in cui vive, ma quel desiderio non diventa mai una bussola per le sue scelte. A cinque anni inizia a suonare il violino, e per tutta l'adolescenza la musica resta una promessa intatta. È solo lasciando Varese, e trasformando quella passione in un percorso di studio e poi in una professione, che Irene si scontra con la vera vita del musicista.Quella vita, Irene la incontra a Firenze, dove si trasferisce per studiare violino alla Scuola di Musica di Fiesole. Oggi in quella scuola insegna con un contratto a tempo indeterminato. A essere stabile, però, è solo il contratto. Il compenso orario si aggira intorno ai 20 euro lordi; il resto arriva dalle orchestre, con contratti di prestazione occasionale e pagamenti che possono richiedere mesi. «Sto ancora aspettando i soldi di concerti fatti a novembre del 2025». Sommando insegnamento e concerti, Irene arriva a guadagnare tra i mille e i milleduecento euro al mese: una cifra che non le garantisce ancora una piena autonomia, ma che non si allontana troppo dalla norma di un settore in cui, secondo l'Inps, nel 2023 il reddito medio annuo dei musicisti era di circa 7.215 euro, poco più di 600 euro al mese. Così, l'indipendenza che a vent'anni sembrava il traguardo, a trenta è ancora un punto all'orizzonte.A complicare le cose c'è il fatto che la sua professione continua a chiedere investimenti anche dopo gli studi. Corsi di perfezionamento, insegnanti, preparazione fisica e fisioterapia restano quasi sempre a carico dei musicisti. E quando un'infiammazione o un dolore costringono a rinunciare a un concerto, salta anche il compenso.Per arrivare fin qui, i genitori di Irene hanno investito nella sua formazione e, quando è arrivato il momento, le hanno comprato anche un violino professionale da diecimila euro. Non le chiederebbero mai di restituire quei soldi. Eppure Irene sente che quell'investimento debba produrre qualcosa: non necessariamente un guadagno, ma almeno la prova che la strada scelta può darle una vita serena e una sicurezza economica. «Hanno fatto questo investimento, e in qualche modo deve dare dei frutti».

Bentornati e bentornate nel podcast di Italiano Sì! Le ultime parole famose. Cosa significa? Non è difficile da immaginare. Quando diciamo una cosa e subito dopo avviene il contrario di questa cosa o ciò che speravamo non succedesse, succede, queste sono le ultime parole famose. Quindi, per esempio, io nell'ultimo episodio vi ho detto: "Ah, che bello, qui da me non fa caldo!" L'unica città in tutta l'Europa centrale, meridionale in cui non fa caldo... e infatti vedi... le ultime parole famose perché neanche tre giorni dopo è arrivata anche da me l'ondata di caldo.

Na svetovnem nogometnem prvenstvu so že znane tri četrtine četrtfinalistov. Slovenska košarkarska reprezentanca je v Stožicah končala uvodni del kvalifikacij za svetovno prvenstvo z dvobojem proti Švedski, na kolesarski dirki po Franciji pa se dogajanje iz dneva v dan stopnjuje.

Spričevalo poletnega prestopnega roka: Za zdaj dobra dvojka. Bo do konca avgusta petica? Poletni prestopni rok je v polnem teku, v Stožicah pa nastaja nova Cedevita Olimpija. Robert in Žiga sva znova staknila glave, malo analizirala, malo modrovala ter preverila, kako za zdaj izgleda sestavljanje ekipe. Če bi danes delili spričevala, bi kadrovanje za zdaj dobilo solidno dvojko - popravca sicer ni, prostora za višjo oceno pa je veliko. Kje so zadetki, kje ostajajo vprašaji in kaj bi bilo treba do začetka sezone še dopisati v redovalnico? O tem in še marsičem v novi epizodi. Prisluhnite!

Kolesarska karavana je danes na tretji etapi dirke po Franciji vozila v Pirenejih. Slovenske košarkarje v večeru v Stožicah čaka zadnja tekma prvega dela kvalifikacij za svetovno prvenstvo, ki bo prihodnje leto v Katarju.

I verbi irregolari italiani spaventano molti studenti, ma in realtà sono i verbi più usati nella conversazione quotidiana. Per questo motivo, conoscerli bene è il segreto per parlare un italiano naturale e fluente. In questo articolo vedremo insieme la coniugazione completa di 23 verbi irregolari fondamentali al presente indicativo e al passato prossimo, con tante curiosità, esempi pratici e piccoli trucchi per ricordarli. 23 Verbi Irregolari = 50% di Italiano I verbi irregolari sono quei verbi che non seguono il modello standard di coniugazione delle tre coniugazioni italiane (-are, -ere, -ire). La loro radice cambia, e a volte anche la desinenza diventa imprevedibile. La buona notizia? La maggior parte di questi verbi appartiene al vocabolario di base: una volta imparati, li userai costantemente. Vediamoli ora uno per uno, con la coniugazione al presente, l'ausiliare giusto al passato prossimo (essere o avere) e il participio passato corretto. I Verbi Ausiliari: Essere e Avere 1. Essere Cominciamo dal verbo Essere, il primo fra tutti per importanza e che usiamo per parlare dell'identità ("Io sono Graziana"), della professione ("Lei è insegnante"), della provenienza ("Tu sei spagnolo?"), dello stato d'animo ("Siamo felici!") e tantissimo altro. È anche il verbo ausiliare per eccellenza nei tempi composti. PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiosonosono stato/atuseisei stato/alui/leièè stato/anoisiamosiamo stati/evoisietesiete stati/elorosonosono stati/e Attenzione all'accento: è vs e Mi raccomando: è (verbo) ha l'accento grave e si scrive in modo diverso da e (congiunzione). Esempio: "Marco è italiano e parla italiano". È un errore piccolo ma molto comune anche tra gli italiani, soprattutto quando scrivono velocemente sui social. Curiosità: il participio passato di essere è "stato", lo stesso del verbo stare. Vuoi sapere quando usare l'uno o l'altro? Dai un'occhiata alla guida dedicata su essere vs stare. 2. Avere L'altro grande verbo ausiliare dell'italiano. La H all'inizio non si pronuncia, ma si scrive sempre! È fondamentale per non confondere ho (verbo) con o (congiunzione), hai con ai (preposizione articolata), o hanno con anno (l'unità di tempo). Sembrano dettagli, ma fanno la differenza. PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiohoho avutotuhaihai avutolui/leihaha avutonoiabbiamoabbiamo avutovoiaveteavete avutolorohannohanno avuto Espressioni con "Avere" In italiano, avere si usa anche in tantissime espressioni dove altre lingue userebbero essere. Per esempio: "ho fame", "ho sete", "ho freddo", "ho caldo", "ho 30 anni", "ho ragione", "ho paura", "ho un mal di testa terribile".Quindi non dire mai "sono fame" o "sono 30 anni"! Verbi di Movimento: Andare, Stare, Venire, Uscire, Nascere 3. Andare PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiovadosono andato/atuvaisei andato/alui/leivaè andato/anoiandiamosiamo andati/evoiandatesiete andati/elorovannosono andati/e Curiosità: il presente indicativo in italiano è un tempo verbale "multiuso". Lo usiamo per parlare del presente, ma anche del futuro. Basta aggiungere un'indicazione temporale: "Domani vado al cinema". Andare si usa in tantissime espressioni quotidiane: "andare a piedi", "andare in macchina", "andare al lavoro", "andare a scuola". E poi c'è la classica domanda italiana: "Come va?". Una conversazione tipica al bar in Italia inizia praticamente sempre così! 4. Stare PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiostosono stato/atustaisei stato/alui/leistaè stato/anoistiamosiamo stati/evoistatesiete stati/elorostannosono stati/e Stare è un verbo che gli stranieri spesso confondono con essere, ma in italiano hanno usi diversi! Stare lo usiamo per indicare uno stato di salute ("Come stai? Sto bene"), una posizione o permanenza in un luogo ("Sto a casa di mia sorella per il weekend"), oppure in espressioni come "stare zitto", "stare attento", "stare calmo". C'è anche la forma "stare + gerundio" che è importantissima per parlare di azioni in corso: "Sto mangiando", "Stiamo studiando italiano". 5. Venire PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiovengosono venuto/atuvienisei venuto/alui/leivieneè venuto/anoiveniamosiamo venuti/evoivenitesiete venuti/elorovengonosono venuti/e Attenzione a non confondere venire con andare! Venire indica un movimento verso chi parla, mentre andare indica un movimento verso un altro luogo. Per approfondire, leggi la guida su andare vs venire. Venire lo usiamo anche in espressioni come "venire in mente" ("Mi è venuta in mente una cosa"), "venire voglia" ("Mi viene voglia di gelato"), "venire bene/male" (parlando di una foto o una ricetta). 6. Uscire PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoioescosono uscito/atuescisei uscito/alui/leiesceè uscito/anoiusciamosiamo usciti/evoiuscitesiete usciti/eloroesconosono usciti/e Curiosità: la "u" che diventa "e" Nota che alla prima, seconda, terza persona singolare e alla terza plurale, la "u" diventa "e". Strano, vero? Ma è una caratteristica di alcuni verbi irregolari italiani. Uscire ha tanti significati: può significare "andare fuori di casa" ("Esco di casa alle 8"), ma anche "frequentare qualcuno romanticamente" ("Sto uscendo con Marco da tre mesi"), oppure "essere pubblicato" ("È uscito un nuovo libro di Ferrante"). 7. Nascere PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoionascosono nato/atunascisei nato/alui/leinasceè nato/anoinasciamosiamo nati/evoinascetesiete nati/eloronasconosono nati/e Le preposizioni con "nascere" In italiano si dice "sono nato A" + città (a Roma, a Milano, a Napoli) e "sono nato IN" + regione o paese (in Toscana, in Italia, in Spagna). Una piccola eccezione: con le isole grandi si usa "in" (in Sicilia, in Sardegna), ma con le isole piccole si usa "a" (a Capri, a Ischia).Ad esempio: "Sono nata a Bari, in Puglia, in Italia". I Verbi Modali: Dovere, Potere, Volere I verbi modali (dovere, potere, volere) sono particolari perché sono sempre seguiti da un altro verbo all'infinito. Esprimono obbligo, possibilità o volontà. Sono fondamentali per comunicare in italiano, ma nascondono diverse insidie! 8. Dovere PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiodevoho dovutotudevihai dovutolui/leideveha dovutonoidobbiamoabbiamo dovutovoidoveteavete dovutolorodevonohanno dovuto Dovere esprime un obbligo o una necessità: "Devo studiare per l'esame", "Dobbiamo andare al lavoro". Può essere anche un sostantivo che significa "obbligo, responsabilità", ma soprattutto è il verbo che usiamo per parlare di debiti: "Ti devo 20 euro" significa "ho un debito di 20 euro con te". Quale ausiliare al passato prossimo? Quando dovere è seguito da un verbo che richiede essere come ausiliare, la regola tradizionale dice che bisogna usare essere. Quindi: "Sono dovuto andare al lavoro" è la forma più corretta secondo la grammatica. Nel parlato si sente spesso anche "Ho dovuto andare al lavoro": entrambe sono accettate, ma la prima è quella consigliata. 9. Potere PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiopossoho potutotupuoihai potutolui/leipuòha potutonoipossiamoabbiamo potutovoipoteteavete potutoloropossonohanno potuto Attenzione all'accento: "può" si scrive con l'accento! È una di quelle piccole regole che fanno la differenza tra uno scritto da principiante e uno da esperto. Potere esprime la possibilità o il permesso: "Posso entrare?" (chiedo permesso), "Possiamo andare al cinema?" (suggerisco una possibilità). È utilissimo per le richieste cortesi: invece di dire "Mi dai un caffè?" è più educato dire "Mi puoi dare un caffè?". 10. Volere PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiovoglioho volutotuvuoihai volutolui/leivuoleha volutonoivogliamoabbiamo volutovoivoleteavete volutolorovoglionohanno voluto Attenzione: in italiano dire semplicemente "voglio" senza altre formule può sembrare un po' brusco! Per essere educati, soprattutto al ristorante o al bar, è meglio usare il condizionale "vorrei" ("Vorrei un caffè, per favore") oppure aggiungere "per favore". Volere si usa anche in espressioni come "voler bene" ("Ti voglio bene" indica un affetto non romantico, e si usa con familiari e amici). E poi c'è "volerci", una forma derivata che si usa per esprimere il tempo o la quantità necessaria: per scoprire la differenza con metterci, leggi la guida su volerci e metterci. Sapere: il Verbo della Conoscenza 11. Sapere PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiosoho saputotusaihai saputolui/leisaha saputonoisappiamoabbiamo saputovoisapeteavete saputolorosannohanno saputo Qui c'è un dilemma classico per gli studenti: sapere o conoscere? Entrambi si traducono spesso con "to know", ma in italiano si usano in modo diverso! Sapere si usa per fatti, informazioni e abilità ("So parlare italiano", "So che Roma è la capitale"). Conoscere si usa per persone, luoghi e cose con cui abbiamo familiarità ("Conosco Roma", "Conosco Marco"). Per approfondire, leggi la guida su potere, riuscire, sapere, conoscere. Curiosità: "sapere di" significa anche "avere il sapore o l'odore di qualcosa". Per esempio: "Questa pizza sa di formaggio", "Il vestito sa di fumo". Piccola sfumatura interessante: "ho saputo" al passato prossimo spesso significa "sono venuto a conoscenza di", cioè "ho scoperto". Esempio: "Ieri ho saputo che Marco si è sposato!". Verbi di Azione Quotidiana: Dare, Dire, Bere 12. Dare PersonaPresentePassato Prossimoiodoho datotudaihai datolui/leidàha datonoidiamoabbiamo datovoidateavete datolorodannohanno dato Attenzione: dà vs da La terza persona singolare "dà" si scrive con l'accento grave! Perché? Per non confonderla con la preposizione semplice "da". Quindi: "Maria dà un libro a Luigi" (verbo) vs "Vengo da Roma" (preposizione). Dare è un verbo super versatile in italiano. Lo usiamo in espressioni come "dare del tu/del lei" (per parlare in modo informale o formale), "dare una mano" (= aiutare), "dare fastidio" (= disturbare), "dare un esame" (= sostenere un esame all'università)....

Welcome, once again, to my UnMind podcast, also published on Substack, and as my Dharma Byte in the newsletter of the Silent Thunder Order (visit www.STOrder.org — STO). Please let me know if there is a subject you would like to hear about in a future segment. In STO, we are pioneering a creative, collaborative approach to establishing true Zen community (Skt. sangha) in the USA. This haiku poem, in the traditional 5,7,5-syllable format, I composed some years ago. Memorial day this year happened to coincide with the 51st anniversary of wedding my long-suffering wife, the love of my life, a living bodhisattva of compassion. The bouquet I presented her at our breakfast date had a few buds that had not yet blossomed, until this morning. Recalling my mother often saying, "Don't bring me dead flowers!" I realized that cut flowers are, indeed, if not dead already, then at least dying, as we trim them and put them in a vase, prolonging the decaying process with water and flower food. I revised the haiku to read: Flowers blossom allunaware of their beauty —though doomed to failure Repositioning "all" so that it modifies both "flowers" and "unaware" depending on the reader's interpretation, the last line reflects my mother's cold-eyed insight that cut flowers are no longer living, and that the seeds they produce through pollination have the chance of a snowball in hell of germinating. This brings up another common trope of modernity, the concept of "dichotomies." Giving dying flowers to celebrate the living is a kind of dichotomy, or contradiction. My root teacher, Matsuoka-roshi, was prone to say, "There is no dichotomy in Zen!" I think he was implying that any dichotomy is in the eye — or mind, or both — of the beholder. Suffering from obsessive curiosity as to all things verbal, I looked up the term in the New Oxford American Dictionary bundled with my MacBook Pro: di•chot•o•mynoun (plural dichotomies) [usually in singular] a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different: a rigid dichotomy between science and mysticism. • Botany repeated branching into two equal parts. One of the most common dichotomies — speaking of a "rigid dichotomy between science and mysticism." and which has become a trope in the USA, and perhaps all over the world — is the expression, "There are two kinds of people in the world..." followed by the speaker's perspective on some defining difference between their worldview and that of others. My rather circular version is "There are two kinds of people in this world: those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world, and those who don't." But seriously, folks... It occurs to me that one of the many such distinctions that do make a difference — particularly on the social level, and with ramifications in the natural sphere — is of religious viewpoints. The "first kind of people in the world" believe that there is a loving creator God watching over humankind — His children made in His image — protecting us from the worst consequences of our actions, or at least assuring us that they must be in some way the manifestation of His will. A current example is that of climate change. If our most dystopian fears come to pass, anything coming to pass on such a grand scale must be part of God's plan, rather than an unintended consequence of our collective action, mustn't it? Wouldn't it be ironic if the human race were to wipe itself out, based on a mistaken belief that our reckless stewardship of the planet is under the control of a loving God, who would surely not allow such a thing to happen. It begs the existential question: What if we are wrong? We may be forgiven for our resistance to elevating such a belief to the lofty level of "thought," which is held in such high esteem in Western philosophy. "Religion" as such was supposedly replaced by "Reason" following the Enlightenment, as deserving of our highest reverence. In its most extreme manifestation, this worldview — shared by the "second kind of people in the world" — devolves to "secular reductionism," widely reviled by theistic creationists as reducing the existence of humanity to some kind of evolutionary fluke. The second kind subdivide into two camps as well — those who are agnostic on the concept of the existence of God as a being, though it is unclear whether or when, and under what circumstances, they suppose they might find an answer to the question — and those who take the contrarian position, defaulting to atheism, which some mock as the strongest form of theism, by the theory of opposites. You can't have atheism without theism. A few atheists enjoy a degree of fame and fortune from their efforts railing against the popular tide of conventional belief systems. Buddha knew that his teaching would be swimming upstream against the prevailing tide of contemporaneous beliefs, such as that of the atman, or soul, of Hinduism. However, he apparently did not make a public case of it by challenging the political hierarchy of the time, which was based on Hinduism, and in which he enjoyed a privileged position as a prominent member of the second highest caste. Instead, he shared his views with his followers for reasons of personal salvation. Buddhism promised to reform society by offering an alternative to the status quo, which he interpreted as motivated primarily by self-striving. His doctrine began with challenging the belief in the existence of the self, not in that of God, or gods. If this manifestation of two contrary and opposed worldviews of believers and nonbelievers — one requiring hard evidence, the other only faith — stopped at the boundary between the personal and social spheres, its unintended consequences would be relatively trivial, in their impact on the world we live in. But when the claim is made that the ways of the world, including the machinations of mankind, reflect the will of God — in particular those people who are likeminded, and part of our political cohort — the worst impulses and basest motives of men are enabled in His name, not ours. We are now witness to an international situation in which the most powerful men in the world are child killers and / or child molesters; take your pick. It is impossible to imagine anything more selfish than that. Their family, friends and supporters are implicated to a degree proportional to their proximity to the inner circles of power. Six degrees of non-separation. That they do not, or cannot, see this fact, and own up to it, constitutes an undeniable manifestation of the root of the trouble that Buddha identified as "ignorance." According to his model of the Twelvefold Chain of Interdependent Co-arising, everything arises out of a kind of universal ignorance, including most centrally for humans, the conviction that we are independent, existent entities — i.e. the constructed self. This ignorance is, originally, essentially innocent: a case of simply not-knowing. But when this sense of self is taken to be real, it intervenes in our judgment calls in navigating the world, leading us to commit all kinds of actions in defense of it. Willful ignorance, that is. But again: What if we are wrong? What if what we take to be our persona, our very own self — stemming from the very convincing assembly of the body-mind complex: the six senses, five aggregates, DNA, et cetera, implying a fundamental bifurcation into "self" and "other" — is a kind of categorical error, a rudimentary, ingrained confusion? The sixth ancestor in China, Master Huineng, was famous for saying, "Show me your face before your father and mother were born!" or words to that effect. What if what we are now — channeling through this biological body — is precisely what we were, before this body was born? What if we will be exactly the same, after this body dies? My understanding of one Buddhist teaching is that desire — the primordial desire for existence itself — precedes birth, and indeed, is the impulse that logically leads to birth. However, to assume that this idea necessarily implies the existence of a self or soul, an entity of some sort that precedes birth, a basic tenet of Hinduism's doctrine of reincarnation, namely the atman; or that the soul comes into existence with the advent of birth in this lifetime, which I take to be a fundamental doctrine of Christianity; is to impute to Buddha's teaching the very idea that he refuted with his doctrine of anatman: he found no evidence of such a being in his transformational spiritual awakening. In the Heart of Great Wisdom Sutra chanted in Zen centers and monasteries around the world on a frequent basis, the implication is that in Zen meditation, we progress through the Five Aggregates of sentient existence until arriving at "consciousness only," our awareness shifts to "no consciousness also." Or as Buddha is said to have taught, a "turning about in the inmost consciousness," Master Dogen's "backward step" of "turning the light around to shine on the self." This "no consciousness" is not the absence of consciousness, but the necessary complement to consciousness itself – the resolution of the apparent dichotomy. You cannot have consciousness without "no consciousness." You cannot have impermanence without permanence. You cannot have being without nonbeing, as the great Ch'an poem illustrates: Emptiness here; emptiness there —But the infinite universe stands always before your eyesInfinitely large; infinitely small — no differenceFor definitions have vanished, and no boundaries are seenSo, too, with Being and Non-being According to this principle of no dichotomy in Zen, then, even the existential question resolves itself into a complementarity. There is no being without non-being. The dichotomy exists only in our interpretation. Paraphrasing Krishnamurti, don't "Think on these things"; Sit with these things.

Stai per partire per l'Italia e hai paura di non riuscire a comunicare? In questo articolo trovi 25 frasi indispensabili per il tuo viaggio: espressioni pratiche e concrete, quelle che userai davvero per parlare del tuo viaggio, ordinare al ristorante, spostarti e farti capire anche quando l'italiano corre troppo veloce. Parla Italiano in Vacanza: Espressioni che Userai Davvero L'articolo è organizzato in quattro blocchi tematici, così è più semplice memorizzare le frasi: parlare del tuo viaggio, ristorante e negozi, spostamenti e orientamento, aiuto e comunicazione. Se vuoi approfondire altri verbi utili per viaggiare in Italia, puoi consultare la guida dedicata. Blocco 1: Parlare del Tuo Viaggio Appena gli italiani capiscono che sei un turista, partono con le domande: "Da dove vieni? Cosa fai qui? Ti piace l'Italia?". In Italia la conversazione con uno sconosciuto può durare anche venti minuti, soprattutto al Sud. Ecco le frasi che ti aiuteranno a rispondere. 1. Sono in Vacanza La frase più semplice e più usata di tutte. Per esempio: "Sono qui in vacanza" oppure "Sono in vacanza in Italia per due settimane". Nota linguistica: in italiano si dice "in vacanza", non "alle vacanze". Memorizza la preposizione "IN": è importante. Se vuoi approfondire l'uso delle preposizioni semplici in italiano, c'è una guida dedicata. 2. Sono Qui per Lavoro / Viaggio per Lavoro Per chi non è in vacanza ma in trasferta. Esempio: "Sono qui per lavoro, resto solo tre giorni". Attenzione: non si dice "Viaggio per il lavoro" con l'articolo, ma semplicemente "per lavoro". Stessa regola con "in vacanza": senza articolo. È una frase utile soprattutto a Milano, capitale economica d'Italia. 3. È la Mia Prima Volta in Italia Dilla a un italiano e vedrai cosa succede: ti consiglierà tanti posti da visitare, ti spiegherà dove mangiare la migliore pizza, ti darà persino il contatto di un suo conoscente. Gli italiani apprezzano molto chi scopre il loro paese per la prima volta. Variante utile: "Sono già stato/stata in Italia diverse volte". Ricorda l'accordo: stato per gli uomini, stata per le donne. 4. Resto per + Numero + Giorni Esempi: "Resto per cinque giorni", "Rimango per due settimane". I verbi restare e rimanere sono praticamente sinonimi, e puoi usarli indifferentemente. Userai questa frase tantissimo: alla reception dell'hotel, ai controlli in aeroporto, e in qualsiasi conversazione con un italiano curioso. Attenzione alla pronuncia: la "G" di giorni è dolce, non come la "G" di gatto. 5. Sto Visitando + Luogo Il verbo "stare" + gerundio è la forma progressiva italiana. Esempi: "Sto visitando la Toscana", "Sto visitando le Cinque Terre", "Sto visitando il Sud Italia". Nota grammaticale: in italiano questa forma si usa meno che in altre lingue. Spesso si preferisce dire semplicemente dove si è: "Sono in Toscana", "Sono a Firenze". Ma per parlare di quello che stai facendo proprio adesso, "sto visitando" è perfetto. 6. Sono Qui da Solo / con la Mia Famiglia / con gli Amici Frase importante per spiegare la tua situazione. "Sono qui da solo" se sei un uomo, "Sono qui da sola" se sei una donna: ricorda sempre l'accordo del participio e dell'aggettivo. SituazioneFraseViaggi da soloSono qui da solo / da solaViaggi con la famigliaSono qui con la mia famigliaViaggi con amiciSono qui con i miei amiciViaggi col partnerSono qui con il mio ragazzo / la mia ragazzaViaggi col coniugeSono qui con mio marito / mia moglie Nota culturale: in Italia, quando si parla di famiglia, si include spesso una rete ampia di parenti. Se dici "sono qui con la famiglia", può capitarti la domanda: "Quanti siete?". 7. Mi Consiglia Qualcosa di Tipico? Una delle frasi più utili in assoluto. La puoi usare al ristorante, nei negozi di alimentari, nelle enoteche. Esempi: "Mi consiglia un piatto tipico?", "Mi consiglia un vino della zona?", "Mi consiglia un dolce locale?". Gli italiani sono orgogliosi della loro cucina regionale e amano dare consigli. Attenzione però: ogni regione ha la sua specialità. Non chiedere la "carbonara autentica" a Firenze o la "pasta al pesto originale" a Napoli. La forma informale è: "Mi consigli qualcosa di tipico?". Per imparare altre espressioni utili per iniziare una conversazione in italiano, dai un'occhiata alla guida dedicata. 8. Cosa Mi Consiglia di Vedere? L'equivalente della frase precedente, ma per luoghi e attività. Esempi: "Cosa mi consiglia di vedere in città?", "Cosa mi consiglia di visitare nei dintorni?". Spesso i consigli migliori non vengono dalle guide turistiche, ma dai locali: il barista, il tassista, la persona del bed and breakfast. La forma informale è: "Cosa mi consigli di vedere?". Blocco 2: Ristorante e Negozi Questo è probabilmente il blocco più utile in assoluto: ecco le frasi che ti serviranno davvero quando andrai a mangiare o a fare acquisti in Italia. Per approfondire, puoi consultare la guida sulle parole ed espressioni al ristorante. 9. Vorrei… Questa è la frase chiave per ordinare in modo educato. Esempi: "Vorrei un caffè", "Vorrei una pizza margherita", "Vorrei un bicchiere di vino rosso". Vorrei è il condizionale del verbo volere e suona molto più gentile di voglio. Se entri in un bar e dici "voglio un caffè", suoni un po' brusco. Con vorrei, invece, sei nel registro giusto. 10. Prendo… Alternativa a vorrei, leggermente più diretta ma sempre cortese, soprattutto al ristorante quando il cameriere ti chiede cosa hai scelto. Esempi: "Io prendo le lasagne", "Prendo un tiramisù". 11. Mi Può Dare…? Forma di cortesia per chiedere qualcosa. Esempi: "Mi può dare il menù?", "Mi può dare un altro tovagliolo?", "Mi può dare il sale?". Se sei in confidenza, puoi usare il tu: "Mi puoi dare…?". 12. Avete un Tavolo per Due? La prima frase che dirai entrando in un ristorante. Esempi: "Avete un tavolo per due?", "Avete un tavolo per quattro?". Se non hai prenotato (cosa che in Italia è sempre meglio fare nei posti famosi, soprattutto la sera), questa è la domanda chiave. Il cameriere potrebbe risponderti: "Avete prenotato?". E se sei da solo? "Avete un tavolo per uno?" – in Italia mangiare da soli è normale. 13. Sono Allergico a… / Senza Glutine Frase fondamentale per la tua sicurezza. Esempi: "Sono allergico alle noci", "Sono allergica al lattosio", oppure "Sono celiaco/celiaca e ho bisogno di un piatto senza glutine". In Italia la cultura del cibo è molto attenta alle intolleranze, e quasi tutti i ristoranti hanno opzioni senza glutine, soprattutto le pizzerie. Una frase utile per chiedere è: "Questo piatto contiene…?". 14. Quanto Costa? Frase indispensabile in negozio, al mercato, ovunque. Se si tratta di più cose, si dice: "Quanto costano?". Nota culturale: nei mercati storici come Porta Portese a Roma o Vucciria a Palermo, si può trattare sul prezzo. Puoi provare a dire: "Mi fa un po' di sconto?". 15. Posso Pagare con la Carta? Frase molto utile. In Italia, soprattutto nei bar piccoli, nelle pizzerie al taglio e nei mercatini, non sempre accettano la carta. Per legge dovrebbero, ma la realtà è diversa. Quindi prima di ordinare, chiedi sempre. È consigliabile portare sempre un po' di contanti con sé. 16. Ci Può Portare il Conto? Quando hai finito di mangiare, in Italia il conto non arriva da solo come in altri paesi. Devi chiederlo. Quindi alza gentilmente la mano e di': "Scusi, ci può portare il conto, per favore?". Si usa "ci" quando si è in più persone; se sei da solo, si dice: "Mi può portare il conto?". In Italia la mancia non è una regola fissa come in altri paesi: se il servizio è stato ottimo, puoi lasciare qualche euro, ma non è obbligatorio. Blocco 3: Spostamenti e Orientamento Muoversi in Italia richiede qualche frase chiave per orientarsi e usare i mezzi di trasporto. Se vuoi approfondire come chiedere e dare informazioni stradali in italiano, puoi leggere la guida dedicata. 17. Dov'è + Luogo Esempi: "Dov'è il bagno?", "Dov'è la stazione?", "Dov'è il Colosseo?". Frase fondamentale per orientarsi. Se sono più luoghi, si dice: "Dove sono i bagni?". Consiglio pratico: gli italiani amano dare indicazioni, ma a volte preferiscono inventare la strada piuttosto che ammettere di non sapere. Se ti sembrano vaghi, chiedi conferma a una seconda persona. 18. È Lontano? / È Vicino? La domanda che segue naturalmente "Dov'è…?". Sapere dove si trova una cosa è una cosa, sapere se è raggiungibile a piedi o se serve l'autobus è un'altra. Esempi: "Scusi, la stazione è lontana?", "Il Duomo è vicino?". Nota culturale: per gli italiani "qui vicino" può voler dire 50 metri o 2 chilometri. Chiedi sempre conferma con: "A piedi o in autobus?". 19. A Che Ora Apre / Chiude? Domanda essenziale, perché in Italia gli orari sono particolari. Molti negozi chiudono per la pausa pranzo, dalle 13 alle 16 circa, soprattutto nei paesini e al Sud. I musei spesso chiudono il lunedì. Prima di spostarti per visitare qualcosa, chiedi: "A che ora apre il museo?", "A che ora chiude la farmacia?". 20. A Che Ora Parte / Arriva il Treno? Frase indispensabile se viaggi in treno – in Italia è uno dei modi migliori per spostarsi tra città. Esempi: "A che ora parte il treno per Firenze?", "A che ora arriva a Venezia?". In Italia ci sono treni veloci come il Frecciarossa e l'Italo, ma anche i regionali, più lenti ed economici. È bene controllare sempre i tabelloni in stazione per eventuali ritardi. Per imparare il vocabolario specifico, c'è il dialogo in stazione per prendere il treno in Italia. 21. Un Biglietto per… Frase universale: la usi per il treno, l'autobus, la metropolitana, il museo, qualsiasi cosa. Esempi: "Un biglietto per Roma, per favore", "Due biglietti per gli Uffizi". Attenzione alla Convalida del Biglietto ...

Ti sei mai accorto che la teoria studiata sui libri spesso non corrisponde a come parlano gli italiani nella vita reale? Molti manuali e corsi tendono a semplificare troppo le regole grammaticali, creando enorme frustrazione quando ci si scontra con la lingua parlata e le sue "eccezioni".In questo episodio, io e Carolina smontiamo le 6 più grandi bufale sulla lingua italiana: dal terrore di usare il futuro dopo il "Se", al mistero del "Mi mangio una pizza", fino alla più grande bugia sul Congiuntivo. Scopriamo insieme come funziona davvero l'italiano vivo.00:00 intro02:06 Se non si usa con il futuro04:11 Non posso dire "sto avendo un problema"07:08 Il mistero di "mi mangio" e "mi bevo"12:50 Il passato remoto si usa con con le azioni lontane nel tempo18:57 Il congiuntivo si usa con il dubbio23:08 La preposizione "in" si usa con i Paesi

For the fourth and final hour of the day on Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, Will and Stoke take on The Drive’s toughest trivia for The Fan’s weekly Trivia Challenge. Can they go 4-0? Will and Stoke listen to Joe Sakic talk about Cale Makar’s future with the Avalanche; he makes it sound like it’s a done deal, but Will is worried about another Mikko Rantanen situation. Will and Stoke cap off the week with an update on the developing Jonathan Cooper story.  

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, co-founder of U-Tribe and GIFT (Gold International Fungible Token), to explore one of the most ambitious real-world asset projects I've come across. Mamadou spent decades in banking and early-stage investing across Africa , including in the first GSM projects and mobile payments before M-Pesa , and he turned that experience into a mission: giving anyone on earth access to physical, one-to-one backed gold from as little as 15 cents. We talk about why central banks are quietly buying more physical gold than at any point in the past 40 years, why the gold ETF market is dangerously over-encumbered, and how GIFT's MiCA-regulated token could become the financial safety net for 2.5 billion people across 35 countries. Mamadou also walks me through their quantum-enhanced wallet, their Ubuntu Academy for financial and digital literacy, and their upcoming STO launching in July. This one is packed with insight on the real shift happening in global finance right now. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Vita e opere di uno dei pittori più famosi del Trecento | Spendieren Sie einen Cafè (1€)? Donate a coffee (1€)? https://ko-fi.com/italiano Livello B1 B2 - #Italia #arte #middleages #giottoLearn italian with an easy but interesting crime story - take a look at Luisa's murder mistery on Amazon: Gianduiotti e Delitti, i misteriosi casi del Commissario DalmassoBuongiorno cari amici e amanti dell'italiano e, come sempre, benvenuti al nuovo episodio di Tulip. Oggi vi voglio parlare di arte e vedremo un artista, un pittore molto importante che ha segnato il passaggio dal mondo antico, medievale a quello moderno dell'umanesimo. Sto parlando di Giotto.Vedremo anche alcune delle sue opere più importanti. Giotto nasce a Colle di Vespignano, vicino a Firenze, in Toscana intorno al 1267 in una famiglia benestante. Della sua infanzia e della sua giovinezza non si sa molto, a parte che va a imparare nella bottega di un famoso pittore dell'epoca, Cimabue. Già da molto giovane dimostra un grande talento.Uno degli aneddoti di questo pittore racconta che avesse dipinto una mosca su una tavola, talmente bella, talmente reale che il suo maestro, Cimabue, aveva tentato di pulire la tavola per mandare via la mosca che aveva creduto essere una mosca vera.Cimabue aveva già notato la grande capacità del suo allievo nella pittura proprio mentre Giotto stava disegnando delle pecore su un sasso. Anche Cimabue aveva tentato di dipingere in modo diverso, di dipingere le figure non più in modo stilizzato, tipico del Medioevo, figure in stile bizantino, piene di ori, ma di raffigurare in modo più naturalistico.

Lara Mitxelena Newiger lehrt Deutsch als Fremdsprache in ihrer eigenen Online-Schule. Mit Frank spricht sie über ihr Aufwachsen im Baskenland und Rheinland-Pfalz. Warum sie einen spanischen Pass hat, aber keinen engen Bezug zum Land, wo das Klischee der starken Basken herkommt – und was ihre Sprachschüler*innen vom Leben in Deutschland berichten. Über baskische Berge und den Terror der Untergrundorganisation ETA, fiese Fälle und falsche (Sprach-) Freunde, Stoßlüften und Spazierengehen.

What started as a way to de-risk dependence on Google and Meta has turned into a multi-million dollar revenue driver—and a repeatable system for launching and scaling new branches.They walk through how top operators are building field marketing teams, structuring canvassing programs, and using this “analog” channel to create predictable growth without relying on algorithms.If you want to diversify your lead flow, lower risk, and unlock a new path to scale, this episode is your playbook.You'll learn: Why relying on a single marketing channel puts your business at risk  How door-to-door marketing can generate 10–20%+ of total revenue  The structure of a high-performing canvassing team  Why high-ticket services make this model work  How to use canvassing to launch and scale new markets fast Host: John Wilson https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbwilson1/Guest: Sam Preston https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-preston-a682103b6/Shout Out to FieldPulse
