[@xabierazpiazu2679]

There is an italian girl I like and I'm watching this just to surprise her with some of these expressions and make her laugh. Wish me " in bocca al lupo" guys!

[@ladeacarr4245]

cant go wrong using formal tone, lol he just said be careful bc some of these are not polite, so might not want to start out with these phrases bro lol

'BASTA' and 'MAMA MIA' are used in Flemisch as well. But less and less. (Flemish: Dutch that is spoken in Flanders - Belgium). Thanks for the video !!

[@italianforamericans2416]

Interesting!

[@Kazzeinkure]

It's full of Italians in that land. And many died mining a long time ago.

[@koreanimo]

Ik heb nog nooit gehoord van Basta maar wel Mama mia! Inderdaad, zijn er veel italianen in België. Intereasant dat "basta" gebruikt wordt in België

[@DavidsDoseofItaly]

Nice video. I'd like to see a video of an American telling the waiter "che schifo questa pizza!" years ago when I learning Italian I was staying with a host family and when the mother asked me if I wanted more food, I said "Non me ne frega niente"! Eh. I had understood that it was an ok way to say "No, that's ok".

I can imagine her face!

[@jaybiddy955]

4:28 you said party like an Irishman lol

[@CynthiaWaldrop]

I wouldn't translate "cavolo" as damn. Because the fact that you use "cavolo" is because you're avoiding curse words in order to use it in more polite company. I would say it's more like "heck" What the heck! Che cavolo! (you see, instead of using 'hell' or 'caz##") Enjoyed your video. I would use mannaggia for damn, no? :-)

[@italianforamericans2416]

Thank you for your feedback Cynthia!

[@christopherpaul7588]

Thanks for the lesson! Very helpful! I'm an English teacher so I can't help but comment. Slang is not countable. Better to use the word expressions. :)

[@italianforamericans2416]

Thank you for letting me know, Christopher! :)

[@rabbitphobia]

Totally disagree slang is adopted by the locals so really is not slang just informal which in many cases is great.

[@maxencebigan8886]

He didn't mean this at all.

[@christopherpaul7588]

@@rabbitphobia What? I have no idea what you're talking about. In English, the word "Slang" is NOT countable. 1 slang, 2 slangs. You can't make it plural.

Hii! Thanks for the video!!!:) Sooo I heard that "che figo" is not a very polite expression and I'm wondering... Is "che bello" a good substitute? For "cool"? It's also used by young people, right? Or maybe only older?

[@bettina6271]

Yes, “che bello” it’s a good substitute but many young people don’t say it because they are not very polite (I’m Italian)

[@bettina6271]

but there are much worse words

it is polite, but it is quite unformal, but it's really used
