How to say SO in Italian - Meaning and Usage of QUINDI - ALLORA - PERCIÒ - COSÌ in Italian

[@goliath257]

Your grasp of the nuances of English is SO impressive.

Mano, you are really the BEST Italian Teacher I have ever seen! I mean it!! Awesome and pretty useful video as always! Grazie Mille!

Grazie! How many new words did you learn? 😊

[@azzahomes1202]

@@italymadeeasy Great question! The new interesting phrases that I'm happy to learn them today through your great lesson are: Penso di si, Penso di No , e cosi , ti augoro e sei un bambino educato, first time I get to know that polite means in Italiano, educato!!

💪Benissimo

[@dianaveitch395]

Sono d'accordo con te

[@mariannemilander]

You're so good at breaking down all the different definitions for the various ways "so" can be used. Context is key so this is way better than me just trying to look up different definitions in a dictionary. Thank you this was super helpful!

That's good to know that adverbs do not change gender. I'm glad you took the detour to explain that!

[@michaeldesiciliano6363]

@@italymadeeasy I love that lasts yeah bro

[@daCubanaqt]

If you think about it this way, an adverb modifies a verb which does not have a gender and an adjective modifies a noun which does have a gender. So (😊), that is another way to remember it.

[@kickitlikekirra]

@daCubanaqt Oh, yeah, duh! That makes total sense, thank you! Still being early in my learning journey, it sometimes takes so many conscious steps to break down what I'm saying or why I have to say it in a certain way. Some of it is so easy and flows well and I don't struggle over. And every once in a while it's like 😵‍💫🤯😶🧐🤔😣😫😪😮‍💨🥴 Luckily that's the joy of learning! I love that feeling that my brain is streeetching and absorbing more.

I always think of it in groups. If it's so/therefore then "quindi". If it's so/thus then "così". If it's so/well (or basically a filler) then "allora". That may not cover all cases but based on Manu's video I'm not too far off!

Excellent explanation 😍👌 I have a little question: as a beginner in learning the language, when should I stop comparing it to my native language? I think we all do it in the beginning of learning new language to recognize how this language different or similar to our native one and also to make it more logical and let the grammar make more sense. But the question: is there a specific level or time which the comparison between languages can be dangerous to me so it may hinder my progress in Italian? And when should I stop doing it?

[@italymadeeasy]

ciao Eman, you are doing a great job! Comparing Italian to your native language is useful as it helps you recognise patterns of what is similar and what is different! However, we recommend to not "translate" word by word from your language to Italian, but to try to "think" in Italian as soon as possible! 💪

[@marcotagliavini9128]

@@jaytrees7304mmm, probably your answer to my comment is a demonstration of another linguistic "problem", or the semantic difference of similar words in different languages: in italian the word problem is not always "dramatical", it means many times a simple "difficulty", not an "enormous problem" ... in italy "problema" has probably a less semantic force than the english term "problem"... excuse me for my poor english !

This is very helpful with the modes of some expressions. Can you speak the end of sentences a little more slowly, SO, we can hear those words that often sound as if they are blurred together? Honestly, this is the kind of clarification that’s needed to understand colloquial language.

[@gailchase7447]

Hi Deni, I use the Italian subtitles so that I can see what was spoken. Then I play the video again, without the subtitles so that I can become familiar with conversational speech. I suspect that Manu is already slowing down his speech for us who are learning Italian.
