How to Use MAGARI in Italian - Using Italian MAGARI (Meaning of MAGARI Italian)

[@davebirkett6219]

It takes someone with a really good understanding of English to give such a valuable lesson. Grazie.

[@NadiyaLevytska]

AAAHHHHH GOD HOW AMAZING IS IT, SEEING THE NOTIFICATION AND KNOWING THAT THOSE 14 MINUTES UR GONNA ENJOY THE CHARISMA OF THIS TEACHER!!!

[@italymadeeasy]

Thank you so much for your Support, Nad! Any suggestion for new videos? 😘

[@NadiyaLevytska]

@@italymadeeasy ohh...tbh i have a few, for example where should I use " si ", i always hear that in many situations and actually i already got used to but still don't know exactly rules for this.( There's a few videos on this topic on KZbin but argh...). Another... maybe it'd be helpful to have...like a list with words which we would be able to use when we're not sayin anything and when it's like uncomfortable silence, y'know 😂it doesn't have to be something hard or anything like that but maybe such words as " cioè/allora etc "(and which we had better use and which would be more natural for Italian native speakers). (Or maybe even such English phrase that we use aalll the time kinda " i mean, like " and others)

[@italymadeeasy]

Grazie Nad! 😍 We'll consider your idea for a future video! 😘

[@IlGattonero13]

This is fantastic, Manu (and yes, I took copious notes and will add it to the folder I started with "prego"!). Your content and methods are unparalleled. What a pleasure to listen to a fellow lover of language tease out the shades of meaning for such a common but complex term with absolute clarity and stellar examples! The differentiation in intonation and even in facial expression and gesture is crucial and so beautifully executed. Lessons like this elevate your students to the next level in comprehension and comfort with the subtleties of spoken Italian. Le ringrazio, professore! Stammi bene.

[@italymadeeasy]

Thank you so much, Gatto Nero. Exactly: expressions and gestures are so important in such cases. Your comment is so precious. Is there something you would like us to talk about in our next videos? Grazie 😘

[@IlGattonero13]

@@italymadeeasy Thank you for asking, Manu. There's too much, really, most of it too technical for these types of videos. I always enjoy listening to conversations between native speakers -- just in navigating everyday stuff, or an exchange of ideas on a specific topic -- but that's much harder to manage in these days of social distancing! Mostly I don't know what I don't know -- e.g., about the many shades of meaning of "magari"! -- and you are adept at finding important and interesting things to teach that we didn't know we should know! I listen gratefully to everything you offer. Grazie ancora!

Interesting how Magari used as "I wish!" (4:30) is very similar to "ojalá" in Spanish, which also requires the subjunctive: Ojalá supiera hablar japonés!" Great vid. Grazie mille

I am using Duolingo to learn Italian and Spanish and I love it. Unfortunately they do not explain in detail as you do. I found your channel as I was searching for an explanation.

Manu, you make lessons so much fun, even though I need to stop the video and replay to catch it all. Also, I pause the video to write notes. I have wonderful cousins in Roma, and someday, I hope to actually have a conversation wih them.(If I live long enough)

[@italymadeeasy]

Of course you will be able to have a conversation with them! We appreciate your commitment to the practice, it will lead you to great results! ❤️

[@slkonnaris8477]

Manu, your explanations are incredible. What would we do without you?!! It would take us many years to work out these things for ourselves (if we ever managed to work them out at all!) Only a couple of days ago I was thinking to myself that the longer I learn Italian the more I realise you can rarely translate directly from English to Italian (...like you often can with other languages - for example it's much easier to translate directly from English to French). I really believe that's part of the charm of the Italian language (and part of the challenge for us learners - 'challenge' in a good way). Thank you so much for being the best teacher!! It makes my day every time I watch one of your videos.

[@theopavlos6113]

"Μακάρι" (macari, toned in the second syllable as italian "magari") has a similar meaning in modern greek. Also, I found out that both words share a common etymology from ancient greek word "μακάριον" (macarion, blessed). Also, "μακάρι" and magari are etymologically related to italian pasta "macaroni", greek chistmas honey-biscuits "μελομακάρονα" (melomacarona).

[@italymadeeasy]

[@johnychen8143]

Manu this is great. I didn't know there were so many uses for "magari". Many are similar and have a positive, "wishful, " meaning while others have an opposite connotation. There is a word in Spanish that sort of matches many, but not all, of the meanings of magari, which is "ojalá ". Ojala derives from the Arabic "law shah allah," which means "if God should want," which seems to apply to some of the examples you showed us.

[@yolacintia]

I have been using ojalá a lot lately. Ojalá abran las fronteras pronto. Ojalá todo pase rápido. Ojalá el precio de los vuelos no aumente. 😂😂😂😂

[@italymadeeasy]

Bravo, Johny Chen! Complimenti! Your example absolutely apply to some of the examples of the video. So interesting how different languages can be similar, isn't? 😊

9:20 Okay here is where the cultural differences come not only between Italian and American, but between Northern and Southern Italian because if you EVER even slightly implied to a Calabrese that an unannounced visit was "inconvenient" in any way, it would be the LAST visit you would ever get from that person again in your life!! "Ma che bruta figura!!" Lol 😆

[@despode]

I could add my two cents here guys: Magari - Oh, if only! Magari - Would I ever! :) Just like these expressions in English are advanced, so they are in Italian, in my opinion.

[@tarahinibelotti8401]

Ciao Manu - so is magari a verb? Is there conjugation? Or is it just an "expression"? as it is Thanks Manu = love your course

Magari is just an "expression", not a verb 😉

[@c3popolygloto611]

Grazie. Questo soggetto è trattato abbastanza spesso, e bene, in "molti" video. Posso sentire et leggere la parola MAGARI in diversi contesti quindi, pian piano, il significato diventa più chiaro. MA... invece, questa situazione mi fa dubitare del uso (non del significato) della parola FORSE.

So helpful, thank you! When I was in Italy magari and mica were the two words nobody could explain to me, because of so many meanings. I also had trouble with mi racommando. I suppose in English we have a different expression for each meaning, or even an intonation or gesture so it's difficult to imagine one word for them all. Still, you have helped a lot.

Questo si usa per qualcosa vicino a te. This in English. Esto en español. Quello si usa per qualcosa che si trova più lontano di te. That in English. Aquello en español. (Non so qual'è la tua lingua madre)

[@icewinder758]

Questo is being used to indicate towards something near you It is like english equivalent of " this" Quello on the other hand is used to indicate towards something far away from you Like english "that" So This girl is so beautiful Questa ragazza è bellissima (This can work if the girl i am refering to is near me) That girl is so beautiful Quella ragazza è bellissima (say if i am talking to someone and i indicate towards a girl standing few feet away, cannot use " questa in that case") Keep in mind Ragazza is feminine so it is Questa and quella Libro for example is il libro Therefore Questo and quel libro It can be refered to These and those If we are talking about plural Than it would be Queste and questi Quelle and quelli I am first year student of italian so someone please verify my info i have just given

This seems to require context and physical presence for proper interpretation. How do you use magari when writing? If someone sends an email that they hope to see you soon, it seems to me that if you write back "magari!" it would be hard to interpret. If they use a translation program most likely they will think you said "maybe".

[@henokmengiste4909]

Okay but why are u speaking in English?? It was better if u speak completely in italian with eng subtitle.

[@italymadeeasy]

As a linguist and a person who has learned 5 languages, I decided to adopt the pedagogical method which, based on my experience, works better and is more useful: learning (teaching) the theory of a foreign language (grammar, strategies etc) in student's mother tongue (therefore English for the audience of Italy Made Easy), and listen to many interesting materials in the language that you are studing. Learning the grammar and theory of the Italian language in Italian would be a waste of time for the student (who would understand only a small portion of the concepts taught and necessary) and for me, since in that way my students would not learn Italian, or at least they would learn it much more slowly. We at Italy Made Easy produce a lot of 100% Italian content, but only interesting and fun things that students can use to improve their listening and understanding skills in Italian (and the pronunciation!!). In short, I hope you can use our materials to help you with learning Italian! 😊
