Learn Italian Ep.14 - How To Tell Time in Italian

[@morsidmayogkusain3116]

You're my favorite teacher of all time. I Love You!! You're amazing!

[@claudiodimare7503]

TomYou are an awesome teacher, thanks for teaching this Italian how to speak his native tongue again.Claudio

[@ML-kl7mc]

Youre a great teacher. I could listen to you all day.

Ah thanks! :)

[@daiitunned9510]

i love you videos, you've taught me more in 2 weeks than expansive classes have taught me in months.

[@Aturrrrr206]

You have all qualities what a teacher should have.You are great a teacher.

[@lyndalombardi6473]

Grazie mille! Your videos are so easy to follow and to date this is the only one I have found that explains time. My husband is Italian but speaks only the dialect from his village as he was very small when his family came to Canada. Now that I have a few months of learning I am helping him with his Italian and of course this in turn helps me learn. I love, love, love Italy. I am so excited to be going back next spring for an art excursion. It is important to be a respectful and welcome guest and not expecting to be served in English. La lingua italiana e bella. ( hope this is correct, it is from a translation site and they don't always get it right). To speak and be understood in the language, makes one feel so much more immersed in the culture. Watching all of your videos and loving your teaching style.

[@MsFlower8]

[@lauramarra867]

Hey I'm 16 years old and i live in Germany and my Parents are from Napoli so I don't speak really good Italian. I just speak Napolitano i don't even now if this word exist :) but the only thing that I want to say is that you are helping me so much to learn Italian and English (we have English in school) when I saw your first video I was like I'm so jealous of you're Italian but I was thinking that you're Italian in live in Italy after looking more of your videos and realizing oh shit he's native language isn't Italian I was really shocked I mean I go every summer to Italy and I watch Italian TV i know how Italian people sound I don't know you're just awesome thank you very much and I hope you continued you're videos grazie Dankeschön

[@legaleagle46]

Oh, and "mezzogiorno" is also used as a synonym for the South, especially southern Italy ("il Mezzogiorno" or sometimes "il Meridionale").

[@fifa4ever667]

Tom I' m italian but I' m happy for your video :-)

[@avishkabaddage1243]

Awesome. Very helpful video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lozhennessy7789]

Thanks Tom, your videos are really helpful!! But pleeeease could you do one to help pronounce the Italian R???? I just can't get it!! Thanks!! :)

[@forcegear1]

Thank you Tom! Lov all your vids. Please, keep them going :)

[@Pedsdude]

My girlfriend is Italian (I'm English), and I'm in the process of learning the language. Your videos are extremely useful and informative, thank you very much and keep up the good work!

Awesome! Thanks and best of luck from across the pond :)

[@jadenmartinez6781]

have you done a video on numbers in italian?

[@katarzynagardas5847]

In Poland we are using 24 h in timing, for example. 14:25, 19:29, and so on

[@legaleagle46]

The Polish way of telling time is also a bit more complicated than the Italian system, if I remember correctly, especially since case plays a factor in Polish, and you don't just say "It's two o'clock." You actually say "It's the second (or the fourteenth) hour," don't you?

[@katarzynagardas5847]

Lee Cox Yes, it is like You said.

[@legaleagle46]

Dziękuję. Mówię trochę po-polsku, ale niestety jeszcze nie dobrze.

[@katarzynagardas5847]

Lee Cox to miło. Język polski jest wyjątkowo trudny. Gramatyka w szczególności.

[@BuffySummer]

italian sounds so great when you speak it :D When I do it sounds not good at all ;D I can't roll my r's.. You're a really good teacher by the way, I like how you repeat everything and speak slowly and clearly for all us beginners

[@mahmoudelgeziry5160]

Thank you for these videos!

[@livingthebookofYetzirah]

love your video's helps me a lot! thanks

[@TravelStammer]

Also with stations is the times 24hrs and telling the time not used so much as in quatro, mezza, meno etc

[@aigoolkoichumanovaarteisto4389]

Thank you Tom. Grazie mille.

[@JamesKing-bu6md]

Very clear - thx

[@Wheels-4-Steels]

What is the right way then to say 8:30 in the evening military time in Italian? Sono le sedici e mezza?

Exactly! You can also say “sono le sedici e trenta” if that’s easier. You’ll still be understood all the same 👍

[@davidm4932]

my lovely teacher . love you

[@Bossledzeppelin]

OLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:) another SUPER video Tom! you're brilliant!! :D

[@nuwanshantha7504]

hi frethello. i am from srilanka. your videos is verry well.

[@BarbedDagger]

6:00 actually we use "manca/mancano 20 alle 5" too

wonderful, thanks!

[@MissFruitsalad]

Amazing! Thank you

[@dn2nstep05]

Weila, thanks for your videos.. I would like to ask, is it correct that 'in the morning' is translated as 'della mattina'? In the = della?

[@bommaritohawaii]

gracias! helpful tom thank you

[@derciolichucha5535]

Hi.... me again. Could you please make a video introducing us to italian artists? particularly acoustic ones.

[@rageoftheredphoenix]

Some may say, what time you have? Che ore fai? I used say that to a few people who are familiar in speaking the Italian language.

[@MatteoBrucato]

Great videos! Your Italian is amazing! :D To add on to what you just said: you could also say "sono le 9 del mattino"

[@TravelStammer]

Tom. After the half past point e mezza o mezzo besides it being whole number how do you say like 5.52pm is that sono le sei meno otto. Or 4.37pm sono le quattro meno ventitre. È correctto?

[@marineharutyunyan381]

Grazie mille Tom!!!

[@raymondalfredlopez3134]

Could we also say “del mattino” if it is A.M and “della sera” if it is evening?

[@blueberry3717]

Grazie mille Tom, per avere fatto questos videos. Mi piacciono molto gli tuoi video (btw what is the plural of video in italian?) e ho apprenduto molte cose nuove tutte le volte! Dankeschön :)

[@iTube22100]

Here your free lesson : "questos videos" ?? l'italiano non e' (I cannot write letters with the accent !) lo spagnolo, il plurale e' un po' piu' complicato : questi video (video e' invariabile). Mi piacciono molto i tuoi video (non gli) e ho appreso (verbo irregolare) molte.... :)

[@blueberry3717]

iTube22100 grazie :)

[@iTube22100]

Prego, mi devi una lezione di inglese !!

[@carmentiert3912]

My father is from Italy, but he never teached me in Italiano. So I decided to learn it by myself and surprise him :D And I have to say I'm german, so I'm learning Italian in English :D that sounds weird :D

[@blueberry3717]

CarmenExperiences Me too :D Manchmal bemerke ich den Unterschied zwischen deutsch und englisch schon gar nicht mehr, bin schon so dran gewöhnt ^^

[@bommaritohawaii]

me too

[@irenef94]

Bravo spieghi molto bene! Complimenti :) un saluto dall'Italia! :)

[@TravelStammer]

Can you please do a video explaining the difference between 'Che ora è' and 'Che ore sono'. Grazie.

[@s.thomas6954]

I think if you translated it literally it would be: Che ora è? = What is the hour? vs. Che ore sono? = What are the hours?

[@puquilinares]

I also like the way you pronounce words in English!!!

[@La0Lalla]

"Sono le 9 di notte" non si dice :) ...alle 9 e' sera ;) sei comunque bravissimo

[@legaleagle46]

Since you're currently studying French, Tom, you'll be glad to know that French uses exactly the same system for telling time that Italian does (so do Spanish and Portuguese, by the way). :)

[@RozZinDisguise]

Tom, una piccola curiosità da aggiungere al tuo bagaglio cuturale: in Piemonte viene usata l'espressione "la mezza" per riferirsi specificamente alle 12.30 :D

Il canale di RozZ - Action figures, model kits & more Grazie!! Molto interessante!! :)

[@iTube22100]

Non credo sia solo in Piemonte. Piuttosto direi a Tom che è meglio dire, se necessario, le nove di mattina (non della) e assolutamente togliere quelle "d" eufoniche come "ed un", bruttissimo : e un. La "d" va messa, secondo le nuove tendenze (nuove da... 50anni!) il meno possibile per facilitare la pronuncia, cioè quando suona bene la metti, altrimenti no. Questo in generale si riduce a mettere la "d" solo quando la parola che segue inizia per la stessa vocale : "ed eccoci qua", "l'ho invitato ad andare via" ma "e anche", "vado a Urbino"... Ciao :)

[@alessandrospano9465]

Ciao Tom,volevo chiederti perche in questo video usi il verbo "to tell" mentre nel video di come dire mi piace in italiano usi il verbo "to say" -How TO TELL time. -How TO SAY i like in italian. Comunque sei veramente bravo!!!

[@xValentinaz]

diciamo che "to tell" si usa per esprimere, raccontare qualcosa ad una persona mentre "to say" è semplicemente "dire"

[@MrElpeco]

Le 5 meno 20 si possono anche indicare dicendo 20 alle 5 proprio come in inglese 20 to 5. Bel video

[@Stigali]

Do you speak spanish?

[@megapig10]

Can you suggest any Italian bands or music? Love the videos!

Thanks! For a band "Modà" is good, "Ligabue" and "Cesare Cremonini" are my favorites as solo artists. I always just change my iTunes to the Italy Store so I can see the top songs at the moment. Only down side is you can't download from the Italian Store ;)

[@megapig10]

cheers!

[@JazzyJ96771]

Emma Marrone,Alessandra Amaroso for solo singers,they are absolutely amazing.

[@legaleagle46]

Also Irene Grandi.

[@jmonkey106]

bro I SMASH LIKE BUTTON!!!!

[@ezzatdabirian2746]

GRAZIE MILLE!

[@askadia]

It is correct to say "ed un quarto", but you'd more often than not hear it as contracted into "e 'n quarto" (with -d and u- completely dropped)

[@likealillo]

Hi Tom i just wanted to say to you that you are great! I'm italian and i think you rapresent our country much better than us.. XD thanks and i wanted to suggest you some great italian songs! I know you like it. I suggest you to listen to LEVANTE music, i think she's really original :) some of her songs aRE:'Alfonso' , 'Sbadiglio' or 'Dura come me' let me know if you loved them! Bye ! ;)

Thanks! I'll definitely check out that music! :)

[@likealillo]

Listen to Noemi-Don't get me wrong too :D bye

[@messiassouza905]

Thumbs up!

[@christianarcos2722]

thumbs up!!!

[@jackdaviid]

TomTxxytu i tuoi nonni da quale regione italiana provengono?

[@TizianaD]

Sud Italia?

[@lewante4538]

Tiziana D. No di sicuro è del nord /centro-nord, perché weila è tipico del dialetto veneto piemontese se non ricordo male

[@martinagiusti7342]

Ahahah i suoi nonni sono della Campania

[@lewante4538]

Be resta il fatto che weila non è meridionale per niente

[@spanishonlinetutor8124]

molto simile al spagnolo :) Haha. I hope my Italian sentence is correct, I'm trying to learn Italian now

[@iTube22100]

allo spagnolo :)

[@spanishonlinetutor8124]

molte grazie!!! :D

[@thewanderingeuropean3522]

doing work for school

[@Shekssi]

pommerigio mattina e sera o notte si usa solo su un appuntamento....perche se ti chiedo l'ora e sono le 9 della mattina non mi puoi dire della mattina perche lo vedo pure io ma lo specifichi solo in casi in cui quello che chiede non sa che tempo e del tipo si e appena svegliato in una stanza buia o e in cantina ecc altrimenti lo capisce gia lui che e mattina o sera ecc mentre "ed" non e sbagliato ma si usa piu solo "e" tipo 3 e un quarto 5 e dieci

[@dragonyaya3274]

I got borrowed so fast

[@TheXavithebest]

Tom we say "Sono le nove di sera" non di notte . Bye!

[@TheXavithebest]

TornadoRG95 Infatti è quello che ho detto.. Cioé che si dice 9 di sera.

[@padremiguelarturojimenez9323]

Dear Carmentiert: It is better to say : he never taught me Italiano. With love, Fr. Miguel.+

[@heatherperleberg7816]

Sono means it is as well as are and am? Oof
