Today, let's explore a word that is frequently used by Italians: "magari." The word "magari" can be somewhat confusing for learners because it has multiple meanings. In this lesson, I will clarify these meanings and show you how to differentiate between them so you can use "magari" accurately in your Italian conversations.

One of the great things about your teaching is the split screen with the typed words on the left. This helps me immensely because I learn very strongly through reading. Thanks for your help with Italian!

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

I'm so glad you like my teaching style, Tom! I try to use the same techniques I use with my students and that they find helpful 😉

[@joebloggs619]

If you speak Spanish, 'Magari' is used like 'Ojala' in Spanish.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Buono a sapersi!

[@gimusk5667]

This is the best channel to learn Italian! It has helped me so much, grazie mille!

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Grazie a te, Gim! 😊

Grazie mille! 👍 Ciao Bella.🙏

[@paolazuffinetti]

What's so interesting about your videos is that an English-speaking person can learn Italian and an Italian can learn English. I'll keep watching. And... A HUGE THANKS! 👌👏👌👍

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Grazie a te, Paola! I never thought of it in that perspective, but I'm really glad if this can help my fellow Italians! 💚🤍❤️

[@critogni]

Excellent examples! Thank you!

[@annarae2396]

I tend to use magari more than forse and probably use it where I shouldn't. It is, for some reason, easier for me to remember magari. I often say it when someone asks me if I have the right change or just a general maybe.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Molto interessante, Anna! Yes, in those situations we wouldn't actually use "magari". As I explain in the video, it's mostly used for the specific case of proposing/suggesting something.

[@saminail9183]

Thank you so much. You are great 👍

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

❤

[@aviadilo]

Could you also do a video on "comunque"? I hear it a lot when Italians speak to each other, but it seems in most cases not to have the standard dictionary meaning of "anyway". Is it just a more elaborate way of saying "ma"?

[@davidcarroll5686]

Brilliant explanation

Grazie mille Valentina, questo Video su Magari è veramente utilissimo….👍👍🙏🙏🙏🌻

Sono felice che ti sia piaciuto, Veronika! ❤

[@nettuno07]

Great lesson, viewers can practice by listening to Peppino Di Capri song MAGARI

[@mariacrivell79]

Tu sei the best insegnante!!

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

😄 Grazie, Maria!

[@stipe3124]

I did always think that Magari means perhaps but it is i bit confusing that it is also "I wish" For example Do you wish to go to holiday? You can answer I wish (i can't but i want to go) It is almost confusing as "Kako da ne" in my language which can be somthing like "Yes for sure" or "No way" depending on the way you say it, literal translation to English is "How yes no 😂" Forse seems much more clear than Magari in terms of meaning. Perhaps (I am not sure if i can go but if there is a chance i will go) So both can be "Magari"

[@beatricelundgren9096]

Grazie Mille Vallentina I always love your videos and love ti listen to you even though O font learn so qickly But I understand some words❤️

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Brava, Beatrice!

[@gaviano7]

[@MrYorickJenkins]

Bene explicata grazie. E vero che per stranieri la parola magari es un po complicata.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Sì, è una parola molto particolare

[@huhtxn]

grazie signora Valentina, sto imparando a parlare italiano e i tuoi video sono molto utili (from Google translate)

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Molto bene, Timothy!

[@huhtxn]

@@ItalianTeacherValentina What tips do you have for reading Italian stories. I listen to Italian conversations, music, "shadow" repeat phrases and words, I try reading along as I listen to Italian. But when I try reading with no sounds or repeat phrases I struggle. I watched your video on Italian alphabet and sounds and I repeat after you pronounce sounds. Very challenging.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

@@huhtxn It is definitely very challenging. I actually have a dedicated video on this exact topic, you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJOXap9jhNV5lc0

[@huhtxn]

@@ItalianTeacherValentina grazie mi eserciterò

[@darashanakalpana6028]

Could u plz upload 3 videos in same week.

[@davidtiffin9828]

Is forse an acceptable substitue is all 3 meanings? Thank you for another video!

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Unfortunately not, David. As I explain in the video, forse=magari only in the first case.

[@aries2750]

Grazie mille per l'informazione sulla parola MAGARI, l'avevo sentita ma sapevo solo che significava "perhaps ", ora conosco altri significati

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

❤

[@chadb7694]

What is the name of the best monolingual Italian dictionary (like Larousse in French or Websters in USA) and is Mondadori the best bookstore to find books (like easy level and italiano per stranieri)? Grazie.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

The one I've always used is "Lo Zingarelli". As for bookstores, all the big chains I think carry them (Mondadori, Feltrinelli, etc)

[@rondamon4408]

Troppo significati

[@thecarspins]

Do you have a video on the Subjunctive? Magari!!!

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

ahah, brava Theresa! (will make one in the future)

[@angelabrentz2758]

[@xiscodm]

For the third usage of magari, you stated that it must be used with the subjunctive, but you instead used the past perfect subjunctive in your example. Which tense should I use?

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

I intentionally referred to the subjunctive mode in general, as many of my followers are beginners and not familiar with it. The subjunctive mode consists of 4 tenses (present, past, imperfect and past perfect). For the third usage of magari we usually use the past perfect subjunctive.

[@dlgis]

Is there a danger when using Magari that the person asking the question will not know whether the answer is an enthusiastic “perhaps” or a definite “I would love to “? Darryl (complete beginner!)

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Buona domanda, Darryl! Although it could be possible, it's not very likely. We use "magari" as "peraphs" mostly when we are proposing something, and "magari" as "I'd wish/I'd love to" when replying enthusiastically to someone else's proposal or statement. Also the tone and the context will make it more clear.

[@josephluccarelli7348]

Grazie per avermi reso uno studente Migliore. Giuseppe.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Grazie di cuore a te, Giuseppe, per questo bellissimo commento 😊

[@nikkon7759]

In Greek we have the word μακάρι(makari) which means i wish ,grazie.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Molto interessante! We own a lot of words to the wonderful Greek language and culture

[@aliannacone4782]

Magari, 🤔 se solo avessi visto questo video prima.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

😄 ❤

[@Sommerchan]

It is exactly the same meaning and usage in Greek language Magari in Greek is Makari.❤ I love your lessons, you look more Greek than Italian.🌹.......Una Faccia, Una Razza.

[@yogibear5321]

I wonder…which one was first Greek makari or Italian magari…

[@happy-ka34]

La ringrazio molto per il video😊.can you please make a video on 'ne' pronoun.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

❤

[@dreznik]

msgari u spoke italian 100%

[@yiannishadjiloizou5501]

Ιn greek "magari" means only "wish"

[@tatumergo3931]

The origin of the word is actually Greek, it does exist also in Spanish as magare and it has the same meaning as in Italian but it's no longer use.

[@yiannishadjiloizou5501]

What do u use instead​@@tatumergo3931

[@macondoxon]

Do you want me to sudy english?

[@costaszogas1807]

Secondo me, e non sono un esperto, magari trasmette un certo grado di incertezza o incapacità di fare qualcosa che vorrei fare. Not found in English.

[@mooganstooker2419]

Why does this language insist on making speaking it as complicated as possible?

[@amazijn]

It is in the Italian DNA to make things complicated rather than easy... 😉

[@borutjurciczlobec9302]

Prevzeto iz ben. it. magari ‛čeprav’. V južnejših it. narečjih in tudi v knjiž. jeziku je magari medmet, ki izraža močno željo ali upanje. To je izposojeno iz gr. makári ‛da bi le’. Beseda je izpeljanka iz gr. mákar, makários ‛srečen, blažen, svet’. Izhodiščni pomen si lahko predstavljano *‛če Bog (ali svetnik) tako hoče’ (CZ, 699).
