Hey guys! Welcome back to my podcast! We have reached the eightieth episode. Today, I'll teach you some alternatives to the word “Ok” in Italian. The word "ok" is often used in everyday conversations. For this reason, I decided to do this episode. All the alternatives you'll hear during the episode you can find them in the description of this episode. Take a look! Have a good time listening.

Alternatives to the word “Ok”:

Va bene / D’accordo

We can use these alternatives when OK is used as a reply to give approval, to agree, to reply affirmatively to a command or a request, by saying we are going to accomplish them, though without too much enthusiasm.

Certo / Altroché

We can use these alternatives in the same cases seen before, namely as a reply to a command or a request. Moreover, if they’re pronounced with a dynamic intonation, they emphasizes our enthusiasm in doing what we are asked to do.

Ho capito / Ha senso

These forms are used when we’re listening to some advice, a suggestion, a clarification or some explanations on how to do something and you want to prove you’re following the reasoning, that there’s no doubt and that the person can continue, maybe nodding and adding “Mh”

Perfetto / Abbiamo un accordo

These expressions are used to arrange something with someone, to tell that person that the idea seems good, that an agreement has been reached and the terms of which will be fulfilled. These expressions can be also accompanied by a handshake and they can be also combined.

Bene... / Allora... / Dunque…

We can use these forms when we’re about to talk, when we’re about to start a conversation.

Vabbè… / Fai come vuoi

These expressions are used when we want to finish a conversation, because it gets on our nerves or because we don’t want to hear anything anymore. Be careful when you use them because the other person might get angry.

Tutto bene / Tutto a posto

These alternatives replace “ok” when it’s used with “tutto” as a reply to “Come stai?” (How are you) or “Come va?” (What’s up).

Giusto / Non male / Perbene / A modo

We use these expressions to replace “ok”, when it’s used as an adjective to refer to something or someone that is fine, that’s not bad, all things considered.

Hi guys! Welcome back to my podcast! Following last week’s episode, where I taught you how to talk about weather in Italian, today I decided to teach you some expressions and idioms in relation to atmospheric events. All the expressions and idioms you'll hear during the episode you can find them in the description of this episode. Take a look! Have a good time listening.

Expressions and idioms:

1) PIOVE SEMPRE SUL BAGNATO (When it rains, it pours)

This expression is used to say that good things keep happening to lucky people and bad things keep happening to unlucky people.

So we can use this expression if, for example, a millionaire businessman wins the lottery or if a poor person is fined.

2) VEDERE LE STELLE (See stars)

Obviously we are not talking about the stars you can admire up in the sky… quite the opposite, actually! We use this expression when we experience a severe physical pain!

For example, if you are hanging a picture and you hit your finger with the hammer… Well… you are going to “vedere le stelle!”

3) ESSERE AL SETTIMO CIELO (Over the moon – On cloud nine)

This expression simply means that someone is extremely happy!

There is also another similar expression with the same meaning: “Toccare il cielo con un dito”

4) NON CI PIOVE! (There’s no doubt about it!)

We use this expression when we have no doubts about something, when we know something for sure!

For example, if you listen to my podcast your Italian is going to improve in a very short time! “Su questo non ci piove!”

5) AVERE LA LUNA STORTA (Be in a bad mood)

When we are ill-tempered, when we are nervous and we get easily angry… we have “la luna storta!”

We often say: “Oggi mi sono svegliato/a con la luna storta” (I woke up in a bad mood today!)

6) COME UN FULMINE A CIEL SERENO (Like a bolt from the blue)

If something happens come un fulmine a ciel sereno, it means that it was unexpected and it’s usually something negative!

If a company’s business is going extremely well and then, all of a sudden, sales decline drastically… the managers can say that this happened “come un fulmine a ciel sereno!”

7) AVERE UN COLPO DI FULMINE (Love at first sight!)

Although this expression might seem to refer to something negative, it is used to say that someone fell in love at first sight!

Ciao ragazzi! Bentornati nel mio podcast! Nella puntata di oggi, vi insegnerò come esprimere dubbi o incertezze in italiano. La prima parola che può venirci in mente è "Non lo so", questa è corretta! Però, dovete anche sapere che in italiano esistono diverse alternative per esprimere incertezze o dubbi. Ve le riporterò nella descrizione di questo episodio. Dateci un’occhiata! Buon ascolto.

Hi guys! Welcome back to my podcast! In today's episode, I'll teach you how to express doubts or uncertainties in Italian. The first word that can come to our mind is "Non lo so", this is correct! However, you should also know that in Italian there are several alternatives to express uncertainties or doubts. All the alternatives you'll hear during the episode you can find them in the description of this episode. Take a look! Have a good time listening.

All the ways to say “Non lo so” in Italian:

- Non ne ho idea (I have no idea)

To reinforce this expression, to underline that we really do not know something, we can also say “non ne ho la più vaga idea”, “non ne ho la più pallida idea” oppure “non ne ho la minima idea” (something like: “I don’t have the vaguest/slightest idea/clue”).

Example:

Dov’è il telecomando della televisione? Non ne ho idea, non ne ho la più pallida idea!

- Non ne sono sicuro/a (I’m not sure) or “Non ne sono certo a”.

Example:

La prossima estate andremo al mare? Non ne sono sicuro!

- Boh!

Example:

Chi ha suonato il campanello?! Boh, non lo so!

-Magari lo sapessi! (If I only knew!) or “A saperlo!” (Knowing that!) - Informal

Example:

Quali sono i programmi per la serata? A saperlo! Paola e Matteo non hanno ancora le idee molto chiare!

- Mi piacerebbe saperlo! (I wish I knew!)

Example:

Secondo te Andrea sarà libero questa sera? Mi piacerebbe tanto saperlo!

- Se lo sapessi, te lo direi! (If I knew, I’d tell you!)

Example:

A cosa serve questo oggetto? Se lo sapessi te lo direi!

- Ma che ne so! (But what do I know!)

Example:

Chi è il regista di questo film? Ma che ne so!

Hi guys! Welcome back to my podcast! In today's episode, I'll teach you how to talk about weather in Italian. This, can be a very important topic. It can be used in a lot of circumstances. For example, if you want to start a conversation with someone but you don't know how to start the conversation, you can talk about weather. All the expressions and examples you'll hear during this episode are in the description, take a look! Have a good time listening.

To start, the typical question to ask to someone in order to know what the weather is like where they are is:

CHE TEMPO FA? (What’s the weather like?)

We have different possibilities to answer this question:

1)  FA / FACEVA / FARÀ + adjective only with some adjectives, the most general ones)

Fa caldo / freddo (It’s warm / cold)

Fa bel / brutto tempo (Weather is nice / bad)

Example:

Mamma mia che brutto tempo fa oggi! (Oh my God, what a bad weather it is today!)

Finalmente fa caldo: non se ne poteva più del freddo! (Finally it’s warm: I couldn’t stand the cold weather anymore!)

2) È + adjective (specific for weather)

Oggi è piovoso! (Today it’s rainy!)

3) C’È / CI SONO + noun

C’è la pioggia! (There is rain!)

4) Verb

Piove! (It rains!)

Sta piovendo! (It’s raining!)

Let’s see all the nouns, adjectives, verbs and expression that we use to describe weather divided by seasons!

Winter

It's usually very cold, we can say that Italian winter is:

- Gelido (freezing)

- Si gela (It’s freezing)!

- Nevoso (snowy)

- Nevica (it snows)

- Bufera di neve or tormenta (blizzard)

- Piovoso (rainy)

- Pioggia (rain)

- Piove (it rains)

- Acquazzone (downpour)

- Lampi and tuoni (lightnings and thunders)

- Temporale (storm)

- Grandine (hail)

- Grandina (it hails)

In winter, there’s a lot of "vento" (wind)

- It’s ventoso (windy)

Spring

In Spring, weather is generally sereno or limpido (clear), the sky is blue. Clearly, it can also be soleggiato (sunny): there’s il sole (sun) or the sun splende (shines)! If the temperature is neither high nor low, then it’s mite (mild)! When it didn’t rain and air isn’t heavy, we’ll say that it’s secco (dry). But the best Spring day is that in which there’s a light and gentle brezza (breeze)!

Summer

In Summer it’s often umido (wet)… there’s l’umidità (humidity)! When it’s really warm, we generally say it’s torrido or afoso (sweltering), there’s a terrible afa (mugginess)! Fortunately, in Summer it’s also possible prendere il sole (to sunbathe) and abbronzarsi (to suntan). Hopefully not ustionarsi (to get burned)…

Autumn

Autumn is generally nebbioso (foggy), there’s la nebbia (fog). The wind blows hard and it’s often nuvoloso (cloudy), there are le nuvole (clouds). There is not heavy rain, but pioviggina (it’s drizzling), that is there’s una pioggia leggera (a light rain).

Ciao ragazzi! Bentornati nel mio podcast! Nella puntata di oggi, vi insegnerò delle alternative alle parole “Sì” e “No” in italiano. Le parole “Sì” e “No” sono molto utilizzate nelle conversazioni di tutti i giorni. Per questo motivo, ho deciso di fare questo episodio. Tutte le parole ed esempi che sentirete nel corso di questa puntata ve le riporterò nella descrizione. Dateci un’occhiata! Buon ascolto.

Hi guys! Welcome back to my podcast! In today's episode, I'll teach you some alternatives to the words "Sì" and "No" in Italian. The words "Sì" and "No" are used a lot in everyday conversation. All the expressions and examples you'll hear during this episode are in the description, take a look! Have a good time listening.

The alternatives to “Sì”

The little word “sì” is certainly one of the most common words in Italian and maybe the first that everybody learns. Obviously, the risk of using it too often, or becoming banal and monotonous, is real and it happens to many people. But actually, the alternatives to say “sì” are a lot.

Here are some of them:

1) “Certo” or “certamente”, which is more formal and less common:

–Hai fatto i compiti di italiano? Certo!

–Ha completato il lavoro che le avevo chiesto di svolgere? Certamente

2) "Assolutamente sì”.

-Credi che gli esercizi di grammatica siano utili? Assolutamente sì.

Be careful: the word “assolutamente”, alone, can mean both “sì” and “no”. Only the context can help us understand which meaning is the right one: usually, as an answer to an affirmative question, it means “yes”, otherwise, as an answer to a negative question, it means “no”.

For example:

–Sei d’accordo con me, vero? Assolutamente!” (in this case it means: yes)

–Non andrai alla festa di Marco? Assolutamente! (In this case it means: no)

3) “Senza dubbio” oppure “non ho dubbi”:

–Credi che Marco vorrà venire alla festa? Senza dubbio!

–E Marta? Non ho dubbi!

4) "Sicuramente”:

–Credi che la professoressa ci interrogherà oggi? Sicuramente!

5) "Per forza”:

–Vuoi una mano a trasportare quegli scatoloni? Per forza!

6) "Ovvio” or “ovviamente” (more formal).

For example:

–Sei andato alla festa di Chiara ieri sera? Ovvio!

–Ti è piaciuta? Ovviamente!

The alternatives to “No”

It’s the other very common word, even too much, that often turns out to be very boring and repetitive. But don’t worry, there are many ways to say “no”! For example:

1) "Non credo” or “non penso”:

–Angela ti chiamerà oggi? Non credo.

–Mio padre ti aiuterà? Non penso.

2) "Ne dubito”:

–Credi di aver passato l’esame? Ne dubito…

This word doesn’t exactly mean “no”, but it expresses uncertainty, a strong presentiment that something will not happen or that did not happen.

3) "Mi sa di no”:

–Sai se Chiara è partita per l’America? Mi sa di no…

Like the previous case, you can use this expression to show that you are not sure of something, but you have the feeling that the answer is negative.

4) "Temo di no”:

–Ti è arrivata la mail riguardante il nuovo progetto? Temo di no.

In this case, you are conveying not only negation, but also the fact that you are sorry for something, like saying: “I’m sorry, but unfortunately I didn’t got your email.”

5) "Neanche per sogno”, “non ci penso neanche” or “scordatelo”.

For example:

–Hai voglia di fare i compiti di italiano al posto mio? Non ci penso neanche!

–Ti va di cucinare? Scordatelo!

–Ti va di andare a correre? Nemmeno per sogno!

Ciao ragazzi! Bentornati nel mio podcast! Nella puntata di oggi, vi insegnerò come utilizzare gli aggettivi interrogativi ed esclamativi in italiano. L’argomento che affronteremo oggi è molto importante, è alla base dell’italiano. Mi raccomando, prestate molta attenzione all’episodio di oggi. In descrizione vi riporterò tutte le informazioni principali. Dateci un’occhiata! Buon ascolto.

Hi guys! Welcome back to my podcast! In today's episode, I'll teach you how to use interrogative and exclamative adjectives in Italian. Today's topic is so important, it is the basis of Italian. Please pay close attention to today's episode. In the description I'll report all the main information. Check it out! Have a good time listening.

- Interrogative adjectives allow us to ask a question about quality, quantity or identity of the noun we are referring to.

-Esclamative adjectives, instead, allow us to exclaim about quality, quantity or identity of the noun we are referring to.

In Italian, we have 3 (used both in questions and in exclamations):

- Che

- Quale

- Quanto

Let’s go into some more details:

- Che: is used to ask questions or exclaim about the identity of the noun it is refers to. Furthermore, it is  invariable both in gender and number.

- Quale: is used to ask questions or exclaim about the quality of the noun it refers to. It changes only in number.

- Quanto: is used to ask questions or exclaim about the quantity of the noun it refers to. It changes both in gender and number.

Interrogative function

In the interrogative form, "Che", "Quale" and "Quanto", with their relative plural and feminine forms, can be used in direct questions (= with a question mark “?” at the end of the sentence in writing, or a high-pitched voice at the end of the sentence in speaking) and in indirect questions (= requests in the form of statements rather than questions in order to be more kind).

Examples of direct questions:

- Che tempo farà domani? (What’s the weather going to be like tomorrow?)

- Quale vestito preferisci? (What dress do you prefer?)

- Quanto tempo ci resta? (How long do we have?)

Examples indirect questions:

- Vorrei sapere che tempo farà domani. (I’d like to know what tomorrow’s weather is going to be like)

- Dimmi quale vestito preferisci. (Let me know what dress you prefer)

- Mi piacerebbe essere informata su quanto tempo ci resta. (I’d like to be informed about how long we have)

Esclamative function

In the esclamative form, "Che", "Quale" and "Quanto" are generally used in sentences which have an exclamation mark “!” in writing, and more emphasis in speaking.

Examples of the esclamative form:

- Quanto freddo fa oggi! (How cold today is!)

- Che bugiardo che sei! (What a liar you are!)

- Quale onore parlare con lei! (What an honor to talk with you!)

Ciao ragazzi! Bentornati nel mio podcast! Nella puntata di oggi, vi insegnerò i diversi significati e i diversi utilizzi delle parole “Auguri”, “Congratulazioni” e “Complimenti”. Queste parole vengono usate spesso nelle conversazioni di tutti i giorni. Possono sembrare molto facili da utilizzare, in realtà, bisogna fare molta attenzione a come e quando utilizzarle. Per aiutarvi con la comprensione, vi trascriverò tutti i significati principali di queste parole nella descrizione, dateci un’occhiata!

-

Hi guys! Welcome back to my podcast! In today's episode, I'll teach you the different meanings and the different uses of “Auguri”, “Congratulazioni” and “Complimenti”. These words are often used in everyday conversations. They may seem very easy to use but you need to be very careful about how and when to use them. I'll report the expressions you'll hear in the description of this episode, take a look! Have a good time listening.

Auguri! (Best Wishes/Happy…)

This word is used:

1) during a personal recurring celebration (birthday, name-day, anniversary, ecc.) addressing the guests of honor

2) during a collective celebration (Christmas, Easter or New Year’s Eve) addressing all those present, indistinctly

3) during non-personal celebration (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, ecc.) addressing those who meet the criteria of the celebrated event

There’s another way to do the best wishes, namely following the structure: Buon/a/e (Happy/Merry) + name of the celebration (Buon compleanno (Happy Birthday), Buon Natale (Merry Christmas), Buona festa della mamma (Happy Mother’s day), ecc.)

We have two possibilities to reply:

- Grazie (Thank you): if the celebration is personale, since the guest of honor has to thank everyone for the received wishes

- Altrettanto (the same to you): if the celebration is collective, since we have to reciprocate the received wishes

Sometimes “Auguri” can also take an ironic and sarcastic nuance, especially in informal contexts. In fact, if someone tells us something they’re proud of, but that’s not important for us or we simply want to belittle it, “Auguri!” will have the value of : “Sì, ok, ma non mi importa” (Yeah, ok, but I don’t care)

Congratulazioni! (Congratulations!)

This word is used during a personal non-recurring celebration (wedding, the birth of a baby, etc.) addressing only those who are directly involved.

Keep well in mind that if the personal non-recurring celebration hasn’t occurred yet, we’ll use “auguri“ and not “congratulazioni!“. For example, if a friend of yours announces that’s getting married, using the word “auguri” would be like saying: “Spero che il tuo matrimonio vada bene!”(I hope your wedding goes well)

“Congratulazioni”, on the other hand, should be used, when the event has occurred, for example, if the friend just got married, so it would like saying: “Sono felice che tu ti sia sposato” (I’m happy you got married)

“Congratulazioni!” is also used when we want to exhibit, in a warm way, our complacency, our satisfaction, our joy to someone who has achieved a great goal or a great result thanks to their own skills and abilities, like a promotion at work or a degree.

Complimenti! (Well done/Bravo!)

This word is used to express our admiration for someone, for any reason, like a complex puzzle that has been completed or a picture nicely drawn. In addition, as a noun, it indicates the combination of words, attitudes that express appreciation, admiration or reverence towards someone. Usually, we compliment someone for their physical appearance or their character.
