Nacqui in Italia ma la mia famiglia ed io ci trasferimmo negli stati uniti quando avevo solomente due anni. Per questo sono una schiappa in italiano! Spero che io possa trovare qualcuno e fare un po' di conversazione. Voglio imparare sia l'italiano che il dialetto veneto! I was born in Italy but I came to the US when I was only 2. I am completely incompetent in Italian and I am hoping to find someone to make conversation with.

    Haha hai sentito quella parola in una canzone di Nickelback? "Someway, somehow, we're gonna make it alright but not right now, I know you're wondering when..." Forse non sono un esperto di inglese, ma te lo giuro che parlo davvero un ottimo inglese!!! Ecco dei esempi: (attenzione: Mi rendo conto che queste traduzioni sono le peggiori!) "There must be someway out of here" ="dev'essere una via di scampo" (non dire "somehow" in questo contesto) "Somehow I got myself into this mess" ="In qualche modo mi sono messo nei guai" (non dire "someway" in questo contesto) "There must be someway to do it!" ="Dev'essere un modo di farlo!" (non dire "somehow" in questo contesto) "Somehow you screwed up again!" ="In qualche modo hai incasinato di nuovo!" (non dire "someway" in questo contesto) Che dire? Boh, non lo so! "Somehow" e "someway" sono due avverbi che signifcano la stessa cosa, ma non e' giusta usarle in certi contesti. Non so la grammatica di inglese! Fammi sapere se trovi una risposta giusta alla tua domanda!

    Translating Italian Punk Rock Lyrics I'm having a tough time translating the chorus to one of my favorite punk rock songs. WARNING: THIS IS PUNK AND IT IS OFFENSIVE. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT DON'T READ ANY FURTHER. (ATTENZIONE: SE SEI UN PERBENISTA NON LEGGERE QUESTA DOMANDA!) Ecco: "Senti la tua verità ma come puzza dosi di meschinità ma quanto basta tra qualche anno chissa come cambierai lasciami stare io so già chi sei giudica sta storia dai giudicala come vuoi giudica sta storia dai giudicala come sei se io fossi come te mi sparo in bocca signorino tutto punk ma con la firma e in tutto questo la coerenza dove sta è dentro il cesso ma sei tu che vuoi giudica sta storia dai giudicala come sei giudica sto cazzo dai tu colpisci ma non fai male no tu potevi sezionarmi e poi insinuare sul mio passato ma chi ha detto che la tua parola io l’ascolterò" Ho capito quasi tutto tranne il ritornello. Giudica sta storia dai? Cosa vogliono dire?

    Crucial Questions for Native Italian Speakers (part 2) This question is intended for people who are fluent in English and Italian. You know who you are. Time to put your skills to the test. I want to be able to say the following phrases in Italian: "Grappa comes in two flavors: Palatable and Gasoline. Choose wisely." "Do you think I have a shot at getting in as an act to this year's San Remo Music Festival?" "They banned smoking in all the bars? What's next? No drinking and no talking?" "Why are all the people here so skinny and attractive? Jesus I feel like a bridge troll. Everyone is looking at me like they can't safely pass my way without answering three questions." "My country exports our crappy food to your country. For some reason you seem not to mind. Soon we will be exporting our economy. I don't think that you'll be so chipper then." "While we're on the topic of exportation, how come obtaining illegal drugs is a cinch here in America but I can't find Grapello anywhere? What is this world coming to?"

    Now there's a toughie. And here's where I drop the bomb: Most native English speakers can't understand Shakespeare. The language of his time was ornate, sophisticated, and contained references that baffle some scholars today (Who the hell was Yorick anyway?). Your best bet is to get an annotated edition in English. The plain English will be on one side of the page, the Shakespearean English on the other. It's a funny coincidence that you mention "Hamlet". My wife and I saw the film "Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead" last night. It's an existentialist comedy on the two minor characters in Hamlet. That, too, was difficult to understand. The crux of it, I suppose, is that life---like plays---only has one ending: death. And this affects everyone, from kings and queens and dukes to nobodies like Rosencrantz and Gildenstern. Not an uplifting film or a date movie but worth watching all the same.

    That's not an invitation. That is a pathetic and desperate man looking for a date on a site that is not designed for dated. Buttalo fuori! Kick him to the curb! Seriously, alert a site administrator about this. It's inappropriate and counter-productive to what this site is intended for.
