(Don't be silly!) to express disbelief or amusement at someone's behavior. Here's how to use it: Sei uno sciocco se pensi che possa funzionare. Non fare il sciocco in pubblico. Il suo comportamento sciocco ha rovinato la festa.

scuola The Italian word 'scuola' is used to refer to an institution for educating children as well as a place where one can learn something. It can be used in sentences such as 'Vado a scuola' which means 'I go to school' in English. Here's how to use it: La nostra scuola è molto grande. Vado a scuola alle 8 ogni giorno. La mia scuola è vicino alla stazione.

Mentre mangiavo la cena, il telefono ha squillato. Mentre studiavo per l'esame, ho bevuto molto caffè.

Devi essere più chiaro quando parli.
