Ciao, English Friends!

Get ready to laugh and learn with our latest Italian lesson, featuring a hilarious joke ('Cosa fa una mucca in discoteca? Muuuuusica!') and essential vocabulary such as 'conseguenza', 'zucchero', 'medico', 'arrabbiato', and 'foto'.

conseguenza

The word 'conseguenza' in Italian is used in a similar way as 'consequence' in English. It refers to the result or effect of a particular action or situation. For example, 'The consequence of his actions was a loss of trust from his colleagues.' can be translated to 'La conseguenza delle sue azioni è stata una perdita di fiducia da parte dei suoi colleghi.'.

Here's how to use it:

  • La tua mancanza di pianificazione non deve diventare la mia emergenza conseguenza.
  • In conseguenza del temporale, il picnic è stato annullato.
  • Sto cercando di affrontare le conseguenze delle mie azioni.

zucchero

The Italian word for sugar is 'zucchero'. It is used in the same way as in English, to refer to the sweet, crystalline substance that is added to food and drinks. It is also used in the same way as in English to refer to sweetness or endearment. For example, you can say 'dolce come lo zucchero' which means 'sweet as sugar'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Mi piace il caffè con lo zucchero.
  • Dov'è lo zucchero?
  • Lo zucchero è dolce.

medico

The word 'medico' in Italian is an adjective that means 'medical'. It is used to describe things related to the field of medicine, such as medical equipment, medical procedures, and medical professionals. For example, you might say 'strumenti medici' to refer to medical instruments, or 'personale medico' to refer to medical staff. It can also be used as a noun to refer to a doctor, as in 'il medico'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Il mio medico dice che dovrei fare più esercizio.
  • Il medico ti vedrà ora.
  • Sono andato dal medico ieri.

arrabbiato

The Italian word 'arrabbiato' is used to express the state of being upset or angry. It can be used in a sentence like 'Sono arrabbiato con te' which means 'I am upset with you'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Sono molto arrabbiato con te.
  • Non voglio parlarti perché sono arrabbiato.
  • Quando diventa arrabbiato, preferisce stare da solo.

foto

The Italian word for 'photo' is 'foto'. It is used in the same way as in English, to refer to a picture that has been taken with a camera. Just like in English, 'foto' can be used to talk about both digital and physical photographs.

Here's how to use it:

  • Questa è la mia foto preferita.
  • Sto cercando una foto che ho scattato ieri.
  • Ho perso la foto che mi hai dato.
