Christmas lights in Milano 😍

Ciao!

Have you ever heard the saying 'A promise is a promise'? In Italian, they say 'Ogni promessa è debito.' This issue is packed with fun ways to remember new Italian words like 'ragazza' (girl), 'tortilla' (yes, it's the same!), 'politica' (politics), 'rimanente' (remaining), and 'interno' (internal). Let's dive into the world of Italian together!

Ragazza

Use this term to refer to a young female person. It can also be used to refer to a girlfriend.

Here's how to use it:

  • Questa è la ragazza che fa il cinema.
  • La ragazza ha recensito il film.
  • La ragazza ha adorato il film.

tortilla

This word is the same in both Italian and English. In Italian, 'tortilla' is used to refer to a type of thin, flat bread made from finely ground maize (corn) or wheat flour. Originally derived from the Spanish word, this term is used widely in Italian cuisine to refer to dishes where this bread is a main ingredient.

Here's how to use it:

  • Vorrei una tortilla per cena, per favore.
  • La tortilla è un piatto popolare in molti paesi.
  • Hai mai provato a fare una tortilla a casa?

politica

In Italian, the word 'politica' is used similar to English 'policy'. It often refers to a course or principle of action proposed or implemented by a government, party, business, or individual. Just like in English, 'politica' can also pertain to the activities associated with governance, especially the debate among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.

Here's how to use it:

  • La politica è una professione difficile.
  • Il mio amico studia politica all'università.
  • Non sono interessato alla politica.

rimanente

The Italian word 'rimanente' is the equivalent of the English word 'remaining'. It is used to describe something that is left over or still available after something else has happened or been used. For example, 'There are only three remaining tickets for the concert.' could be translated to 'Ci sono solo tre biglietti rimanenti per il concerto.'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Il tempo rimanente è di cinque minuti.
  • Dobbiamo usare il denaro rimanente con saggezza.
  • La speranza rimanente è che qualcuno venga a salvarci.

interno

The Italian word 'interno' is used to describe something that is inside or within a space, object, or system. It can refer to the internal aspects of a building, such as the internal layout or internal decorations. It can also be used to describe internal organs, internal thoughts, or internal workings of a machine. In a broader sense, it can refer to the internal affairs of a country or organization.

Here's how to use it:

  • L'auto ha un interno in pelle.
  • Lei lavora nell'interno del dipartimento.
  • Il libro offre una profonda riflessione sull'interno della società.
