Who speaks Italian?

[redacted]

I am writing something that is discussing Italian wine.

At the end I want to say something in Italian like: Enjoy!

Any ideas?

[evlbstrd]

1. Italians speak Italian.

And some others. At the end, say, "Salut!"

[redacted]

4. Grazie!

[evlbstrd]

8. De Nada.

I don't think that's Italian, though.
I used to date an Italian woman. Her dad made great wine.
And never pronounce it "eye-talilan."

[HEyHEY]

34. Italians speka greek

[evlbstrd]

36. Hey, whotsa amotter fa you?

:evilgrin:

[Sabriel]

2. Um, Italians speak it, I think.

How about "forza!"?

[redacted]

5. I know what Salut means -- what's Forza?

[valis]

20. Forza = Force...

[samplegirl]

22. so what does

Stugotts mean? Saw it on a windshield at Pizza shop

[valis]

24. Not an Italian word... Or a badly misspelled one. I have no idea...

You see all sorts of mangled Italian words in the US...

[samplegirl]

30. I asked a friend

he didnt know but said it was on Tony Sopranos boat

[valis]

32. Could be a dialect... Not sure...

[Kathy in Cambridge]

37. Stugotts=Neapolitan slang for balls

[redacted]

23. Like may the force be with you? How does that apply to my quest?

Maybe I am just not getting it.

[valis]

26. You need to say "Salute!"... That is what you need...

"Forza: has nothing to do with it...
Note that it is spelled with an "e" at the end.

[redacted]

28. Thank you thank you thank you!

This is going on a commercial wine label actually. So I really appreciate it. I thought Salute might be OK, but not speaking the language, I was not sure if it was an actual Italian colloquial phrase. Or just an Americanism.

[valis]

31. Yup, "Salute!" is appropriate... In bocca al lupo! :)

[Jara sang]

3. I don't

:shrug:

[Floogeldy]

7. Mafia, spaghetti, Mama mia, lasagna, Bo fungoo, De Niro . . .

This isn't rocket science!

B-)

[valis]

6. Chiedimi qualsiasi cosa. Ti rispondero'.

[evlbstrd]

9. It looks good, but what's it mean?

I'm an ignorant, one-language Amurrican.

[valis]

13. Eh, non mi sorprende...

[evlbstrd]

16. That's it. I'm gonna learn Gaelic.

[redacted]

11. Google translation: You ask whichever thing to me. Rispondero you '.

That makes sense.

10. Ho dimenticato il mio italiano, pero

[valis]

12. Nooo! Come puoi dimenticare la tua lingua madre?

[qnr]

27. Learned it whle stationed there (well enough to help teach english to

the locals, and make a lot of friends). Unfortunately, that was in the 80's, and I've had no one to practice it with since then,

[FuzzySlippers]

17. Anch'io n/t

[valis]

18. Ciao! Skinner dovrebbe organizzare una sezione DU in italiano!

:D

[qnr]

29. I hate when that happens :/ n/t

[SOteric]

14. Salute, or all vostra salute

[valis]

15. Salute! Italiani all'estero, unitevi! :)

[smartvoter]

19. "When you're here, you're family." nt

[trackfan]

21. molti anni fa, durante l'impero romano....

always my favorite clause to introduce the use of the perfect tense...

[valis]

25. As somebody else said: "salute!"

That would be appropriate.

[sasquatch]
