Salve Serena:

I really appreciate your blog. I am at a frustrating stage in learning Italian. Often I know what all the words in a sentence mean and yet it makes no sense or it makes the wrong sense. Your posts teach me a lot more of what I need to know at this stage than many of my textbooks do. Thanks again.

Salve Vince, the expression “questa notte” followed by the past tense is normaly used in everyday language to mean “last night” instead of the more correct “la notte scorsa” (lit. the past night) or “ieri notte” (yesterday night). To say “tonight” we use the future tense: “questa notte piovera’” (tonight it will rain).
Auguri!

Ciao Cinzia! Si’, “strepitoso”, “micidiale” e “mitico” sono espressioni colloquiali, slang. “Mitico” non mi piace per niente, corrisponde piu’ o meno a “cool!” e mi sembra troppo da ragazzini o per uomini che non vogliono crescere. Qualche volta uso “strepitoso”.
Ciao e a presto!

Ciao Serena! Ho sentito spesso (a Bologna) l’aggettivo “strepitoso!” per dire “fantastic, great!” poi nel sud sento “micidiale” per dire “great, incredible, etc.” Ultimamente, sento spesso la parola “mitico”!
Tu quali di queste parole usi? Sono slang? Grazie in anticipo. Cinzia
