Buon giorno, mi chiamo re-peaaat

Goodbye is not Ciao, in italian Goodbye is Addio, or Arrivederci

Ciao is informal

Salve is formal

[salvatograsso86]

@sandrodream2 In Italian, "Goodbye" according to the context and used as interjection (beyond "Addio" and "Arrivederci") is also "Ciao"; as you can see on the Wordreference dictionary.

You are just confirming what I said in the video: "Ciao" is informal; that's correct.

I didn't mention "Salve" yet, and yes, this is formal; you're right.

[morochamendoza]

Hi, Salvatore your video is very good! thanks for help me.. ;-)

[salvatograsso86]

@morochamendoza Ciao, what you said encourages me indeed. Thank you!

[MsIvargas]

[sandrapatatina]

[salvatograsso86]

@sandrapatatina Grazie a te! I'm really happy that you liked it!

[DecisiveOdst117]

thank you this is a benissimo video

[salvatograsso86]

@DecisiveOdst117 Thank you! In the case shown in this video, “Benissimo!” (Very good!) is an interjection, and it is not used to modify a noun. It is incorrect to say a "benissimo video"; instead, you should say: an "ottimo video" since ottimo (very good) is an adjective.

[breasthound]

[salvatograsso86]

I don't think that he is speaking to those who have no concept of the Italian Language as though we are stupid....in fact repetition and going slowly helps to reinforce the word being learned. I appreciate this lesson. I am hoping to pick up quite a bit just because I would love to speak Italian and French.

[salvatograsso86]

@HearNSee1 Thank you indeed.

[tshburns]

He speaks like we are idiots....how can you give translation to the same word 3 times in a raw????????

[salvatograsso86]

@tshburns This video is aimed at those who know nothing about Italian. I think it is essetial to listen the same expressions many times in order to learn them. Of course if you're an Intermediate or advanced learner, you'll find this video quite boring.

[tshburns]

@salvatograsso86 No,not at all.I don't know a word of italian,actually.And I still think the same way.

[niawest]

Thank you for posting, this is very helpful!

[salvatograsso86]

@niawest You're welcome. I'm glad for what you said!

[krislee1982]

LOL I LOVE the Italian language and have been obsessed with all things Italian since I was little...My besf friend of over 40 yrs is pure bread Italian and although this is really hard I know way more than she does. ; ).

I can say the above posts but I'll be dadgummed if I know what most of it translates to. Thanks for posting Italian lessons. I am working on earning a trip to Italy Jan 2012 with the Winery I work for and I want to be able to talk to the Italian people properly.

[salvatograsso86]

@krislee1982 I'm really happy you love the Italian language and all things Italian. Because of your passion, I'm sure you' re going to learn the language very quickly. Thank you for watching!

[meramrmr2008]

[salvatograsso86]

@meramrmr2008 Mille grazie a te!

[aiUqoh]

..haha wrong spelling pala ako ^^

[salvatograsso86]

@aiUqoh Your "grazie" was almost perfect. It is great you started practicing.

[vivi80697]

ciao, io sono italiana e devo dire che questo video è fatto abbastanza bene ma secondo me dovrebbe essere sviluppato in italiano, perchè è proprio ascoltando la pronuncia che la gente impara le lingue, quindi dovresti farlo totalmente in italiano, perchè la pronuncia è molto importante byeeeee

[salvatograsso86]

@vivi80697 Ciao, grazie per il tuo commento costruttivo; avevo già avvertito l'esigenza di parlare esclusivamente in italiano e tu adesso me ne dai conferma. Nei miei prossimi video sui verbi Italiani, coniugherò questi scrivendoli sia in italiano che in inglese, ma non dirò una sola parola inglese. Grazie ancora, ciao, ciao.

[vivi80697]

@salvatograsso86 per così poco??? ahaha Non c'è di che.:):)

[aiUqoh]

.. its so very helpful to me ^^ gratzie ^^

[sapphireangels7]

Nice vid. Thanks for posting.

[salvatograsso86]

@sapphireangels7 Thank you!

[MsPeace89]

It is kind of easy to learn when you already speak Spanish because there somewhat similar in some was. Very good video!

[salvatograsso86]

@MsPeace89 I'm glad you liked it; thanks!

[JordyMegaman]

si, ok, ma parli inglese molto lentamente XD

[salvatograsso86]

@JordyMegaman Si, però l'importante, comunque, è che qualcuno impari qualche espressione di italiano con questo video.

[SuperSharu]
