Hawk_McKrakken Looks more similar to Spanish to me... especially the pronunciation. The Italians and Spaniards made a good choice in sensible pronunciation. 3nodding Very true. French doesn't have one. sweatdrop

Eccentric Iconoclast So, here's something I've been wondering for a while. On music, you see f when you're supposed to play loudly, because f means forte (which means "strong"). And when you see ff, it means fortissimo. I get that; -issimo is the strengthening ending. But what happens when I see fff? The only thing I can think of would be fortissimissimo, and that would just be silly. mad D Actually, I've seen it get up to fffffff. Fortissimissimissimissimissimissimo?
fortissimissimo sounds very 'childish' to Italians xd
anyway, I don't know how they call the 'fff' sweatdrop

Hey! Hey's everybody doing? I've got a question... I was under the impression that 'please' in Italian was 'per favore'. However, I've been tuning into a 'Learn Italian Podcast', and they said something like 'der piacere'. Did I hear wrong, or am I simply pronouncing something wrong? confused

I'm pretty definate that should be a 'per piacere', not 'der piacere' :]
Per favore is more common, I think, but I've definately heard 'per piacere' as well :]

Mi scusi ma "Der" ? that sounds germanic to me. I thought so too, but the Rome people switches 'l' for 'r' sometimes. Anyway, 'per piacere' sounds about correct, I think I heard my mom say it, but I'm not sure. Don't know enough Italian for this discussion, bye! razz

Ciao. Mi chiami Maggie. Come sta?
Well thats all I know well but I really want to learn Italain because I am going to Italy in April.
The cities I am going to are Roma, Milano, Venice ,Florence ,and Pompeii.
I was wondering if you are saying I would like would it be "Vorrei..."
or " Mi vorrei...?"
Well I hope I can learn this great language and get to know the culture better in the next few months.
I think I am doing better than the rest of my class who are going as they probably don't care about trying to learn Itailan.
I have read this whole thread and it has helped a bit to try to understand.
Also If anyone can answer what are some similarites of French and Italian.
sounds/words
Grazie mille
