Hi guys, I am Desiree and today we are going to do the top 25 Italian nouns.

The imperative

To-infinitive

Cosa “Thing”. Cosa means thing. So you can use it to ask

about something you don’t really know the name of like Che cosa è quello? what’s

that thing but in Italian, it is really useful because you can use it when you don’t understand

what someone said like Cosa? what, can you repeat it? That’s the meaning of cosa. Also

you can use it to say in different situation like what are you going to do tonight Cosa

farai stasera? or Cosa ti piace mangiare? what do you like to eat?

Anno “Year”. Anno means year and you can use it to ask

Uomo “Man”. Who is that man? Chi è quell'uomo? That man

Giorno “Day”. Giorno means day and you can use it to know

which day of the week are you in like Che giorno è oggi? which day is it today Lunedi

or you can say Buongiorno that means good day or good morning.

Volta “Time”. Volta means time like let me pay this time

Fai pagare me questa volta. or once upon a time C’era una volta... . Also we have a

way of using that but it’s a bit scary like I remember my teacher saying to me Questa

volta passi, ma la prossima... and this is not a good sign anyway. So it means this time

it is okay but the next one... and they don’t finish the phrase that it’s the most scary

thing. But be careful not to use volta asking for what time is it because that’s a different

Casa “Home”. Casa can be big or small but the best thing

is when people tell you that your casa is accogliente that means that they feel that

they are home even if it’s not. So you can say do you want to come to my home tonight

Parte “Part” Parte means part. So it can be the first part

of a movie La prima parte di un film. or when you take part in something, so some kind of

Vita “Life”. Vita means life. Life is beautiful La vita

e bella. or if you say Vita mia! it would be like you are my life.

Tempo “Weather”. Tempo means weather but be careful because

tempo also means time but in this case, it means weather. So Il tempo è bello oggi.

Donna “Woman”. Donna means woman and what kind of woman would

you like to be Che tipo di donna vorresti essere? talking about me, I am the kind of

woman who likes shoes. Sono il tipo di donna a cui piacciono le scarpe.

Mano “Hand”. Mano means hand and La mia mano è grossa.

my hand is big or my hand is small. La mia mano è piccola. In Italian, you can ask for

a girl’s hand. That means if she wants to marry you. So Posso avere la tua mano? can

I have your hand Posso avere la tua mano?

Occhio “Eye”. Occhio means eye. My eyes are blue I miei

occhi sono blu. but we use it also to say watch out. So if you are in the street and

a car is coming and people will say Occhio! that means watch out!

Ora “Time”. Ora means time and you use that to ask what

time is it. Che ora è? or you can also hear people saying Che ore sono?. So in the plural

way but the meaning is the same. Ora also means now. Something that is happening right

now. So are we going? Yes Stiamo andando? Si. When? Quando? Ora. it’s strong. A strong

Signore “Mister”. Signore means mister. So you use that with

people that you don’t really know, maybe you can say Mi scusi signore! Excuse me Mr.

and then add your info that you need to know. Even if it’s not the same in English, in

Italian, if you see Signore written with a big S, it can refer to God.

Paese “Country”. Paese means country and when people ask you

Da che paese vieni? where are you from, even if they don’t mention the word paese it

still means where are you from, which country are you from. Also we have a way of saying

that Paese che vai, usanza che trovi. it means country you go, tradition that you find. So

basically it means that every country has its own culture.

Momento “Moment”. Momento means moment. So can you wait a moment

please Puoi aspettare un momento per favore?

word Come dici questa parola? Also in Italian, if someone is not talking anymore, you can

ask them, did you lose your words, Hai perso la parola?

Padre “Father”. Padre means father. For example, my father

is a judo teacher Mio padre è un insegnante di judo it’s fun to do sports with my father

E' divertente fare sport con mio padre. If you are talking with your dad, you would say

Punto “Point” Punto means point but for us, it’s more

like dot, because we are refer it to what you put at the end of the phrase, but if you

are discussing something, you can say, the point is Il punto è... when you would say

we are done in English. In Italian, it can be Punto. that’s it Basta, non voglio più

parlarne. Punto. stop it, I don’t’ want to talk anymore, that’s it.

Lavoro “Job”. Lavoro means job. So what’s your job? Qual

è il tuo lavoro? I work at the airport. So Il mio lavoro è all'aeroporto.

Stato “State”. Stato it means state has two meanings. The

first one can be Sono in uno stato pietoso. that means like I am in a really bad state,

don’t look at me. I just finished my daily jogging and just the state I’m in. The second

one is where do you come from, so which state are you from. Il mio stato è l'Italia. So

Caso “Case”. Caso means case and here too, we have different

meanings. The first one can be by accident, so by chance. We met by chance L'ho incontrato

per caso. or case like it depends case by case Dipende caso per caso. and the last one

it can be I didn’t pay attention Non c'ho fatto caso. I am not sure about that, I don’t know.

town do you come from? Or also - La mia città e al nord dell'Italia. My city is in the north of Italy.
