  6. I would like____ Vorrei… • This is a more polite way of saying “I need…”

  7. Che ore sono? • Italian for, “What time is it?” • This is an important question to ask if you are trying to catch a train, plane, or bus!

  8. Numbers count! • One = Uno (oo-noh) • Two = Due (doo-ay) • Three = Tre (tray) • Four = Quattro (kwah-troh) • Five = Cinque (cheeng-kway) • Six = Sei(sehee) • Seven = Sette(seht-tay) • Eight = Otto (oh-toh)

  11. When does this open / close? “A cheoraapre / chuide?” • In Italy, places are open at odd times and only remain open for 5-6 hours per day.

  12. A ticket un biglietto(oonbeel-yay-toh) • In Italy, it is likely that you will ride many trains and busses, so buying tickets will happen often.

  13. Enough! Basta! • Italians will continue to feed you until you tell them you’ve had enough! So when you’re full, just say “basta”

  14. I like that! Mi piace! (meepeeah-chay) • Italians take great pride in their food and drink. So if you like something, just tell them “Mi piace”!

  15. How much is it? Quantocosta? • Italy is an expensive country, so you’ll want to know how much you’re spending on something before you buy it!

  16. The bill, please ilconto, porfavore • Eating out in Italy is a great experience, but can be expensive. When you’ve ordered enough food, politely ask for “ilconto”

  17. Where is the restroom? Dov’e la toilette? (doh-vehlahtwah-leht-tay) • Restrooms are not as large or accessible in Italy as they are in the U.S., so get used to asking this question.

  18. Bless you! Salute! • This is a fun word to say when someone sneezes!

  19. Which terminal? Quale terminal? • If you plan to travel throughout Europe, you’ll have the chance to see many airports, but seeing so many new airports can be confusing.

  20. Arrival & Departure Arrivo & Partenza • These are very common words in airports, train stations, and bus stops.

  21. Introduce Yourself! My Name is ____. = Mi chiamo_____. • Don’t be a stranger in Italy…The people are very friendly!
