Italian Course Beginner Series Lesson 34: Dialogue 2 Video Lecture | Learn Italian Language: For Beginners and Travellers

hello my name is Claudio and this is the
dialogue number two
welcome to another Italian tutorial this
one is not an actual tutorial we are
basically going to review what we've
covered in the previous videos through a
dialogue ciao ciao this is a common way
of saying hi in Italian it also means
goodbye as you can see it's also the
very last word of this dialogue Casa I
fat though I Capelli now this is a
question you can understand it's a
question because of the question mark
because of the intonation and also
because it begins with what which is an
interrogative adverb when who why what
these are all interrogative adverbs and
we've covered them in a video called the
five W's causa this means what I thought
though this means you have done it's
present perfect second person singular
you have done - I fought oh the subject
is always omitted in Italian what have
you done to your hair
now hair is Capelli actually in Italian
the word for hair is Capello so
basically here we have the plural why do
we have the plural we have the plural
because in Italian when you say hair you
mean
just one hair but when you want to talk
about your hair in general like my hair
is long then you say all my hairs are
long so you use the plural form to mean
all the hairs so literally this question
can translate in what have you done to
your hairs but in English what you would
say is what have you done to your hair
Oh fat Oh Trotta mento now tratamiento
is treatment and it's masculine
that's why it ends in O and you have the
indefinite article here in its masculine
form as expected
oh factor is the same verb that we have
here conjugated in the first person
singular so I factor is you have done o
Fatah is I have done go and watch the
video on the verb to have a VA quando
quando simply means when when when have
you done it
Dominica Dominica means Sunday lateral
area
scusa ele so the reply is Sunday the day
before yesterday I'm sorry
yesterday so basically she realizes
right away that Sunday is the day before
and not two days before basically the
day before yesterday and the day after
tomorrow have very particular names that
you have to learn the day before
yesterday is a ultra Yeti and the day
after tomorrow is topo domani so you
don't translate literally you don't say
ill giorno prima the Yeti
the day before yesterday you say Ladra
yay
scusa sorry
Yeti yesterday say Contenta this means
are you happy if you don't know why you
have say here you have to watch the
video on the verb to be say you are this
is the verb to be in the present tense
second-person singular say Contenta
Contenta means happy or content and
basically contento is the masculine form
of the same adjective see this is yes in
Italian
notice the acute accent at the very end
cosa fight domani Casa is something we
have come across in this very dialogue
already what Phi to Phi you do so what
do you do tomorrow
domani tomorrow Vado al maraa paddle is
the verb to go in the present tense
first person singular I go and it's
irregular he goes Avada to by louisvil
Leyva
no II Andiamo voy indata Laura van no
pod Oh al
moire moire means c to the c al to the I
go to the C basically on the beach stay
and and o space so this is the same verb
the verb to go and are in the present
continuous second person singular to to
stay and and oh we have a video on the
present continuous as well as one on the
present perfect if you don't know
how they work Spitzer is an adverb and
it means often so this question means
are you going often meaning are you
going often to the beach the reply is si
yes ma ma is a linking word and we've
also covered linking words in a previous
video and it means but so yes but Smith
taro in una settimana Smith taro is an
example of the verb Smith did a an edit
type verb in the future simple first
person singular so ile Smith taro I will
stop it means stop I will stop in una
settimana in a week settimana is weak
and it's feminine so you have the
feminine indefinite article here yes but
I will stop in a week in a week time I
will stop going to the beach very often
unque you this means me to be any cual
el tor no matter okay so this means fine
good what is your number as you can see
there's no wat in here so we don't have
cause that air but we have qualit a and
of course because you have two E's close
to one another one of them has to go
away and you substitute it with an
apostrophe while air koala
so koala means which as opposed to Caza
that means what koala at means it is
it's the third person singular of the
verb to be literally in Italian you say
which one is your number literally which
one is the number that is yours
the number Ella that's why you use Ella
the definite article if there was one
that would be very weird
it would mean what's one of your numbers
and a question like that wouldn't make
sense okay at zero zero threat Nova now
all the Italian mobile numbers begin
with three and of course if you call
from abroad you have to put the Italian
code which is double zero three nine
Camero I will call this is the future
simple of the verb key amar a llamar a
it's an added type verb so he goes arrow
in the first person singular and this is
exactly what you have key I made up our
we'll call okay ciao
okay goodbye I'll see you later okay
this was a bit of a weird dialogue but I
just wanted to squeeze in all the
grandmother we've covered in the past
videos and as you can see things that
you've got to take away from these
videos are the fact that Italians do not
use the past simple the fact that you
have different ways of saying the day
after tomorrow and the day before
yesterday and also the fact that you
don't ask for someone's number by simply
asking what is your number you say which
one is the number that is yours
so this dialogue was a lot harder than
the first one I recommend you go back if
you're confused or going watch the
videos from scratch if this is the first
video that you happen to watch I hope
you have enjoyed it and found it helpful
if you have any question post a comment
down below and I'll try to help or
somebody else will try to help I wish
you good luck and I will see you in the
next video until then take care
