Italian Course Beginner Series 65: MUSICA! Video Lecture | Learn Italian Language: For Beginners and Travellers

hello and welcome to another Italian
tutorial my name is claudio and today we
talk about Italian words that you know
already and the topic today is music so
the subtopic is music so all these words
have to do with have something to do
with music something ok let's start from
this one a cappella a cappella is
pronounced a cappella and it means
exactly what it means in English just
the voice and no soundtrack Oprah Oprah
means exactly the same it's pronounced
or better or better concerto means
concert and is pronounced concerto
concerto this word is feminine and this
one is masculine we've we've had a look
at gender already so we know it but just
to make it clear this I think it's just
some sort of adverb okay a cappella is
the way you are singing so you're
singing with no soundtrack and and
that's about it so it doesn't really
make sense to talk about gender in this
case but this word opera is feminine and
this word is masculine so how do you say
a concert in Italian well you should
know because we've done indefinite
articles already so a concert we know
that the word for concert is concerto we
know that the the word is masculine
because it ends in R therefore the
singular masculine indefinite article is
una on concerto one concerto a concert
amazing
now duo is another word a fancy word for
couple or pal
same as English it's pronounced do or do
well remember that the Italian word for
two is do it so very similar do it do
what trio is well the group of three
same as an Italian do sotto voce
literally means whispering so if I say
something to you sort of vulture is the
equivalent of saying in English I
whispered something to you in Italian
you don't say I whisper something to you
you say I say something to you sort of
orchha so this acts as an adverb sort of
or chip I say something to you sort of
watch it means in a way that nobody else
can hear now tempo tempo I remember when
my American football coach used to tell
me come on Claudio high tempo high tempo
now tempo is pronounced tempo tempo and
it means time in Italian it didn't mean
it just means time dimple and it also
means weather now
this sentence is very common now the
word call me the word common is the
interrogative adverb how how literally
how okay and in this case we get rid of
the final e because the next word in
this case is just a letter but the next
word also is begins with E well it's
just e so calm air ah we've seen it in
the first video we've seen it already it
means is in Italian is the verb to be
conjugated in the third-person singular
so calm air and this is an acute accent
not an apostrophe so the first one is an
apostrophe and the second one is an
acute accent so you have comment comment
this means how is it and the object is
the weather because tempo tempo means
time but it also means weather and
because it's masculine you know we have
the masculine definite article in we've
seen them already if you don't know them
go and watch the video on definite
articles you will find that the singular
masculine case is ill so in tempo
command in tempo this means how is the
weather and it's a very common sentence
you know it's very it's very common to
hear this dis in everyday conversations
okay guys so we we've had a look at all
these words I'm pretty sure you know
most of them already if not all of them
I will see you guys in the next video
take care and see you soon
