[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that none of this is actual Italian, yes?[/quote]

you do realize that you sound elitist, yes?

I grew up speaking "slang Italian", which BTW should actually be labeled "dialect".  My parents emigrated to the US in the mid-60's from Southern Italy, and although they knew proper Italian they spoke mostly in Italian dialect around the house because that is what they were comfortable with.  That is how everyone from their non-elitist village spoke.  So that "slang Italian" is THEIR "actual Italian".

Every language has different dialects, so for you to try to make a point that just because it's slang (dialect) that its not the actual language is really ignorant on your part.[/quote]

OP is looking to recycle what she reads on an anon board.  So, both you and OP are wrong. I wish this thread would be deleted.  It is offensive. [/quote]

Absolutely right.[/quote]

+1. I can't believe anyone bothered to chime in and respond, given that OP shouldn't be using any of these words when speaking to anyone. She made it clear she isn't Italian, so she has no place to say any of these, to anyone. Going to report the thread because it shouldn't exist to begin with. [/quote]
