I think the first thing I as a foreigner nowadays recognise is the ease of starting a conversation. I am in summer school and many people from Europe are participating. Only Italian start a conversation first and they are willing to share ideas. I should say, love and respect these people.
Thank you so much!
Italians from the south were more open and warm, because those from the north don't like to even breathe next to them 😅
You have written words of truth, good observation. Grazie, saluti dall'Italia!
@@brunaizzo7703that's no true. I am Italian from the south, I married aman from the north from friiuli good people come from different places of the country. Italian's are friendly, helpful, and ready to share, start a conversation and much more. I have family in Milano, Calabria, friiuli, and friends as well.
Absolutely agree with you! I had the same experience in Italy. The whole group was of Italian native speakers but all of them tried to start a conversation and discuss several topics with me. I didn't feel excluded actually the opposite I felt very welcomed. A lot of people say it's hypocrisy and the Italians don't really care but I don't agree. I think Italian people as general are very warm and friendly and they love to communicate and share with others.
Let me say it directly…
I’ve traveled to so many places! So many countries… i’m from saudi..
I’m 30 now!
The only friends that I got now. Are italians..
italians are easy to run a conversation with.. to rely on them..
They are passionate and really into work..
they got traits not like other people got..
easy to deal with italians..
I call italians “gente del paradiso”
Grazie mille italiani x tutto 😘😘😘😘😘
Che belle parole, grazie di cuore!
Hah! I live in Israel and the only friends I have are Arabs. Must be that Sicilian DNA.
@@tinalettieri I rely on my italian friends more than arabs..
@@titan_man8339 hah! Would be nice. I don't have any Italian friends here.
@@tinalettieri if you got a real italian friend you would know that.. those people are really different.. a people that came from paradise.. I was in deep depression.. for years.. and someone out of nowhere came in my life.. he gave me hope…
Italia is suffering now! But believe me.. italia is the paradise
I love italy and its language , the people are kind . I started to learn italian for visiting its historical places, from Iran 🇮🇷
Thank you so much and good luck with your Italian learning!
Ale sciumà kube ? I've been for three years in Iran, in Mobarakeh (شهرستان مبارکه) for the construction of the Mobarakeh Steel Plant : it's quite near the beautiful Esfahan ! I love your Country, even if is in trouble ! Ciao from Rome, Italy !
@@comesefosseantani231 oh very nice . I'm a tourguide , if u wanted to visit iran again i will guide u 🤩😍
@@comesefosseantani231 grazie mille 😍 yes Mobarake is near our city. About 4 hours is far from my city. ☺️♥️
You are welcome here.
My favourite thing about Italy is the confidence and kindness of the people. I am an Australian but have Italian parents and the few times I have been to Italy, it has been magical. But in Australia we have a good life too. I loved the “passeggiata” in the smaller towns in the evenings with friends and family. You do not see this so much in Australia. I don’t know if I could live in Italy though. The bureaucracy would do my head in.
I'm an Italian studying in Melbourne; the quality of life here is definitely high, but completely different from the Italian one. Here in Australia you can easily find a job with high salary, the bureaucracy is very efficient and everyone is very kind, but I miss the italian lifestyle :(
@@flnk I totally agree with you. If we could merge the Italian lifestyle with the opportunities in Australia we would have the perfect country.
@@CAEO416 I absolutely agree 🇦🇺🇮🇹
@@flnk..same here, but first let’s get rid of the politicians…..Anywhere!
😅
@@flnk of course a lot of our lifestyle in Melbourne has been created by the large influx of Greeks, Italians and other Europeans in the 50s. Bringing with them a cultural vibrancy that Melbourne did not have before that.
Italians have endless charm, and not in a negative way. We've lived in Italy almost a year and the people are incredibly warm ( at least that's how it is in Abruzzo).
Living in Southern California all my life, I’ve only known one Italian family. My impression of them is, family is the most important thing….and the best food on the planet. I was told that my maternal grandfather was raised by an Italian woman. I was told of her warmth and her amazing spaghetti. My mom has a picture of her and she was beautiful. So when I think of a typical Italian, I think so warmth, beauty, food and family.
Thank you so much for your comment!
As an Italian who lived in the US I have to say that it's incredible how quick and smart Americans are, really learned a lot...
I can't stop going to Italy. I love the scenery, history, culture, food, style and of course the Italians are so warm and hospitable. Even the chaos and disorganization you often encounter can many times be fun! It's all in how you look at it. It is too hot in summertime though. How do I spot Italians when they are abroad? First it's the clothes, next it is that they seem to be in groups, then it would be noise. All good to me!
Hi from UK. I think of typical Italians as wearing clothes which are stylish, attractive and well fitting , even if not expensive items. Very loud conversation. Open and funny. Warm. Friendly. Also appreciative of beauty and very critical of anything ugly or rude. ❤❤❤❤❤
Haha thank you for your comment! 😃
sunglasses for all seasons 😎 beautiful hair, lovely accent, lovely people, amazing culture, best food for home in da world
Thank you! 😃
Yes, yes and yes.
I think what separates Italians from others is their food - our passion for it and the importance of its quality, freshness, and simplicity. Last two times I was in Italy, I was surprised by how the youth is dressing like the youth in the U.S., but older Italians definitely set themselves apart by the way they dress. This is a compliment. I love visiting Italy because of the history, food, warmth and friendliness of the people, and the "la dolce vita" lifestyle and state of mind.
You said it baby. That's for sure. Live in Canada for 65 years, I am a Canadian citizen from Italy roots, love both.
I can say that in Germany, Italy is seen as a great country with the best food. Also, Italian people are seen as hospitable and very friendly. Whenever I visit Italy, which is quite often, I have the best time and in the future of my studies at university I probably will do a semester in Italy :D I am learning the language now for around a year and when I tried my best speaking it in Italy people were always very helpful and understood that I was trying :D Only love for Italians from Germany!
Thanks for sharing!
when i try to speak "hochdeutsch" with germans noone help lol, viele grusse kumpel
@@camping4u I cannot imagine. We are very impressed when someone tries to speak our language :D
@@noobschrauber4293Yes! I speak german a bit and Germans seem always surprised and glad that a foreigner speaks their language, they become suddenly more open and friendly. When I say Sorry for my errors they always say don't worry, even many Germans do the same errors, what I don't believe, but it's very nice from them to say so. "Bitte um Verzeihung für meine Fehler" :)
@@b13ne Amazing! Mach weiter so ;) That is what my Impression is, too. We know our language can be hard so we appreciate it more when foreigners try :)
Being only half Italian but with many relatives in Italy who I visit often I am amazed at how proud they are of their locality, whether it be a village, town, city or province. Often they declare the best food or wine in Italy could only be found locally. I've yet to meet an Italian who does not conform to this point of view.
I think it has to do with the fact that most Italian towns or regions have incredible story comparable with whole countries. It happens in Spain and France as well, I suppose its a pretty Mediterranean thing tbh 😂
@@javihernandez2755 Exactly! Having lived for years in the south of France near the Italian border, I have to say I agree whole-heartedly.
One of my Italian aunts stood on the balcony of her apartment, waved her arm, and went into heartfelt praise for the city of Ancona. I was very moved, because I love that city too.
Absolutely Steve. My wife's mother is coincidentally also from Ancona, a city I now know and love very much indeed. My mother came a little further down the coast from Pescara and she was immensely proud of her city. The best beaches on the Adriatic and Brodetto according to her. Good to hear from you with the Ancona link.@@steveneardley7541
I smiled the whole time watching this video! Grazie! I work in New York City, and whenever I see people wearing really stylish, cool, unique eyeglasses walking down the street, I try to listen to hear what language they're speaking, and it's almost always Italian!
Languages of italy is the number 1 thing that makes somebody italian. Knowing a language and respecting it. is what unites people of the country
Tipicamente italiano:
- Il concetto di coda per qualsiasi cosa
- Se non hai una città rivale non sei nessuno
- Questa cosa che se non ti annulli per il lavoro sei pigro e boh, l'idea che si possa lavorare in modo dignitoso proprio non entra nella testa di molti, solo perché ai loro tempi sono stati i primi a essere sfruttati (👀)
- La nonna col classico vestito smanicato
- C'è chi ha passato almeno una giornata a fare la salsa in casa a quintali e chi mente
The warmth, the vivacity, the style the "no holding back" on opinions good or bad. 🤣🤣🤣
I was born in the USA but have full Italian ancestry. We had a large family along with lots of relatives, all talking loudly. Can't wait to visit Italy this year to see if I fit in!
All of these people interviewed have different opinions. I found Italians warm, friendly and welcoming toward tourists.
Thank you so much!
I don't think I'll ever be considered Italian. I live in Italy, but I don't know if I'll ever take citizenship as it really messes with taxes at retirement. And, frankly, I'm not Italian. Not by blood. I think I'll always be "that American guy who lives in Italy."
My wife always said not to expect Italians to really ever accept me. That I'll always be an outsiders. But, guess what? I DO feel accepted. I go out to bars and make friends. They're amazed that I chose THEIR town to live in from anywhere in Italy. They LOVE that I'm trying my hardest to learn and speak Italian. I can go for 20 to 30 minutes before getting fairly exhausted (it's a real effort!). And they couldn't give a singular damn if I use the wrong conjugation or pick the wrong pronomi combinati.
But, my time in Italy has colored my views on what things are typical Italian. Moving away from food and clothes and moving on to other traits. Like, generosity. Warmness. Friendliness at the drop of a hat. Oh yeah, and bureaucracy.
I can walk around town (Lucca, if you're curious) and people I've only met once will see me and yell across the street, "Ciao!!! Come stai??"
Or, the first time I visit my veterinarian's office and get invited to his house for dinner, to meet his friends and family, and play billiards with him. I mean, seriously? Italy is just full of people like this. And so, when I think about what is "typically Italian", you now know where I'm coming from.
Thank you so much for your really kind words! Really glad to hear that you feel welcomed and accepted by Italians!
I'm sooooo sorry for what your wife said. That's not only untrue but even unpleasant and discouraging for no reason. Being Italian is difficult for everyone, even the Italians. Every effort is appreciate, because efforts to be civilized do cost to anyone, even locals. But there is always someone in the world who does not understand people, and you definitely understood something that your wife did not.
La Toscana ha una cultura particolare, se tua moglie è di questa regione non mi stupisce che ti abbia detto questa cosa che non rispecchia complessivamente l'Italia.
I toscani si scannano tra di loro e ogni città toscana "odia" l'altra - o sono rivali in qualcosa - figuriamoci con chi viene da un'altra nazione!
È una regione ostile per certi versi, quindi in teoria ci tengono a fare distinzioni, però come hai potuto sperimentare, nella pratica i toscani sono anche compagnoni e buoni amici.
@@M.C.P. molto semplicemente i toscani giocano a detestarsi tra di loro ma con gli altri non se la prendono, sua moglie dovrebbe saperlo bene
So, go back to America and pray you never need to be hospitalized or have a chronic illness. Those "high" taxes are what give Italians virtually free health care and benefits for disability. Yeah, you might have to deal with the bureaucrats but it beats being homeless with cancer or lupus or diabetes. Don't want that? No, didn't think so so instead of counting your miseries amid your blessings, try a little harder to learn the language and adapt. And tell your discontented wife to stop being such a pill, even tho you love her.
Someone could explain this warm and welcoming character they speak about regarding Italians? I lived in the South for a few months and now in the North, and I can't see any particular warmness here... When it comes to everyday stuff like running errands, trying to rent a flat or find a job, I can even see more toxic or grumpy people, or many occasions, just plain ignorance and rudeness. Of course there are nice and normal people but just like in any other country I've been to. So what are they talking about?!
The endless repetitive narrative of Italians being this way and Germans being that way, which often are just false. It is tiring ...
As an italian, unfortunately I must say you're fully right.
Stereotypes coming from people that never left their countries for more than a week.
Thanks! @@philipe1502
The combination of typical Italian elements in that place, is quintessentially italiani 🥰🇮🇹🥳
"La pasta, la pizza, il calore degli Italiani e…l’evasione delle tasse" 💚😂
I would add: You're typically Italian if you have a disarming sense of humor.
Per me sono le macchine. Ho una Fiat, un'Alfa e una Lancia quindi è quello che mi circonda di più. Sto imparando l'italiano per far parte della comunità Lancia.
Adoro la ragazza con gli occhiali da sole che parlano sempre del rumore degli italiani. Sono d’accordo. C’è anche il modo speciale che gli italiani mettersi in fila (oppure no). Ma mi piacciono i gesti, la bellezza, e lo stile della gente italiana.
I found her offensive because of the noise comments. Boh!
Thanks Pat, see you in your Dooblin, specifically Grafton Street :D
@@camping4u 🤣
@@tinalettieri aww well, for the myriad of wonderful qualities that Italians possess ( and I adore them for their warmth, passion, and spirit), they do have an energetic and loud quality!
@patriciaobrien5977 you want loud? Try Israel. Oy vey. Not only are they loud, they talk over each other. I was in the super yesterday and I asked the manager a question but the customer service woman had to add her two cents. I couldn't hear either of them. The manager was an Arab and very gracious. He told her to be quiet and answered my question. She apparently had misunderstood what I was asking and although I didn't get what she was saying at first, I got that she was talking about something different. Then she wanted to appear helpful and kept talking.
Sto mangiando una carbonara e guardando il tuo video. Sono così fortunato di conoscere la cultura italiana ❤️❤️🇮🇹
Carbonara e Easy Italian è un ottimo abbinamento! 😀 Grazie mille!
Ma he bellezza!!!!
I am half Ligurian and I live in the US. I was just talking with my cousin and I said that I identify as Italian first, American second. She said the same. The culture and blood is meaningful and strong. On my first visit to Italy, it was emotional. I knew where my history and origins were.
Have you thought about dual citizenship? It takes time, but I'm so happy I finally was recognized as an Italian citizen. Once recognized you can get an Italian passport.
@@casumarzu-fr2zn My DNA test says I am Italian. Down to my region, Liguria. I am Italian. It's my DNA.

Molto interessante e divertente! Grazie!
I love Italy - been many times and have studied Italian and can get by pretty well. I am not Italian by ancestry. While I really do enjoy travelling there, I find the people about the same as many other Europeans. There are good Italians and not so good Italians - Friendly Italians and unfriendly Italians. Yes, they place an emphasis on good food - but so do many (but not all) countries and nationalities. Also, I have been to some wonderful and some horrible restaurants in Italy. I think people tend to over generalize - especially when they travel and have a nice experience.
Beautiful people, country, climate, language & food. Cappuccino & cornetto in a piazza. ☀️🫶😎👏 Super episode as always. Thought provoking. Xx
Più Napoletano che Italiano! Sono d'accordo! Sono tantissima orgoliosa essere Napolitana! 🤩🤩🤩
Molto interessante - grazie. Ho guardato tutto l'intervisto. Con l'esperienza che ho io nei moltissimi viaggi in Italien, posso affirmare tutte le cose positive dette nel intervisto. Caratteristiche poco meno predominante: Affidabilità e pazienza.
Bellissima come sempre!!
Grazie mille!
oltre ad essere bello/bella sopra la media - è tipicamente italiano!❤
Funny, born and raised in Canada by Italian immigrant parents and raised in an Italian community and people always comment on how loud we are, gesticulate when we speak, that it sounds like we're fighting when speaking with our families, etc. etc. so a lot of this has been imported by Italians in foreign countries.
Viva italia sono arabo e l'italia il paese più bello del mondo , prima ho amato gli italiani e qunado mi sono andato li gli l'ho amato di piu ❤
Grazie mille, ci fa molto piacere che la tua esperienza in Italia sia positiva! 🥰
I think the main thing is their appreciation of quality craftsmanship. One thing that seems Italian but no one speaks of it, is their tendency to be enterprising. I've noticed that people of Italian heritage here have that trait and often base it on their own lives, even tragic events. If he gets divorced, he'll start a business selling new clothing and vacations for recent divorcees trying to find a new mate.
Essendo una nazione bella no, anzi, bellissima, è tipico che per gli Italiani, l'Italia è la più in tutto, di tutto è tra tutte.
Sono spagnolo. Devo riconoscere che molte volte sono senza parole della bellezza che si può trovare in questo paese. È tanta la cultura, la architettura e l'arte che serverebbero tre vite per conoscere la metà di tutto quello che c'è di speziale.
Ma, ragazzi, in tutte i paesi c'è qualcosa da vedere, da sentire, da mangiare, che può essere allo stesso livello della Italia. Forse non sempre oppure non egualmente spesso, ma comunque..
Se deve essere un più po aperto allo diverso e allo straniero.
Tuttavia, ma che bella è l'Italia! E non si mangia male 😊
Una ultima petizione: prendete cura quello che avete. l'Italia è molto sporca. I parchi sembrano la selva. Scegliete politici che pensano anche locale.
Buona settimana a tutti
Sono d'accordo con ogni tua parola!
Ciao, mi sto interessando alla Spagna e agli spagnoli. Ho sempre avuto un pregiudizio forte contro gli spagnoli, alternato a indifferenza, disinteresse verso di voi... prima di conoscere davvero la Spagna.
Sono stato a Barcellona.. le metro più moderne e pulite che abbia visto in Europa. Ho parlato con alcuni spagnoli, li ho trovati molto tranquilli e disponibili. Spesso avete meno paura degli italiani ad iniziare ad interloquire, che a mio parere è una cosa giusta, ma forse vi fate comunque più i fatti vostri, che per me significa altri punti in più. Non tenete alla moda come noi italiani, siete meno criminali, Paese più moderno, lievemente più ricerca scientifica, progressisti nei diritti civili, siete il primo posto per i turisti europei, il fatto che siate un po' più poveri di noi italiani vi rende nella mia mente più umili e meno antipatici, ma questo non so se è vero. Vi conosco ancora troppo poco.
Insomma, ho constatato solo cose positive in voi rispetto agli Italiani, e alla fine ho capito che gli spagnoli che odiavo erano in realtà gli Italiani. Proprio gli italiani stessi. O forse, non si può dire, i lat... Sapete, in Italia e nel mondo forse tendiamo ad assimilarvi ai latini. Quello che a me non piaceva era che gli Italiani venissero assimilati agli spagnoli e ai latini. Invece ora mi piacerebbe che fossimo un po' più simili a voi. Io mi sento molto più spagnolo che italiano.
@@andreasalucci8603 su, su, dai.... ricordati che la Spagna nei secoli passati ha depredato tutto il SudAmerica (tranne il Brasile). Ancora oggi sta crescendo molto grazie alla enorme possibilità e facilità di interazione con il Mondo ispanico. L'italia, dopo tutto, le uniche Colonie che ha avuto erano "gli avanzi" lasciati dalle altre Potenze europee... Cosa voglio dire? Che basta guardare un pochino alla Storia, e i Popoli che sembrano "migliori" vengono subito ridimensionati... Quanto all'italia (con la "i" minuscola, perché, per me, pur vivendoci, non rappresenta certo una Patria), beh, è una Entità troppo diversa, troppo diseguale, troppo varia. Non c'è nessun Paese nel Mondo, tanto meno di dimensioni piccole/medie, che riesce a contenere, per esempio, due Realtà totalmente diverse come il Trentino Alto Adige e... Napoli o il Sud italia. Chiaro che l'italia in generale, dopo "l'Unità", non è certo stata governata, per ragioni di mentalità, di bisogno, di approfittamento, dai... Trentini, ma dalla mentalità del Sud, che, partendo dalla emigrazione interna e dalla enorme concentrazione nella pubblica amministrazione di personale del Sud, ha plagiato, colonizzato, tutto il territorio nazionale.. Da qui il disordine, l'incuria, la disorganizzazione, la corruzione che vediamo ora quasi ovunque in italia. "Siete meno criminali": per forza, dove esiste un Paese con ben 4 fra le più potenti organizzazioni criminali del mondo (tutte al Sud italia), e dove esiste la Regione più arretrata (Calabria), e, nello stesso momento, quella più industriosa (Lombardia), d'Europa? E' l'italia, caro, quella che ci siamo dovuti sorbire, volenti o no, e che i politici del Sud (sempre ai Vertici) tendono continuamente a difendere così com'è....

secondo me, it is the pride of which an Italian claims that Italian food, culture, fashion, etc. is the best. it is also the way Italians dress, talk, and their social nature.

Per essere italiano basicamente devi:
1) Fare la coda disordinatamente
2) Gesticolare mentre parli e per mandare @ffank...gli altri automobilisti
3) Lamentarti sempre del tempo, qualunque tempo faccia.

Coming from Germany where everyone whispers on the trains, I took a train full of students going from Siena to Florence. They were throwing things around, yelling, laughing, but it did not disturb me, because I was in Italy and this is how they do it!
Sounds like typical young people's behaviour and you can easily find it in Germany too. So get off your high horses because we don't usually scream and throw stuff around in trains
jamesr1703 ......What?....."this is how they do it!"......Are you stupid?🧐
@@Bolognabeef Well said. Also i live on the Tuscan coast and i can see first hand every summer what the "whispering German students " are capable of ..
Almost all the youngest are like that! When I lived in Rome I've seen young tourists from north Europe/ USA been very loud in the metro, especially in the evening.
Better yelling Italians in the train than dead rats in the hospital!😂
Verdi, Pavarotti, Cicero, Dante, Machiavelli, Da Vinci, pizza, pasta, Ferrari, Lamborghini, colisseum, fashion, Galileo, calcio, Campari, Amaretto... the list goes on lol
Many of them where not "Italians" Italy is only 160 years old
Great list! Just discovered Verdi from this video from a video about Parma: ua-cam.com/video/ZPRXQprJDyg/v-deo.html
Perché la frase ``Made in Italy’’, usato per esprimere che si è orgoglioso di essere italiano, è una frase nell’inglese? Mi sembra molto strana, pieno di ironia. Avrebbe più senso se fosse stato in italiano stesso, no?
E' un'espressione che è stata molto diffusa dai media e dai politici italiani. 😀

I just started learning Italian. I can't seem to get the sentence structure. Per esempio- L'Italia senza pizza e caffe non esiste . Translation- Italy doesn't exist without pizza and coffee. Mainly the placement of the word "exist". Grateful if anyone could answer this.
You can also say "L'Italia non esiste senza pizza e caffè", but if you say "L'Italia senza pizza e caffè non esiste", it means that the bit in the middle will be more stressed in this case. 😊
Your phrase is awkward and ambiguous, even in English. What are you trying to say?
@@EasyItalianHer phrase is awkward, even in English. Italian is too difficult.

If you ask a Greek... they will tell you the same things, except for the italian cuisine, but they would talk about greek cuisine. So do all these things make them Italian?

Past dominations have nothing to do with it, because otherwise at this point we Sicilians could also define ourselves as Arabs (in western Sicily the Hellenism never reached us, while Arabization took place throughout the island), but it would have no sense today since we speak a Latin language and we also have its culture, albeit mixed with all the remaining cultures that have influenced us over the centuries, exactly as our genetics are mixed.
In short... we are a Latin people, from north to south Italy, certo che sì!
VIVAT LATINORVM
@@ianmarchese402 Certo che NO! The Romans had very little influence in Sicily and actually the Arabs had more. I am not and never will be a Latin. You've been brainwashed by the Garibaldini and their followers. I have NOTHING to do with those who call me a Terrone and who chopped off the heads of my ancestors and their compatriots to display in their disgusting Torniese museum. Ah, ok, you are a Western Sicilian, now I understand but don't be ashamed of our (I have Sicilian ancestors too, but East) Arab heritage that came from their Golden Age. In fact it was Federico II who encouraged it.
è stato molto piacevole ascoltare le persone intervistate
Avere una macchina a testa 😉. Ma anche essere molto ospitali!
E' vero... per entrambe le cose! 😅
Molto ospitali dipende da chi è l'ospite

I don't know why people like that girl think that southern Italians are similar to Spanish people... It's not true.
There is a lot of Spanish influence, Come on! I Borboni? Why do we call the presumpive king of Sicily "Don Pedro" affectionately? It is most certainly true.
@@tinalettieri those were the nobles and the rulers, not the members of the public. Ordinary Italian people didn't get in touch with Spanish people..and I add that now Barcelona, which is full of Italians, doesn't frame the whole country.. Because Italians travel to Barcelona and assume they know Spain.. Wrong!
@@giovannig2509 I guess my baronial roots are showing then.
La stessa descrizione degli argentini in molti aspetti, anche la loro intonazione per parlare è la stessa.
Il lcima mitigato ???? ahahha fatevi un giro in 2/3 dell'italia va per favore. Alpi, pianure del nord, Appennini , toscana d'inverno Sila Etna, Aspromonte; altro che clima mitigato!!!
😂, Chinese people also love to eat and are very loud. I like spagetti and italy 😊
We are quite similar then! 😀
@@EasyItalian right 🤭🤭
Ma questi Sono del sud! Eddai!!
I've been watching these videos for some time, I'm Mexican but I think if I went to Italy, I'd feel like these people are like me but I don't understand what they say.
Mexico has a different feel for sure except the sound of the language is similar, but the accent of Mexico on Spanish is very different than any Italian you hear.
I agree. Italians are like we latinos 😂❤
Viva Napoli!!
D'accordo su quasi tutto; ma non sui ristoranti italiani all'estero, con l'eccezione di quelli "stellati" gli altri sono..... ( lasciamo perdere ).
Burocrazia!
Vero! 😅
La Mafia!
I wanna learn Spanish and Italian before 2025😂😂
Good luck keeping them separate! I know "beginner +" level Spanish, and it's really messing with my current Italian studies!
Tutte le cose menzionate nel video, oltre a non stare in fila, ma invece affollarsi davanti.
Vero! 😅
My parents are Italian from Italy but I was born in SW Ontario, Canada. I don't feel Italian at all. Although I understood most of the Italian in this video and thought that if I got immersed in Italian I would be able to speak it. BUT, watching this video, I realize, oh oh, I don't think I would be able to speak basic Italian since I have never used it. Sad to say that I've assimilated and have Anglicized. Yes, I have been to Italy, and I will go again this December. Relatives refer to me as Americano. I'm ashamed of my loss of all things Italian.
It's never too late to make up for it. 😉
Gestures part due per favore.
Nein!!

Ok, the distinctive feature that makes Italians Italians is love to Italy, even "Italy is the best, I'm proud to be Italian," which is generally deserved, but it always personally seemed to me that the southern nations are more multicultural and open to other cultures. As can be seen in the example of Italy, they are much more focused on themselves.
Italians in Italy complain a lot about Italy. The moment they find out you moved there their first reaction is incredulity and ask “why??”. It’s baffling the amount of hate the Italians have for their own country. The ones they show on online videos are cherry-picked for the videos’ sake, for the likes. Living in Italy you face a totally different reality, people of course care about their country but they do not love it and always belittle it when comparing it to others. It makes no sense to me.
@@k.k.2157 maybe you’re right, but I have experience with many southern nations, and Italians seem to me less critical about their country and culture overall comparing with Spanish, Portuguese, Bulgarians, etc.
As someone who’s engaged to a Portuguese and has spent the past years between Portugal, Spain, the Uk, Japan and Italy… Italians don’t feel one bit of the love Portuguese people feel for their own country. Portuguese are the ones that love their country the most, and Italians could learn from them some of that self love, imho.
Non so se e` possibile dichiarare un vero Italiano dal fatto che ogni regione e` diversa in quasi tutti i modi .
It really doesn't matter because according to Italian law made by Italians, you are "Italian" via bloodline no matter where you live or what language you speak, period. 🤷
Even if laws allow to be Italian (for reasons about the biggest massive emigration we are aware), if one person doesn't even speaks Italian, that's not Italian. Because you can even become Italian without any bloodline, but just for culture, and if you don't understand the language, you don't know the country, but obviously you're into another country, the country you lived your life in. Italy means culture, not blood. Period
@@giovannimoriggi5833
Nothing is "obvious" to you because I was BORN in Italy and speak the language (and our regional language) better than you I'm sure.
I'm sorry you don't agree with Italian law. Maybe you should campaign to change it, but in the meantime....it is what it is.🤷
Don't let yourself get so worked up about it, and enjoy the holidays.
Buone Feste!
@@jhlfsc I don’t care about you, I was just explaining what it really needs to be Italian, and why certain laws happened. And don’t be so sure to be better than me on something. I really don’t trust it.
@@giovannimoriggi5833
For someone who allegedly "doesn't care" about me, I'm not sure why you made assumptions about me personally?
And....one thing I am clearly better at is controlling my emotions. Lol
@@jhlfsc if I care or not about you, what I meant not gonna change because I never referred at you, but at facts. We don’t know each other, it needs to remind that to you, do think what you want about yours and mine feelings. E buonasera
Difficile mangiare bene al estero. Davvero, davvero, misero me, misera la mia vita qui fuori. Torna a Sorriento!
It's funny, I've heard a few Italians on the train near me since I moved to a city and they've never been particularly loud. They must've lived in my country for a while!
Being born and raised in Italy ... That's all . If your great great grandmother came from Italy but you were born in the US ,you don't even speak Italian , then no , you're not Italian .
The problem with this reasoning is that there thousands of people in Canada and the US that still celebrate traditional Italian events and speak their ancestral dialect, while most of these things have been forgotten here in Italy and few people still speak in dialect
I agree.
People have such weird ideas about nationality. If you are born in a country and raised there, that's your nationality. You don't have to check a list of stereotypes.
Nope, if both your parents are Italian by passport and you are American by passport, you are still considered Italian in my opinion. Your mother tongue is Italian then, not English. Your nationality is not only linked to your place of birth.
@@truthseeker4084 Your nationality is where you are a legal citizen.
@@kyon_designer Thats not true, my parents for example are both Dutch and I grew up in Switzerland, I am Swiss citizen but my parents are Dutch so I AM Dutch, period. If I wanted I could have citizenship there. You are what your parents are, that is where your roots are and I am Dutch as my parents are, simple as that.
I agree with EVERYTHING everyone said!!
The food , the clothing, the lifestyle, and the warmth kindness and generosity of Italians is what makes ITALY the absolute BEST place in the world!! 💚🤍❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Thank you so much!
