It is actually a little different – the meaning of the expression on Edoardo Bennato’s song “Non Farti Cadere Le Braccia” is “do not surrender”.

Herb Says:

In the Supplement; for the participle for the verb scocciare in one place essere is used “sono scocciato di Sara” and in another avere is used “mi hai scocciato”

how do you know which to use? I know (or think I know!) essere for intransitive verbs and avere for transitive, so is scocciare both?

At one point in the discussion, but not in the dialogue, Massimo says something like: “A volte, le cose cambiano in fretta.” He makes the sense of it clear, but could you confirm/correct my transcription of exactly what he said?

Steve Says:

How would one say “Stop annoying me.” I am guessing “Ferma scocciarmi” ???

I have just started learning Italian after having some Italian students on my English courses and your podcasts are fantastic! It is so helpful to listen, repeat and lean new expressions – I think you’ve got it just right!
