I just came back from a trip to Italy where I happened to rent a car – and was overall a very nice experience…

Italian drivers are really much more comfortable driving much closer than is typical in other countries I visited – but other than that, it was really fun!

Just wondering why if you are renting an apartment you use the word affitare, and if renting a car you use noleggiare. Are the words interchangeable or not?

The verbs “noleggiare” and “affittare” have the same meaning – “to rent”. But they are not interchangeable. You could not say “noleggiare un appartamento”. When undecided on the one to use, pick the verb “affittare”.

Ciao
And thank you for the new things on your site.

I have a suggestion – like the art vocabulary, it would be great vith a vocabulary connected to the wineindustry and winemaking, drinking and grapes. How about that?

Come mai usate la parola “auto” invece di dire “macchina”? Io ho vissuto tanti anni in Italia e’ ho sempre usato macchina per dire “car”. Sara’ una cosa regionale? Is one more correct than the other? Bellissimi questi podcast!!
