Yes Italians really are ready to talk at anytime! Thanks Jane and Massimo for yet another useful and entertaining episode.

By the way: I once was in line and the person ahead of me said: “tocca a me”. Is that equivalent of “e’ il mio turno”?

Please explain the sentence, “Una conversazione di circostanza.” I don’t undertstand.

Kelly, the sentence “una conversazione di circostanza” is the equivalent of the English “small talk”. Literally means “conversation of circumstance”.
