Learn Italian Language with Podcasts! Today let’s see what our hero Renzo is up to. After a romantic weekend in Rome, Renzo decides to drive his car a good six hours from Milano to Napoli to surprise Lucia. The surprise is great, except that Lucia is not very happy about Renzo’s car: she thinks it’s a “catorcio” (a lemon)… Let’s see what happens, and in the meantime let’s learn some very common colloquial Italian expressions. Have fun!

ciao massimo e jane, mille grazie. con l’aiuto di i podcasts ho imparato molto, quando avevo cominciato so di niente ma adesso sto migliorando e spero che io sappia di piu del questa pagina
per favore scusa mio pessimo italiano ma devo insegnare io
Ciao:
Could the expression ‘che é una meraviglia’ (like a wonder) also be stated as ‘come una meraviglia’?
Marvin – yes. The expressions “va che e’ una meraviglia” and “va come una meraviglia” mean the same thing, the former being more used.
tante grazie LearnitalianPod!!!
The dialogue transcript translates “straccio” (in 2 places) as “rug”. I think what’s meant is “rag”.
Thanks Ludwig for pointing that out – in fact, it’s “rag”.
ciao! i think the word meraviglia is best translated as a marvel rather than a wonder, as i think the two word are derived from the same thing. keep up the good work peeps!
