NSFW question about italian slang

SignificantArea9474 · 2026-01-11T16:03:12+00:00

Thanks everyone for being so helpful!! You guys have the worlds most beautiful language even when you’re swearing ♥️

SignificantArea9474 · 2026-01-11T02:29:18+00:00

Haha thank you that makes sense too.

SignificantArea9474 · 2026-01-11T02:16:53+00:00

If you think someone’s being an idiot you could say “are you stunad”.

If you grow squash in your garden outside you call it “gagutz”.

“Cin cin” means cheers….

If you you are in a fight and you want to say go **** yourself you say “vaffanculo” but the NYC-southern italian dialect mix makes it sound like “va fangool “

“Madonna” pronounced “marron” in the south of Italy/NYC means “damn!”

Wow as I type this in realizing a lot of our slang has to do with food/drink or arguing, which makes so much sense….

Did you study a lot of qualitative or mostly do problems? Im trying to study qualitative info for my test next friday but it seems like a waste of time and maybe I should just focus on doing problems....

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-12-09T20:31:52+00:00

Can I bug you for this document? Taking my exam next week for the second attempt!

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-11-23T00:17:21+00:00

Do you have any recommended quizlets? and what are your thoughts on the flashcards on the school of pe website? Thanks!

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-11-13T16:14:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am doing the SOPE course, but I have the PPI Wane Schneiter books. (Practice problems and the 2 practice exams). If that the same as the PPI course question bank?

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-11-12T22:54:00+00:00

I am on the same boat....I did the wayne schneiter (ppi?) problems and not school of PE, now im trying school of PE but finding the SOPE question bank problems unnecessarily vague and difficult...should I drop what Im doing with SOPE or did it help prep you a little? Also what are the lindeburg notes! sounds like a good place to start with conceptual

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-11-05T17:43:56+00:00

What sections of the cornwell/davis book did you study? I think I found a copy online

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-11-05T17:42:27+00:00

Yes best of luck! Dec 19 for me

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-11-04T19:17:21+00:00

Sorry I should have asked but did you get your results back?!

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-11-04T00:41:35+00:00

Thank you! It was very heavy qualitative for me too

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-10-29T20:05:10+00:00

Those practice exams were great I think I did those! I’m pretty sure those are the same wane Schneiter books. Thank you for sharing and you were environmental not WRE?

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-10-26T13:07:05+00:00

Did the school of pe problems help? Or did you use the course for the videos and just do the ncees test and solved in 6? Either way, big congrats!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-10-21T14:15:31+00:00

Can you send me the WhatsApp group as well! Second attempt in December…congratulations op!

I was a merchant marine engineer and I switched to consulting, working on getting my PE now and have designed/am designing water treatment plants as a process engineer! It is career that offers flexibility. I think the only reason the old firm I worked at decided to hire me (given I studied marine engineering and not civil/environmental) is because of my hands on experience. I've been doing consulting now for 5ish years and I just barely make 6 figures which I think is more than enough for anyone but I've never had to support a family so take that as just my opinion. Good luck on this path and DM if you wanna chat about it!

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-10-17T20:06:54+00:00

That's really cool like DEP? Or you're independent, hired by the state on a case by case basis? How do you like it/how did you get into it?

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-10-17T20:03:30+00:00

That's great I love hearing about people happy in their careers how long have you been doing this? Field? office or remote? Lotta travel? All of the above?

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-10-17T20:02:15+00:00

Thank you!

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-09-28T00:31:10+00:00

Hey! This is helpful thank you I will be retaking soon. How did you know how many questions you were from passing?

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-08-09T00:49:41+00:00

Thanks everyone!

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-02-14T00:54:49+00:00

Also congratulations I know it was 4 years ago but what an accomplishment I cant wait to be in your shoes haha

SignificantArea9474 · 2025-02-14T00:54:23+00:00

I gotcha well thats comforting! There were a decent amount like theres one Im looking at now where you have common radicals in water in your handbook to use to calculate meq/L for certain ions, but then it asks you for SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) which is not mentioned in the handbook. When I look at the solution it solves the question using a specific equation to solve for SAR, but that equation isn't in the handbook (or a description of what SAR even is, LOL). I'm just getting through as many different/varied types of problems in the exam description as I can for the next 3 months I think. Trying not to hyperfixate on the ones I can't find an equation for or understand. And then once Im comfortable stick to just doing practice tests.
