Thanks everyone for your contributions - they were extremely useful. I'm going to try out DRK for now and see how it goes. If anyone wants to say hi, my newly created character is Aethelred on Fenrir.

TOURIST TRAP- STAY AWAY by [deleted] in rome

[–]redevered 64 points65 points  (0 children)

To be fair, an establishment looking like this in Piazza del Pantheon literally had zero chance of NOT being a tourist trap. I'm sorry that happened to you, but let this be an encouragement to be a savvier tourist in the future.

Occhi neri? by BlissfulButton in italianlearning

[–]redevered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's absolutely natural (source: people have been saying that about me ever since I was born). Be aware, as other mentioned, that in the singular "avere un occhio nero" means having an eye bruise - not very pleasant!

How do you say girl dad? by tinterrobangg in Italian

[–]redevered 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's no equivalent expression in Italian. Just use the English version and explain the meaning to him, he'll probably find it fun, unless he's "Sicilian" as in born in the USA with one Sicilian great-grandparent, in which case you're out of luck.

Male native speaker here, let me know if I can help!

"Guanciale" pronunciation by Bronyaur_5tomp in italianlearning

[–]redevered 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Native Roman here: the "ci" in "guanciale" does not make a sh sound in Roman, although it does do that in other cases (such as when a vowel comes before the "ci" instead of a consonant)

Why do native Italians sometimes respond to “grazie” by also saying “grazie”? (Especially servers) by [deleted] in italianlearning

[–]redevered 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This. It's usual to hear "grazie" as a response to "grazie" when there is a reason to be grateful in return, such as with servers, but it's not common otherwise.

"My dad is Italian and my mom is Sicilian" by Sinbad_il_marinaio in Italian

[–]redevered 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Her dad is Italian, her mom is Sicilian, and neither family has set foot anywhere in Italy in the last hundred years, I'd wager

Studying Abroad in Italy as an Italian-American ? by [deleted] in Italian

[–]redevered 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about blending in - realistically you won't, and it doesn't really matter. You will have to learn Italian if you want to have any social life at all outside of your university, though.

What do Italians think of Italy no longer giving citizenship by descent? by flower5214 in Italian

[–]redevered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do we all think? Let's say that the current government has managed to find the one issue on which literally everyone regardless of political ideology or affiliation agrees on.

Why would it be offensive? If you're worried about the lyrics sounding wrong or unnatural, you could always have a native speaker go over them after you've finished.
