- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Italian with Fexingo. Luna: Oh, thanks Lucas. Yeah, I'm ready for some tiny Italian today. Lucas: Perfect. So last time we chatted about coffee culture, and you remembered 'a dopo' for goodbye. Luna: Yeah, totally. I've been using that with my friends. Lucas: That's great. Today, we're keeping it super simple. Just four little words that you'll use all the time. Luna: Oh, I love that. What are they? Lucas: Yes, no, please, and thank you. In Italian, that's 'Sì', 'No', 'Per favore', and 'Grazie'. Luna: Wait, hold on. Let me write that down. Sì, No, Per favore, Grazie. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with 'Sì'. That means yes. Say it slowly with me: Sì. Luna: Sì. Lucas: Good. Now normally: Sì. Luna: Sì. Oh, that's easy. Lucas: It is. Next, 'No'. That means no. Slowly: No. Luna: No. Lucas: Right. Normally: No. Luna: No. Okay, so Sì and No. Lucas: Yeah. Now 'Per favore'. That means please. Slowly: Per fa-vo-re. Luna: Per fa-vo-re. Lucas: Almost. Try it as one flow: Per favore. Luna: Per favore. Lucas: There you go. And last, 'Grazie'. That means thank you. Slowly: Gra-zie. Luna: Gra-zie. Lucas: Good. Normally: Grazie. Luna: Grazie. Oh, I've heard that before in movies. Lucas: For sure. So let's put them together. Sì, No, Per favore, Grazie. Luna: Sì, No, Per favore, Grazie. Lucas: Nailed it. Now, tiny scene. Imagine we're at a cafe. I'm the barista, you're ordering. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Buongiorno. Un caffè? Luna: Sì, per favore. Lucas: Ahh, yes! Perfect. And here's your coffee. Luna: Grazie. Lucas: Exactly. You just used three of them. Want to try another one? Luna: Yeah, let's do it. Lucas: Okay, I'll ask if you want dessert. Vuoi un dolce? Luna: No, grazie. Lucas: Oh that's so good. No, grazie. You got all four. Luna: Wait, really? Sì, No, Per favore, Grazie. Lucas: Totally. Let's repeat them one more time. Sì. Luna: Sì. Lucas: No. Luna: No. Lucas: Per favore. Luna: Per favore. Lucas: Grazie. Luna: Grazie. Lucas: Okay, quick recap. What's yes in Italian? Luna: Sì. Lucas: Right. And no? Luna: No. Lucas: Good. How about please? Luna: Per favore. Lucas: Exactly. And thank you? Luna: Grazie. Lucas: Perfect. You did it. These are your new tiny tools for any conversation. Luna: I love that. So if someone asks 'Come stai?', I can say 'Bene, grazie'. Lucas: Oh, yes!
