Luna: Metto i guanti. I'm picturing myself putting on my cozy gloves. Lucas: And if you see a nice pair, you might say 'che bei guanti' – 'what beautiful gloves.' Luna: Che bei guanti. That's a handy compliment. My friend just got some, I'll try it on them. Lucas: Now, one common winter problem – losing them. 'Perdo i guanti' means 'I lose the gloves.' Luna: Oh no, perdo i guanti. I always lose one glove. It's a tragedy. Lucas: It happens to the best of us. Let's go through all the phrases again. I'll say them, and you repeat. Lucas: I guanti. Luna: I guanti.
