So 'gli stivali' are the boots you wear in winter. And to say 'I put on my boots', you say 'metto gli stivali'. Listen: metto gli stivali. Luna: Metto gli stivali. Metto gli stivali.

That's a good sentence. Lucas: And if you see a really nice pair, you can say 'che belli stivali'. What does that mean? Luna: What beautiful boots, right? Che belli stivali. Lucas: Exactly. And last one: 'cammino con gli stivali' — I walk with my boots. Let's hear it. Luna: Cammino con gli stivali. Cammino con gli stivali. That's like, I walk in boots. Lucas: Perfect. So let's imagine a little scene. It's snowy. You're getting ready to go outside. What do you say? Luna: Metto gli stivali. Lucas: And then you step out and think about how warm they are? Luna: Gli stivali sono caldi. Lucas: Now you're walking and you see another person's boots. What do you say? Luna: Che belli stivali! Lucas: And you keep walking, enjoying the snow. Cammino con gli stivali. Luna: Cammino con gli stivali. I love that. So today we've got gli stivali, metto gli stivali, gli stivali sono caldi, che belli stivali, and cammino con gli stivali.
