- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Italian with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is Episode 248. The winter chill is really setting in today. Lucas: It is. After our cabin episodes, we need to step outside again. Let us talk about staying warm. Luna: Yes. My hands are freezing just thinking about it. What should I say about my scarf? Lucas: Let us start with the scarf. The word is sciarpa. Listen closely. Lucas: La sciarpa è calda. Luna: La sciarpa è calda. Lucas: Exactly. The scarf is warm. Warmth is very important right now. Luna: I love that phrase. La sciarpa è calda. It sounds so cozy. Lucas: It is. Now, look at your hands. You are wearing gloves. In Italian, that is guanti. Lucas: Let us make a sentence. I will say it slowly. Lucas: I guanti sono stretti. Luna: I guanti sono stretti. Lucas: Good. The gloves are tight. Tight means they fit well and keep the cold out. Luna: Oh, I see. So if they are loose, the wind gets in. Stretti is good. Lucas: Stretti is perfect. Now, let us look up. Do you have a hat on? Luna: Yes, I do. A big wool one. How do I describe it? Lucas: The word is cappello. Let us say it together. Lucas: Il cappello è bello. Luna: Il cappello è bello. Lucas: Beautiful. The hat is beautiful. Simple and effective. Luna: Il cappello è bello. I can use that to compliment someone too. Lucas: You certainly can. But wait. Is your nose feeling okay? Luna: Actually, yes. It is a bit numb. Cold makes that happen. Lucas: Then we must learn this phrase. It is very common. Lucas: Ho freddo al naso. Luna: Ho freddo al naso. Lucas: Right. I am cold in the nose. Or I have cold in the nose. It is a natural way to say it. Luna: Ho freddo al naso. That is exactly how I feel right now. Lucas: Finally, before you go out, what do you put on over everything? Luna: My coat. The big heavy one. Lucas: Cappotto. Let us make a full action sentence. Lucas: Metto il cappotto. Luna: Metto il cappotto. Lucas: I put on the coat. This is what you do before stepping into the snow. Luna: Metto il cappotto. I feel much warmer just saying these words. Lucas: That is the power of language. It warms you up inside too. Luna: True. So let us review what we have learned today.
