rofl, great one

LOL, I'm liking the Italians more every day :D :aok

ROFLMAO, Saw!! :)
How true, how true!
Bozzetto is a genius in comic/satiric cartoons.
:D

Saw, great link!
My wife and family enjoyed that one very much!
-
Stringer, it's true that your wife is from Napoli?
If it's true let her read this:
"Puozz' campà cient'anne, sora mia, e puortate semp' a tierra nosta dint'o core"
:)
-
Hehe...I'll do that.
Naso, I say Naples, but she's from Mira Bella (only because noone outside of that region knows of those 2 towns).
Her Mother is from Mira Bella and her father is from Avellino.
-
I see, Mirabella Eclano, near Avellino. :)
We share the same dialect (better said, language), I guess she can read that. :)
-
It's not that hard
"A hundred years can pass, my lady, and forever carry our land in the heart"´
*I know little Italian and zip about the Naples dialect, but I guess broken latin is still broken latin* :D
-
Heheheh LOL! :D Oh My God, it is all so true ... oh well ;)
-
Close enough, Takeda :)
The first part was: "I wish for you to live hundred years, sister", the rest is perfect. :)
Napolitan and italian are similar, both derived from latin and have had many contacts.
In reality, the Italian does'nt exist (I know this seem absurd), is more a convention.
When "the Unity dream" started, the then so called rebels, (now patriots) choosed to elect/push the language of Dante as future Italian language and found the agreement by their ally, the king of Piemonte, the future dinasty of Kings of Italy that lasted until 1946, (who spoke french in his court, go figure ;) ), decided, in 1861, when Italy was finally unified (occupied, for the loyalists of Napolitan kingdom ;) ), to adopt that variation of Tuscany area language as official language.
Before that, in my region and in all the south, the official language of the "kingdom of two Sicilies" was napolitan.
There is still people here, old ones, that have difficulties to speak italian, since the most unifying media has been radio and, for the big part, television (of course school played its part but less than one can expect) and those are recent inventions.
It's difficult for someone out there to understand how different are the dialects strictly spoken in the original forms.
Between Napolitan and, for example, Venetian, there's more difference as with French, and Napolitan have more in common with Spanish than with Lumbard.
But all theese languages share the same root, so a rotten latin can be useful to grasp the meanings. :)

Naso,
Yes, my wife has difficulty using the "official" Italian, but obviously understands your dialect just fine. And she appreciates the sentiment!
She hasn't been back in a while. We were trying to arrange something this last September but it didn't work out. We'll have to let you know when we figure out when we can get there.

We had a common king Naso ,I'm from Angers ;)
