href="https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/italian-dialects-in-music">Italian dialects</a> that can be found throughout the country of Italy. When we refer to the Neapolitan dialect, it’s important that we differentiate it from the Neapolitan language first. The Neapolitan dialect is a regional variant of Italian spoken in the city of Naples and the surrounding area, while the Neapolitan language is an entirely separate language that’s spoken across different regions of Italy and encompasses the dialects that were spoken in the kingdoms of Two Sicilies.</span></p> <p>Neapolitan differs from other Italian dialects in a few different ways, but one of the most noticeable is Neapolitan expressions. As with any dialect, the speakers have countless phrases individual to them, and learning them is a great way to get more insight into the region. Here, we’ll look at some of our favorite Neapolitan expressions. But first, it’s worth it to look at the context the Neapolitan dialect exists in.</p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">A Little History Of The Neapolitan Dialect</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The first written record of the Neapolitan dialect can be found in the Placiti Cassinesi. The Placiti are four legal testaments that were written between 960 and 963. Neapolitan has an extremely rich written history. The first piece written in prose was a chronicle from the 12th century. Despite its storied history, the dialect has had good and bad fortune depending on who’s been in power. Though there were attempts to make the Neapolitan dialect gradually disappear, it has survived for centuries thanks to its strong literary tradition. The most notable work comes from Giambattista Basile, a writer who lived between the 16th and 17th century.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">In the middle of the 15th century, the Aragon royal family attempted to regulate the use of the Neapolitan dialect. More specifically, the family attempted stamp it out of existence. They encouraged using the Tuscan dialect which had emerged as the literary lingua franca equally as dignified as Latin. The decline of the Aragon family led to a Neapolitan dialect renaissance, though Tuscan did end up becoming prevalent in the city and region.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Regardless, thanks to the popular literary works from authors like Eduardo di Filippo and <a href="https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/italian-dialects-neapolitan-novels">Elena Ferrante</a>, the Neapolitan music school, and <a href="https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/italian-dialects-in-music">pop music</a> (from 99 Posse to Almamegretta, from Liberato to Nu Genea), the Neapolitan dialect has survived and thrived, becoming even more popular and widespread. The dialect isn’t just popular in Naples; its popularity has spread throughout all of Italy and abroad. Songs like “O sole mio,” for example, are widely known abroad and represent one of countless shining examples of this beautiful language.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It would be impossible to fit all Neapolitan expressions into one article given its centuries-old history. Instead, we made a list of a few the most famous and notable Neapolitan expressions and added a few fun facts that might not be as well-known outside the region. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Jamme jà</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">!</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Our Favorite Neapolitan Idioms And Expressions</span></h2> <ul> <li><strong><em>A pisce fetiente </em></strong>—<span style="font-weight: 400"> when something is </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">a pisce fetiente, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">or “to smelly fish,” it means that a situation has turned into a violent fight.</span></li> <li><strong><em>A quatt’e bastune</em></strong>— <span style="font-weight: 400">to be “on four walking sticks” means to be fully relaxed. This expression comes from the depiction of four walking sticks shown on Neapolitan cards.</span></li> <li><strong><em>Alla sanfrason</em></strong><span style="font-weight: 400"> (or </span><strong><em>alla sanfasò</em></strong><span style="font-weight: 400">) — a few Neapolitan expressions have French origins. <em>Alla sanfrason</em> comes from the French expression <em>sans façon</em>, meaning “haphazardly.”</span></li> <li><strong><em>Chiachiello </em></strong>— <span style="font-weight: 400">this term is used for someone who’s all talk.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Chino ‘i vacantarìa</strong> </em>— <span style="font-weight: 400">literally meaning “full of emptiness,” this expression is used to describe something empty.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Dicette ‘o pappecio ‘n faccia ‘a noce: damme ‘o tiempo ca te spertos o.</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> this is one of the most iconic Neapolitan expressions, literally meaning “The worm said to the walnut tree, give me time so I can burrow into you.” It’s a plea to not let go.</span></li> <li><em><strong>‘E stramacchio</strong> </em>—<span style="font-weight: 400"> means “clandestinely” or “under wraps.”</span></li> <li><em><strong>Fa ‘o paro e ‘o sparo</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> when someone is doing something “odds and evens” in Neapolitan, it doesn’t mean they’re deciding whether they’ll do something. Instead, they’re weighing the pros and cons of a decision.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Gente ‘e miez’ ‘a via</strong></em> — <span style="font-weight: 400">people on the street live from hand to mouth to get by.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Ha da passa’ ‘a nuttata</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> one of the most celebrated Neapolitan expressions was used for the first time by Eduardo de Filippo in the comedy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042780/"><i>Side Street Story</i></a></span><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">and essentially means that you have to keep going during the hard times (the <em>nuttata</em>) because better times are ahead.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Inta a scurdata</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> Neapolitans say this when something was never forgotten and the time has come to right a wrong.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Jamme bell’, jà!</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> this is one of the most well-known Neapolitan expressions outside of Naples, and it literally means “Come on, beautiful, come on!”</span></li> <li><em><strong>L’acqua è poca e ‘a papera nun galleggia</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> this expression literally means “there’s so little water not even a duck could float.” Neapolitans use this expression when a situation is really bad.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Mmange, ca ru ttuoie mange</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> this literally means “eat because otherwise you’ll eat from your plate.” The meaning isn’t easy to guess from the literal translation, but Neapolitans use this expression for someone who tries to use a situation to their advantage without realizing that they themselves will face the consequences later on.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Me dai na voce</strong></em> — literally<span style="font-weight: 400"> “give me a voice,” this expressions means “let me know.”</span></li> <li><em><strong>Metterse ntridece</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> this curious expression sounds similar to a <a href="https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/sicilian-phrases">Sicilian expression</a>, but it has a different meaning. Someone who “puts themselves in thirteen” is someone who sticks their nose where it doesn’t belong.</span></li> <li><em><strong>‘Nu guaio ‘e notte</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> literally translating to “a pickle in the night,” this expression means a disaster, or a serious predicament that’s practically impossible to solve.</span></li> <li><em><strong>‘O ciuccio ‘e Fechella</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> this Neapolitan expression definitely stands out because of its origin story. <em>L’asino di Fechella</em>, or “Fechella’s donkey,” is an expression used for people who are ill. It seems like a certain Fechella had a particularly sickly donkey that was ill-adapted for carrying things.</span></li> <li><em><strong>‘O guappo ‘e cartone</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> the <em>guappo</em> is an arrogant guy, and when they’re <em>di cartone</em> it means that they’re all bark and no bite.</span></li> <li><em><strong>‘O munaciello</strong></em> — <span style="font-weight: 400">this mythical creature is a type of elf endowed with magical powers that can either be good or bad. You can hear them being talked about when something inexplicable happens in the house.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Parlà mazzecato</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> someone who only tells half of the story, whether it’s because of spinelessness or calculation.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Rutto pe’ rutto</strong></em> — literally<span style="font-weight: 400"> “broken for broken,” it means at this point what’s done is done, what happens happens.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Scarte frúscio e piglie primera</strong></em> — <span style="font-weight: 400">if you’re a fan of the musical artist Liberato, you might be familiar with this expression. The literal translation doesn’t quite match up with its current use (because it refers to a card game that’s no longer played), but the expression’s meaning is clear: it’s when you try to avoid a mess and end up in a worse situation.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Se so rotte le giarretelle</strong></em> —<em><span style="font-weight: 400"> g</span></em><i><span style="font-weight: 400">iarratelle</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> are small pitchers, and this phrase refers to them breaking. It means a very solid bond between two people has been broken.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Si’ ‘nu babbà</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> Neapolitan expressions are closely linked to local cuisine, and this expression is no exception. When someone says that they’re a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">babbà</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">, i</span><span style="font-weight: 400">t means that they’re saying they’re darling or a doll.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Statte buono</strong></em> — <span style="font-weight: 400">the ultimate sendoff, meaning “fare thee well.”</span></li> <li><em><strong>Stann’ cazz’ e cucchiar</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> no, this isn’t a vulgar expression. It literally means “like a bucket for the mortar and the trowel.” The actual meaning refers to two people who understand each other perfectly.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Tene’ ‘a neva ‘int’ ‘a sacca</strong></em> — <span style="font-weight: 400">someone who “has snow in their pocket” is someone who’s in a rush. Maybe they’re afraid the snow will melt?</span></li> <li><em><strong>Tene’ l’arteteca</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> means “to be rambunctious.” <em>Arteteca</em> is a rheumatic fever that causes spasms and was once common in children.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Tène ‘o mmale ‘e ndindò: a isso lle vène e a me no</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> means something to the effect of “you have ridiculitis, but I don’t get sick from it.” But what does <em>male di dindò</em> mean? It’s an expression for someone who’s allergic to hard work, so it’s a malady that afflicts every slacker when there’s work to do.</span></li> <li><em><strong>Zittu zitto, ‘nmiezo ‘o mercato</strong></em> —<span style="font-weight: 400"> someone who does things “hush hush in the middle of the market” thinks they’re acting stealthily but everyone can see them, and therefore they’re

Alighieri’s language. Every time a friend tells me he or she wants to learn Italian, I start by giving tips and teaching the secret grammar rules I picked up at school, then I try to share the \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/a-master-class-in-italian-gestures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fine art of hand gestures\x3c/a>. Finally, when the student is ready, I explain the magic of the unwritten (i.e., all the vernacular Italian expressions that nobody will ever find in a textbook).\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Here’s the list of the slangy expressions that I use all the time — swear words not included! — with tips on how to use them and when, as well as when it’s better not to. Don’t forget to be melodious with your voice and to use your hands!\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>8 Italian Expressions And How To Use Them\x3c/h2>\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Ci fai o ci sei?\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>\x3cstrong>Literal Translation: \x3c/strong>Are you pretending to be like that or are you actually like that?\x3cstrong>\x3cbr />\nMeaning:\x3c/strong> Are you crazy or what?\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>This question is a way to express utter disbelief with the way in which someone is acting. That’s why you ask, “Are you serious, or you are pretending?”\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>This saying is often accompanied with a hand gesture.

For example, you might complement your colleague for doing a good job and then he starts bragging and claiming that he’ll soon get a promotion. Tell him, “That’s too much, \x3cem>non t’allargare\x3c/em>.”\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>This phrase also has a hand gesture that can go along with it.

Is it because we Italians love food and we don’t want anyone messing with it? Probably. The only certain thing is that this sentence is not at all sweet.\x3c/p>\n\x3cblockquote>\x3cp>“What?

It communicates that you actually couldn’t care less about something, so don’t use it lightly. This phrase is probably one of the most commonly used in Italy.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>To add a hand gesture, put one or two fingers under your chin and brush them in a forwards motion, gently touching your skin.\x3c/p>\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Dopo facciamo i conti.\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>\x3cstrong>Literal Translation: \x3c/strong>We are going to cash up later.\x3cstrong>\x3cbr />\n\x3c/strong>\x3cstrong>Meaning: \x3c/strong>We’ll settle this later.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>This is a sentence that every Italian mother uses with their son at least once in her life. It’s a friendly warning that says, “If you behave like this now, don’t think that I will forget. You’ll deal with the consequences later.”\x3c/p>\n\x3cblockquote>\x3cp>“Clean your room or \x3cem>dopo facciamo i conti!\x3c/em>“\x3c/p>\x3c/blockquote>\n\x3cp>This expression can also be used in a friendly way. For example, when a friend invites you to dinner and insists on paying, but you resist, and there is this back-and-forth about it, the person who “wins” the fight might say \x3cem>dopo facciamo i conti\x3c/em>. This means that you can talk money another time, and it’s a friendly way to say that the topic is not up for discussion anymore.\x3c/p>\n\x3cblockquote>\x3cp>“I owe you 15 euros for the dinner you paid for!”\x3cbr />\n“Ah, \x3cem>dopo facciamo i conti\x3c/em>, don’t worry!”\x3c/p>\x3c/blockquote>\n\x3cp>\x3cimg loading=\"lazy\" class=\"attachment-large alignnone\" src=\"https://i1.wp.com/live-babbel.alleydev.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/facciamo-i-conti_700x700-20170620114858.jpg?fit=628%2C628&strip=none\" alt=\"Italian Slang Expressions — Dopo Facciamo\" width=\"628\" height=\"628\">\x3c/p>\n\x3ch3>Magari!\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>\x3cstrong>Meaning:\x3c/strong> If only (that were true)!\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>This simple exclamation is very expressive and can be used when you really hope that something is going to happen . In the context of a full sentence, \x3cem>magari\x3c/em> can be used to mean “maybe,” but it’s most powerful as a one-word exclamation.

And Its Dialects: The Clever Linguistic Choices In ‘My Brilliant Friend’","content":"\x3cp>\x3cem>Header photo: Eduardo Castaldo/HBO\x3c/em>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/elena-ferrante-my-brilliant-friend/\">the Neapolitan novels\x3c/a>\x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a four-book series by Elena Ferrante that has seen enormous success in Italy and around the world, a fundamental role is given to language; in particular, the books highlight the dichotomy between the Neapolitan dialect and standard Italian, which punctuates the series’ events like a \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">leitmotif\x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet despite being mentioned regularly, Ferrante never uses dialect in the series’ Italian-language narration (except for some slang expressions, like \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strunz\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">càntaro\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tàmmaro \x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and\x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uommen’e mmerd\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). \x3c/span>The author often reminds us that the characters are speaking in dialect, but their dialogues are, in fact, written in standard Italian.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in a memorable scene in the first book \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Brilliant Friend\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, when Lila threatens Marcello Solara by pointing a knife at his throat, the narrator writes,\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cdiv class=\"pullquote\">\x3cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said calmly, in dialect, \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Touch her again and I’ll show you what happens.”\x3c/span>\x3c/span>\x3c/div>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The presence of the dialect is important, almost omnipresent, but it’s never shown explicitly. During an interview with Katrina Dodson in \x3cem>\x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.guernicamag.com/the-face-of-ferrante/\">Guernica\x3c/a>\x3c/em>, Ferrante’s American translator Ann Goldstein shared an interesting reflection on the reasons for this choice: “The obvious reason Ferrante doesn’t use dialect is because many Italians wouldn’t understand it. But a second reason may be that, as an Italian professor at CUNY was saying, Neapolitan dialect is very much a spoken language, and if she were writing it, there would be no point, in a way. It would lose the character that it has as a spoken language.”\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So it’s not by chance that the characters in the TV series based on \x3c/span>\x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.hbo.com/my-brilliant-friend\">\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Brilliant Friend\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3c/a>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> speak in the Neapolitan dialect, perhaps exactly because it’s a natural medium to bring across the essence of the spoken dialect.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>\x3cb>Inclusion/Exclusion\x3c/b>\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dialect–standard Italian duo closely concerns the two main characters of the Neapolitan novels, Elena and Lila. They both use language to convey their identity in the world.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Elena, who is unhappy in the poor and violent circumstances of her childhood, adopting standard Italian is a way to emancipate herself from her neighborhood. But at the same time, it becomes a barrier that separates her from her family and her friends. \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There’s a wonderful and poignant scene where Elena, back in Naples after getting her diploma in Pisa, forces herself to talk to her mother and discovers a new barrier to communication: \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cdiv class=\"pullquote\">\x3cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\">“Language itself, in fact, had become a mark of alienation. I expressed myself in a way that was too complex for her, although I made an effort to speak in dialect, and when I realized that and simplified the sentences, the simplification made them unnatural and therefore confusing. Besides, the effort I had made to get rid of my Neapolitan accent hadn’t convinced the Pisans but was convincing to her, my father, my siblings, the whole neighborhood.” \x3c/span>\x3c/div>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Pisa, Elena feels excluded because of her Neapolitan accent, but in Naples they call her “the Pisan” and mock her for speaking standard Italian. \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question of \x3c/span>mastering a language as a means for inclusion on one hand and exclusion on the other\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not only concerns the general social sphere, but also interpersonal relationships. \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning of the book, speaking standard Italian brings Elena and Lila together. As children, they enthusiastically speak “in the language of comics and books,” which inevitably excludes others in their neighborhood. \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the situation changes shortly afterward, when standard Italian becomes more often the language of concealment — as opposed to dialect, which is the language of authenticity — becoming an obstacle destined to divide the two protagonists. \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narrating one of her last conversations with Lila, Elena says,\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cdiv class=\"pullquote\">\x3cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\">“It occurred to me that it was now a linguistic question. She resorted to Italian as if to a barrier; I tried to push her toward dialect, our language of candor. But while her Italian was translated from dialect, my dialect was increasingly translated from Italian, and we both spoke a false language.”\x3c/span>\x3c/div>\n\x3ch2>\x3cb>A Difficult Translation\x3c/b>\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a text like Neapolitan novels, so closely linked to Naples and Italian history, transposing into another language is far from a piece of cake, and the problems go past just dealing with Italian dialects. \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the descriptions of the city and the historical, political and cultural references, one of the concepts that gave translators the most difficulty is \x3c/span>\x3cem>smarginatura\x3c/em>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“On December 31st of 1958 Lila had her first episode of dissolving margins. The term isn’t mine, she always used it. She said that on those occasions the outlines of people and things suddenly dissolved, disappeared.”\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ann Goldstein explains that \x3cem>smarginatura\x3c/em> is a technical term from the field of typography which means “cutting off the margins of a page.” She started with the literal translation “trimming the edges,” “losing the edges,” then “dissolving the margins” or “dissolving the boundaries,” ending up with “dissolving margins,” an expression that – according to her – “better expresses the emotional substance and the original meaning of the word at the same time.”\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n","excerpt":"\x3cp>Italian dialects show just how difficult the task of translation can be.\x3c/p>\n","metadata":{"dateGmt":"2019-12-09T13:00:21","guid":{"rendered":"https://www.babbel.com/"},"modifiedGmt":"2019-12-09T15:04:26","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/italian-dialects-neapolitan-novels","author":97,"featuredMedia":72851,"commentStatus":"closed","pingStatus":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"isLiveSpecific":false,"spayEmail":"","babbelOpenGraphDescription":"","babbelOpenGraphImage":0,"babbelOpenGraphTitle":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[{"id":1308,"slug":"italian","label":"Italian"},{"id":1305,"slug":"italian-culture","label":"Italian Culture"},{"id":1307,"slug":"italian-words","label":"Italian Words"}],"postTemplate":[],"jetpackFeaturedMediaUrl":"https://i0.wp.com/cms.babbel.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/3ab7ce0708bd5bc66525822fac6961c005d211a72cf2257e124d11e354b6f0bb8083696b70e25740358ab80d0ecc8679.jpg?fit=4500%2C3000&strip=none&ssl=1","coauthors":[{"id":"23891","displayName":"Silvia Gilardi","firstName":"","lastName":"","slug":"silvia","relativePath":"/en/magazine/contributors/silvia","absolutePath":"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/contributors/silvia","description":"\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ghostwriter and creative writing teacher, Silvia is a voracious reader.

When we refer to the Neapolitan dialect, it’s important that we differentiate it from the Neapolitan language first. The Neapolitan dialect is a regional variant of Italian spoken in the city of Naples and the surrounding area, while the Neapolitan language is an entirely separate language that’s spoken across different regions of Italy and encompasses the dialects that were spoken in the kingdoms of Two Sicilies.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Neapolitan differs from other Italian dialects in a few different ways, but one of the most noticeable is Neapolitan expressions. As with any dialect, the speakers have countless phrases individual to them, and learning them is a great way to get more insight into the region. Here, we’ll look at some of our favorite Neapolitan expressions. But first, it’s worth it to look at the context the Neapolitan dialect exists in.\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Little History Of The Neapolitan Dialect\x3c/span>\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first written record of the Neapolitan dialect can be found in the Placiti Cassinesi. The Placiti are four legal testaments that were written between 960 and 963. Neapolitan has an extremely rich written history. The first piece written in prose was a chronicle from the 12th century. Despite its storied history, the dialect has had good and bad fortune depending on who’s been in power. Though there were attempts to make the Neapolitan dialect gradually disappear, it has survived for centuries thanks to its strong literary tradition. The most notable work comes from Giambattista Basile, a writer who lived between the 16th and 17th century.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the middle of the 15th century, the Aragon royal family attempted to regulate the use of the Neapolitan dialect. More specifically, the family attempted stamp it out of existence. They encouraged using the Tuscan dialect which had emerged as the literary lingua franca equally as dignified as Latin. The decline of the Aragon family led to a Neapolitan dialect renaissance, though Tuscan did end up becoming prevalent in the city and region.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regardless, thanks to the popular literary works from authors like Eduardo di Filippo and \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/italian-dialects-neapolitan-novels\">Elena Ferrante\x3c/a>, the Neapolitan music school, and \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/italian-dialects-in-music\">pop music\x3c/a> (from 99 Posse to Almamegretta, from Liberato to Nu Genea), the Neapolitan dialect has survived and thrived, becoming even more popular and widespread. The dialect isn’t just popular in Naples; its popularity has spread throughout all of Italy and abroad. Songs like “O sole mio,” for example, are widely known abroad and represent one of countless shining examples of this beautiful language.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It would be impossible to fit all Neapolitan expressions into one article given its centuries-old history. Instead, we made a list of a few the most famous and notable Neapolitan expressions and added a few fun facts that might not be as well-known outside the region. \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jamme jà\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">!\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our Favorite Neapolitan Idioms And Expressions\x3c/span>\x3c/h2>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cstrong>\x3cem>A pisce fetiente \x3c/em>\x3c/strong>—\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> when something is \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a pisce fetiente, \x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">or “to smelly fish,” it means that a situation has turned into a violent fight.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cstrong>\x3cem>A quatt’e bastune\x3c/em>\x3c/strong>— \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">to be “on four walking sticks” means to be fully relaxed.

Instead, they’re weighing the pros and cons of a decision.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Gente ‘e miez’ ‘a via\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">people on the street live from hand to mouth to get by.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Ha da passa’ ‘a nuttata\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> one of the most celebrated Neapolitan expressions was used for the first time by Eduardo de Filippo in the comedy \x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042780/\">\x3ci>Side Street Story\x3c/i>\x3c/a>\x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">and essentially means that you have to keep going during the hard times (the \x3cem>nuttata\x3c/em>) because better times are ahead.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Inta a scurdata\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Neapolitans say this when something was never forgotten and the time has come to right a wrong.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Jamme bell’, jà!\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this is one of the most well-known Neapolitan expressions outside of Naples, and it literally means “Come on, beautiful, come on!”\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>L’acqua è poca e ‘a papera nun galleggia\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this expression literally means “there’s so little water not even a duck could float.” Neapolitans use this expression when a situation is really bad.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Mmange, ca ru ttuoie mange\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this literally means “eat because otherwise you’ll eat from your plate.” The meaning isn’t easy to guess from the literal translation, but Neapolitans use this expression for someone who tries to use a situation to their advantage without realizing that they themselves will face the consequences later on.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Me dai na voce\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — literally\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> “give me a voice,” this expressions means “let me know.”\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Metterse ntridece\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this curious expression sounds similar to a \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/sicilian-phrases\">Sicilian expression\x3c/a>, but it has a different meaning. Someone who “puts themselves in thirteen” is someone who sticks their nose where it doesn’t belong.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘Nu guaio ‘e notte\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> literally translating to “a pickle in the night,” this expression means a disaster, or a serious predicament that’s practically impossible to solve.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘O ciuccio ‘e Fechella\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this Neapolitan expression definitely stands out because of its origin story. \x3cem>L’asino di Fechella\x3c/em>, or “Fechella’s donkey,” is an expression used for people who are ill. It seems like a certain Fechella had a particularly sickly donkey that was ill-adapted for carrying things.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘O guappo ‘e cartone\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the \x3cem>guappo\x3c/em> is an arrogant guy, and when they’re \x3cem>di cartone\x3c/em> it means that they’re all bark and no bite.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘O munaciello\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">this mythical creature is a type of elf endowed with magical powers that can either be good or bad. You can hear them being talked about when something inexplicable happens in the house.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Parlà mazzecato\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> someone who only tells half of the story, whether it’s because of spinelessness or calculation.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Rutto pe’ rutto\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — literally\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> “broken for broken,” it means at this point what’s done is done, what happens happens.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Scarte frúscio e piglie primera\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">if you’re a fan of the musical artist Liberato, you might be familiar with this expression. The literal translation doesn’t quite match up with its current use (because it refers to a card game that’s no longer played), but the expression’s meaning is clear: it’s when you try to avoid a mess and end up in a worse situation.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Se so rotte le giarretelle\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cem>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> g\x3c/span>\x3c/em>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">iarratelle\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are small pitchers, and this phrase refers to them breaking. It means a very solid bond between two people has been broken.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Si’ ‘nu babbà\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Neapolitan expressions are closely linked to local cuisine, and this expression is no exception. When someone says that they’re a \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">babbà\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, i\x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">t means that they’re saying they’re darling or a doll.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Statte buono\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the ultimate sendoff, meaning “fare thee well.”\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Stann’ cazz’ e cucchiar\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> no, this isn’t a vulgar expression. It literally means “like a bucket for the mortar and the trowel.” The actual meaning refers to two people who understand each other perfectly.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Tene’ ‘a neva ‘int’ ‘a sacca\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">someone who “has snow in their pocket” is someone who’s in a rush. Maybe they’re afraid the snow will melt?\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Tene’ l’arteteca\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> means “to be rambunctious.” \x3cem>Arteteca\x3c/em> is a rheumatic fever that causes spasms and was once common in children.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Tène ‘o mmale ‘e ndindò: a isso lle vène e a me no\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> means something to the effect of “you have ridiculitis, but I don’t get sick from it.” But what does \x3cem>male di dindò\x3c/em> mean? It’s an expression for someone who’s allergic to hard work, so it’s a malady that afflicts every slacker when there’s work to do.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Zittu zitto, ‘nmiezo ‘o mercato\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> someone who does things “hush hush in the middle of the market” thinks they’re acting stealthily but everyone can see them, and therefore they’re drawing attention to themselves.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3cp>\x3cem>This article was originally published on the \x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://it.babbel.com/it/magazine/i-modi-di-dire-napoletani-da-conoscere\">Italian\x3c/a> edition of Babbel Magazine.\x3c/em>\x3c/p>\n","excerpt":"\x3cp>Heading to Naples?

Maybe you vaguely remember hearing about them in an English class that you took years ago. But you probably haven’t thought about them since. That’s totally understandable, but whether we know it or not, rhetorical devices play a surprisingly large role in our daily speech. Sometimes we use them without even realizing it. Whether they’re used to illustrate sound, order or meaning (we’ll explain all these in a bit), rhetorical devices are widely used across the board, especially in advertising and marketing. Without further ado, we’d like to share our list of the 20 most common rhetorical devices that you can use to impress your friends and family or win a free round of drinks at the next trivia night at your local bar.\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>What Are Rhetorical Devices?\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>Before we dive into the different types of rhetorical devices, we should probably review what exactly they are. “Rhetorical devices” refer to figures of speech that are used to achieve a certain effect. Essentially, they’re a way to deviate from everyday language by taking advantage of the power of words.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Words have connotative value: on one hand, they have their denotation, which is their true and correct meaning. On the other hand, words have a set of meanings that are generally attributed to them. For example, the word “heart” literally refers to the organ at the center of your circulatory system. But it can also have a wide variety of connotations or alternative meanings: a person “with a good heart” is someone who’s kind and helpful to others. The “heart” of a system is its center, and someone who is “lionhearted” is extremely brave. Rhetorical devices don’t use just one meaning or connotation; they also take advantage of different word orders and structures.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Rhetorical devices are most commonly used in literature, but they can also appear in the most unexpected places. They’re an intrinsic part of language, and they’ve probably been around since the beginning of language itself. Even in Ancient Rome, rhetoric students studied the art of classifying words. Early examples of rhetorical devices can even be found in the Bible.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Rhetorical devices can be roughly classified into three different groups:\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sound-related rhetorical devices: these figures of speech take advantage of a word or phrase’s rhythmic or phonetic sound. The most famous examples are alliteration, assonance and puns.\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">Order-related rhetorical devices: these devices modify the normal order of words within a phrase or sentence. The most well-known examples are anaphoras, anastrophes, asyndeton, chiasmus, omissions, hyperbaton and polysyndeton.\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meaning-related rhetorical devices: these types of devices use the word’s semantic aspect, or their meaning. Some examples are hyperbole, litotes, metaphors, metonymy, oxymorons, similes, synecdoche and synesthesia.\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3ch2>What Is Figurative Language?\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>To understand the many rhetorical devices that exist in the English language, it’s important that we first discuss figurative language. Figurative language is the form of communication that rhetorical devices fall under. More specifically, it is when words and phrases stray from their strict, dictionary definition to create new meanings. Most commonly, figurative language is used in poetry and other creative prose. However, it also is used in everyday language in the form of expressions or to refer to something without directly saying it.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Take the expression “the news hit me like a ton of bricks”. Figuratively speaking, it’s used to quantify the impact of a piece of news on someone. However, when taken literally, this expression doesn’t make much sense. To note the obvious, the news itself doesn’t carry physical weight and it’s also not actually hitting anyone, as it’s a concept. Additionally, there is of course no ton of bricks hitting the person in question,which is where the importance of the preposition “like” comes in. The use of “like” in this sentence ultimately changes the meaning and makes this sentence identifiable as a “simile”. A simile is one of the many forms that figurative language takes.

There’s a reason why technical jargon is usually used only by literature students and aficionados. Some terms are used so often that they’ve become commonplace in everyday speech, however. Antithesis is one of these words. Simply put, antithesis refers to juxtaposing two words with opposite meanings. In layman’s terms, it refers to some sort of contrast (like contrasting ideas.)\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of antithesis:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants, as long as it is black.” — Henry Ford\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“To err is human; to forgive divine.” -Alexander Pope\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3ch3>Asyndeton\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>Asyndeton is a list of words that are connected by using punctuation instead of conjunctions like “and” or “or.”\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of asyndeton:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” — Abraham Lincoln\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I came, I saw, I conquered.” — Julius Caesar\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3ch3>Chiasmus\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>Chiasmus is the crossed arrangement of two words or groups of words according to the AB-BA format.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of chiasmus:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.” — Alfred North Whitehead\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them.” — Walt Whitman\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the going gets tough, the tough get going.\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3ch3>Omission\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>Omission is the elimination of one or more words that remain understood despite being removed.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of omission:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Hope is a thing with feathers/That perches in the soul.” — Emily Dickinson\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“And he to England shall along with you.” — William Shakespeare\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3ch3>Hyperbaton\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>Not to be confused with anastrophe, hyperbaton consists of distancing a word from the word that it should be placed closer to.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of hyperbaton:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Object there was none.

Metaphors use words or phrases to indicate something that isn’t often denoted by that word or phrase. Metaphors can sometimes be confused with similes, metonymy or synecdoche, but each of these devices have their own unique characteristics.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of metaphors:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli>Daniel is a sheep.

These two rhetorical devices are very similar. However, while metonymy substitutes one word or phrase with another that has a close logical or material proximity, synecdoche substitutes a word or phrase with another term representing a part of it (or vice versa: it uses a broader term to refer to something that it’s a part of). Metonymy expresses a qualitative relationship between the two terms, while synecdoche represents a quantitative relationship.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of synecdoche:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">The feline attacked the antelope. (in this case, the broader term feline, the family that the animal belongs to, is used to denote a tiger)\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears” — William Shakespeare\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brain drain (when people educated in their native country seek opportunities in other countries. In this case, it’s not the brains physically leaving the country but the academic talent)\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3ch3>Synesthesia\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>Synesthesia is a type of metaphor that’s created by connecting two unrelated senses.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of synesthesia:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man’s hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report what my dream was.” — William Shakespeare\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Thy voice was a censer that scattered strange perfumes, and when I looked on thee I heard a strange music.” — Oscar Wilde\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Back to the region where the sun is silent.” — Dante\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3cp>\x3cem> A version of this article originally appeared on the \x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://it.babbel.com/it/magazine/elenco-figure-retoriche\">Italian\x3c/a> edition of Babbel Magazine.\x3c/em>\x3c/p>\n","excerpt":"\x3cp>If you want to learn the difference between synecdoche and metonymy, you’ve come to the right place.\x3c/p>\n","metadata":{"dateGmt":"2023-11-16T13:00:00","guid":{"rendered":"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/"},"modifiedGmt":"2024-06-07T09:53:53","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/most-common-rhetorical-techniques","author":302,"featuredMedia":154091,"commentStatus":"closed","pingStatus":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"isLiveSpecific":false,"spayEmail":"","babbelOpenGraphDescription":"","babbelOpenGraphImage":0,"babbelOpenGraphTitle":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[{"id":1261,"slug":"english","label":"English"},{"id":1260,"slug":"english-words","label":"English Words"},{"id":40564,"slug":"requested-for-sv","label":"Requested for SV"}],"postTemplate":[],"jetpackFeaturedMediaUrl":"https://i0.wp.com/cms.babbel.news/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Two-people-gesturing-to-one-another.png?fit=1200%2C675&strip=none&ssl=1","coauthors":[{"id":"107172","displayName":"Daniele Vallotto","firstName":"Daniele","lastName":"Vallotto","slug":"daniele-vallotto","relativePath":"/en/magazine/contributors/daniele-vallotto","absolutePath":"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/contributors/daniele-vallotto","description":"\x3cp>Daniele has a degree in literature, during which he studied linguistics and philology, and also one in communication, where he studied new media languages.

Although Genoese is only one of several variants found in Liguria, it remains the most prestigious and widespread. That’s why many of the Genoese words and phrases we’ll encounter in this article can also be considered Ligurian phrases.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>As is often the case when it comes to regional dialects and languages, the boundaries can be very fluid. What we can be sure of is that both the Ligurian language and the Genoese dialect have very ancient roots, and Genoa’s historical importance over the ages has left traces of Genoese in many languages, including Italian.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In particular, many of the words Italian has borrowed from Genoese are maritime terms, including \x3ca href=\"https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/scoglio2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\x3cem>scoglio\x3c/em> (“rock, cliff”)\x3c/a>, \x3cem>gassa\x3c/em> (“bowline knot”), and \x3cem>bolentino\x3c/em> (a type of fishing line). And Genoa’s history has seen its own language borrow from others in turn: \x3cem>darsena\x3c/em> (“dockyard”) comes from Arabic (as do many Italian words), while \x3cem>travaggio\x3c/em> (work) is derived from French. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In short, Genoese is a truly fascinating dialect with plenty of history behind it, which is why we chose to put together a list of our favorite Genoese words and phrases!\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch2 id=\"h-20-genoese-phrases-you-should-know\">20 Genoese Phrases You Should Know\x3c/h2>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Manimàn\x3c/em> (or \x3cem>manaman\x3c/em>)\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>\x3cem>Manimàn\x3c/em> essentially means “you never know,” sometimes used as a sincere warning (“you never know, you might get caught!”), but often as a sarcastic remark, like telling someone a bit lazy: “you never know, you might overdo it!” Either way, it denotes uncertainty: \x3cem>prendi l’ombrello, manimàn piove\x3c/em> (“take an umbrella, you never know, it might rain”).\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Perlengueuia\x3c/em> (or \x3cem>perlengueuia\x3c/em>)\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>\x3cem>Perlengueuia\x3c/em> is a wicked curse, or the evil eye. Although its etymological origins are somewhat mysterious, it seems to derive from a verb meaning “to consume,” in the sense that the evil eye wears you down and consumes you bit by bit.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Ciattella\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>\x3cem>Ciattella\x3c/em> refers to a “gossipy person,” and it can also be used as a verb. So when a bunch of friends in Genoa get together to dish, they say \x3cem>si ciattella\x3c/em>. The literal meaning of \x3cem>ciattella\x3c/em> is “crab”, as in a pubic louse, that particularly irritating insect that burrows away in the more intimate parts of the human body. So calling someone a \x3cem>ciatella\x3c/em> in Genoa is not exactly a huge compliment.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Belin\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Now we come to arguably the most famous Genoese word in Italy: \x3cem>belin\x3c/em>. We could dedicate a whole article to this one little word, not only for its etymology but also for the multitude of Genoese phrases related to it. In any case, \x3cem>belin\x3c/em> is the quintessential Genoese curse word: literally, it refers to the male sex organ, but it definitely has a huge variety of other applications. To name a few:\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cul>\x3cli>\x3cem>A belin de can\x3c/em> — poorly made\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Abelinàto\x3c/em> — someone not very smart\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Belinare\x3c/em> — to deceive\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Belinat\x3c/em>e — something very easy or something done clumsily\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Imbelinarsi\x3c/em> — to trip over\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Imbelinare\x3c/em> — to place something carelessly or to create confusion\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Me n’imbelino\x3c/em> — damn (in an emphatic sense)\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Portâ via u belìn\x3c/em> — to buzz off, to go away\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Tiâ o belìn\x3c/em> — to make fun of\x3c/li>\x3c/ul>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Moccio\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Among the most common Genoese words and phrases, you’ll also find a few false friends, including \x3cem>moccio\x3c/em>. In Genoa, this isn’t a “booger” like it is in standard Italian, it’s a bun – as in tying your hair up behind your head.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Refrescumme\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>You know that smell of eggs and fish that sometimes lingers on dishes, even after you’ve washed them? Well, the Genoese have a word for that: \x3cem>refrescumme\x3c/em>, which is very similar to the \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/5-venetian-words-that-took-the-world-by-storm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Venetian term \x3cem>freschin\x3c/em>\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Piscio e vegno\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Out of all the Genoese phrases, this is probably the funniest. Don’t take it too literally (“I’ll pee and come back”)! This is actually how people in Genoa refer to…matchsticks, specifically the very long ones. That’s right: the ones so long you have enough time to light them, go to the bathroom and they’ll still be lit when you get back… An inspired phrase, no?\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>\x3cem>Ghignon\x3c/em>\x3c/strong>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Rather than a derisive smirk or snigger — like \x3cem>ghigno\x3c/em> in standard Italian — the Genoese \x3cem>ghignon\x3c/em> is closer in meaning to “displeasure” or even “anger.” The term’s origin is Basque, \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/basque-language\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of the oldest languages in the world\x3c/a>: another sign of the Genoese dialect’s cultural importance over the centuries and its many historical links to other languages and cultures.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>\x3cem>No basta manco Maraggian\x3c/em>\x3c/strong>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>This curious phrase relates to a real-life historical figure: Edoardo Maragliano, a doctor who developed the tuberculosis vaccine. He was, among other things, an Italian senator, as well as a prominent figure in Genoa. Today, he’s immortalized in this expression. In Genoa, when you find yourself in financial trouble, you can say \x3cem>no basta manco Maraggian\x3c/em>, implying not even the great Maragliano could have unraveled such a complex situation.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Gondon\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>\x3cem>Gondon\x3c/em> literally means “condom,” but in Genoese it refers to someone who — to put it nicely — isn’t very smart.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Essere nella bratta \x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In and around Genoa, \x3cem>bratta\x3c/em> is the word for “mud.” So when someone is \x3cem>nella bratta\x3c/em>, it means they’re in trouble or that something will be very tricky to obtain. For example: \x3cem>è bratta trovare i biglietti per quel concerto\x3c/em> (“those concert tickets will be hard to get”).\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Cianin Cianin\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Like so many \x3ca href=\"https://it.babbel.com/it/magazine/espressioni-italiane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">idioms\x3c/a>, \x3cem>cianin cianin\x3c/em> can be used in different ways depending on the context. As an Italian speaker might be able to deduce, it means “slowly, slowly,” said either as a sage piece of advice, like to someone about to act rashly in an ugly situation, or sarcastically, like to someone who always takes things that little bit too easy. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Rebigo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In Genoese, a \x3cem>rebigo\x3c/em> is a long, winding road, and the term can be used to describe a journey somewhere that was particularly tortuous.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Tapullo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Stereotypically speaking, the Genoese are a thrifty lot, a view that a number of Genoese phrases only seem to confirm: for example, \x3cem>tapullo\x3c/em> refers to an improvised, quick-fix solution when something breaks and you don’t want to spend money on a new one. It also works as a verb (\x3cem>tapullare\x3c/em>), meaning “to put a bandaid over something” in the figurative sense.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Attacca pomelli\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In standard Italian, an \x3cem>attaccabottone\x3c/em> refers to a chatterbox; in Genoa, they say \x3cem>attacca pomelli\x3c/em>. The latter has a more negative connotation though, closer in meaning to “windbag” or “blabbermouth.”\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Sciachelo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Yet another Genoese word that’s hard to take as a compliment: \x3cem>sciachelo\x3c/em> refers to the type of people who are easily taken advantage of because they’re too trusting or naive.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Cucullo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>These fried chickpea flour fritters are a must-have for anyone looking to try Genoese street food. But watch out: if you call someone this, it means you think they’re a gullible fool!\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Gabibbo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>No list of Genoese phrases would be complete without that most iconic of words: \x3cem>gabibbo\x3c/em>. Having been popularized by the satirical TV show \x3cem>Striscia la notizia\x3c/em>, the term has a very curious history. It turns out \x3cem>gabibbo\x3c/em> is how Genoese sailors referred to the longshoremen of a port in present-day Eritrea; it’s a corruption of Habib, a very common name in that region. Ever since, the term has been used to denote anyone not originally from Liguria.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Besugo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>If you know \x3cem>Gabibbo\x3c/em> from \x3cem>Striscia la notizia\x3c/em>, you’ve almost certainly heard him say \x3cem>besugo\x3c/em>, which is the dialect term for a type of sea bream (\x3cem>pagellus bogaraveo\x3c/em>) that’s also used in Genoa to refer to someone not too smart.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Loasso\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Sticking with the fish theme: the Genoese dialect has so many fish-related insults, \x3cem>loasso\x3c/em> being one of the most famous. This is the local word for sea bass and represents yet another way to call someone a fool.\x3c/p>\n","excerpt":"\x3cp>What’s gabibbo?\x3c/p>\n","metadata":{"dateGmt":"2023-08-01T13:00:34","guid":{"rendered":"https://it.babbel.com/it/magazine/"},"modifiedGmt":"2023-08-01T13:22:14","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/genoese-words-and-phrases","author":302,"featuredMedia":149978,"commentStatus":"closed","pingStatus":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"isLiveSpecific":false,"spayEmail":"","babbelOpenGraphDescription":"","babbelOpenGraphImage":0,"babbelOpenGraphTitle":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[{"id":1308,"slug":"italian","label":"Italian"},{"id":1305,"slug":"italian-culture","label":"Italian Culture"},{"id":1307,"slug":"italian-words","label":"Italian Words"}],"postTemplate":[],"jetpackFeaturedMediaUrl":"https://i0.wp.com/cms.babbel.news/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Translation_Genoese_Words_And_Phrases.png?fit=1200%2C675&strip=none&ssl=1","coauthors":[{"id":"107172","displayName":"Daniele Vallotto","firstName":"Daniele","lastName":"Vallotto","slug":"daniele-vallotto","relativePath":"/en/magazine/contributors/daniele-vallotto","absolutePath":"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/contributors/daniele-vallotto","description":"\x3cp>Daniele has a degree in literature, during which he studied linguistics and philology, and also one in communication, where he studied new media languages.

As recently as the 20th century, there has been war and division that split one language into many. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>The languages spoken in the Balkans belong to different groups. One of the most widespread languages is Croatian, one of the four variants that belong to the so-called \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/yugoslavian-language-dialect\">Serbo-Croatian language\x3c/a>. In this article, we’ll explore the history and present of the Croatian language.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch2 id=\"\\"h-storia-della-lingua-croata\\"\">The History Of The Croatian Language\x3c/h2>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>The Origins\x3c/strong> Of Croatian\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>The Croatian language is linked to the migration of Slavic peoples to the Balkans between the sixth and seventh centuries. The first written evidence of this language, however, dates back to the 11th century: it is the Bescanuova stone, which was found on the island of Veglia (or Krk) in 1851, and is an inscription that attested to the donation of some land. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>The gravestone also has a high symbolic value because it is the first time that the Croatian language and the word “Croatia” (Hrvatski) are mentioned, and it is therefore in some way the birth of the Croatian people and their language. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>The Bescanuova tombstone isn’t written in the Latin alphabet (the one we use), but rather in the Glagolitic alphabet, which is the oldest known Slavic alphabet, invented by two evangelists who are also two crucial figures in Slavic culture: Cyril and Methodius. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>The Birth Of Serbo-Croatian\x3c/strong>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>You may have often heard, rather than of the Serbian or Croatian language, of the “Serbo-Croatian” language. What’s it all about? Is Serbian the same as Croatian? Well, not exactly, but it’s true that these two languages are very similar, and for a time were considered a single language. It’s true that the two remain mutually intelligible, however.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In the 19th century, various writers and intellectuals from Serbia and Croatia began to push for what they called a literary unification. These efforts culminated in the so-called Literary Agreement of Vienna (1850), which defined a common spelling system and pronunciation. The ultimate goal was to achieve a definitive linguistic union. We can therefore define this agreement as the founding act of the Serbo-Croatian language.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>It was the triumph of the Illyrian movement, a cultural movement connected to the rise of the Serbian and Croatian nationalist movements. The goal was to create a single language and literature for a single people. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>After the end of World War I, Serbs and Croats (but not only) all found themselves part of the same country, the newly formed Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which dissolved after the fall of the Berlin Wall and a bloody war. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>The End Of Serbo-Croatian\x3c/strong>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In short, the history of Serbo-Croatian is closely linked to the political history of Serbia and Croatia, so we could say that this language, in fact, no longer exists today. The official language of Serbia is Serbian, and the official language of Croatia, as mentioned, is Croatian. In addition to Serbian and Croatian, there are two other standardized varieties of what was known as Serbo-Croatian: Bosnian, spoken in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegrin, spoken in (can you guess?) Montenegro.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch2>How Many People Speak Croatian?\x3c/h2>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>According to \x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.ethnologue.com/language/hrv/\">Ethnologue\x3c/a>, there are about 6.4 million people who speak Croatian. Of these, 5 million people speak it as a mother tongue, and most of them live in Croatia. In addition to Croatia, Croatian is an official language in Bosnia and Herzegovina.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>The Dialects Of The Croatian Language\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>There are three Croatian dialects:\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cul>\x3cli>Ciacavo, a dialect spoken primarily on the coast.\x3c/li>\x3cli>The Caicavo dialect, which is spoken in the north of the country.\x3c/li>\x3cli>The Stocavo dialect, which is spoken in the interior, mainly to the east and south.\x3c/li>\x3c/ul>\n\n\n\n\x3ch2>What Alphabet Does The Croatian Language Use?\x3c/h2>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Although the first Croatian texts were written in the Glagolitic alphabet, it was quickly replaced by the Latin alphabet. The Glagolitic alphabet, however, didn’t disappear completely and is still used in liturgical contexts. For everyday life, however, the Latin alphabet is used, which is the same as the one we use, although Croatian uses more diacritical marks.

It would lose the character that it has as a spoken language.”\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So it’s not by chance that the characters in the TV series based on \x3c/span>\x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.hbo.com/my-brilliant-friend\">\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Brilliant Friend\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3c/a>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> speak in the Neapolitan dialect, perhaps exactly because it’s a natural medium to bring across the essence of the spoken dialect.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>\x3cb>Inclusion/Exclusion\x3c/b>\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dialect–standard Italian duo closely concerns the two main characters of the Neapolitan novels, Elena and Lila. They both use language to convey their identity in the world.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Elena, who is unhappy in the poor and violent circumstances of her childhood, adopting standard Italian is a way to emancipate herself from her neighborhood. But at the same time, it becomes a barrier that separates her from her family and her friends. \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There’s a wonderful and poignant scene where Elena, back in Naples after getting her diploma in Pisa, forces herself to talk to her mother and discovers a new barrier to communication: \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cdiv class=\"pullquote\">\x3cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\">“Language itself, in fact, had become a mark of alienation. I expressed myself in a way that was too complex for her, although I made an effort to speak in dialect, and when I realized that and simplified the sentences, the simplification made them unnatural and therefore confusing. Besides, the effort I had made to get rid of my Neapolitan accent hadn’t convinced the Pisans but was convincing to her, my father, my siblings, the whole neighborhood.” \x3c/span>\x3c/div>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Pisa, Elena feels excluded because of her Neapolitan accent, but in Naples they call her “the Pisan” and mock her for speaking standard Italian. \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question of \x3c/span>mastering a language as a means for inclusion on one hand and exclusion on the other\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not only concerns the general social sphere, but also interpersonal relationships. \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning of the book, speaking standard Italian brings Elena and Lila together. As children, they enthusiastically speak “in the language of comics and books,” which inevitably excludes others in their neighborhood. \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the situation changes shortly afterward, when standard Italian becomes more often the language of concealment — as opposed to dialect, which is the language of authenticity — becoming an obstacle destined to divide the two protagonists. \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narrating one of her last conversations with Lila, Elena says,\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cdiv class=\"pullquote\">\x3cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\">“It occurred to me that it was now a linguistic question. She resorted to Italian as if to a barrier; I tried to push her toward dialect, our language of candor. But while her Italian was translated from dialect, my dialect was increasingly translated from Italian, and we both spoke a false language.”\x3c/span>\x3c/div>\n\x3ch2>\x3cb>A Difficult Translation\x3c/b>\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a text like Neapolitan novels, so closely linked to Naples and Italian history, transposing into another language is far from a piece of cake, and the problems go past just dealing with Italian dialects. \x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the descriptions of the city and the historical, political and cultural references, one of the concepts that gave translators the most difficulty is \x3c/span>\x3cem>smarginatura\x3c/em>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“On December 31st of 1958 Lila had her first episode of dissolving margins. The term isn’t mine, she always used it. She said that on those occasions the outlines of people and things suddenly dissolved, disappeared.”\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ann Goldstein explains that \x3cem>smarginatura\x3c/em> is a technical term from the field of typography which means “cutting off the margins of a page.” She started with the literal translation “trimming the edges,” “losing the edges,” then “dissolving the margins” or “dissolving the boundaries,” ending up with “dissolving margins,” an expression that – according to her – “better expresses the emotional substance and the original meaning of the word at the same time.”\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n","excerpt":"\x3cp>Italian dialects show just how difficult the task of translation can be.\x3c/p>\n"},"scripts":[]},"81009":{"filteredContent":{"content":"\n\x3cp>Eager to learn Italian, but not sure where to start?

When we refer to the Neapolitan dialect, it’s important that we differentiate it from the Neapolitan language first. The Neapolitan dialect is a regional variant of Italian spoken in the city of Naples and the surrounding area, while the Neapolitan language is an entirely separate language that’s spoken across different regions of Italy and encompasses the dialects that were spoken in the kingdoms of Two Sicilies.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Neapolitan differs from other Italian dialects in a few different ways, but one of the most noticeable is Neapolitan expressions. As with any dialect, the speakers have countless phrases individual to them, and learning them is a great way to get more insight into the region. Here, we’ll look at some of our favorite Neapolitan expressions. But first, it’s worth it to look at the context the Neapolitan dialect exists in.\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Little History Of The Neapolitan Dialect\x3c/span>\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first written record of the Neapolitan dialect can be found in the Placiti Cassinesi. The Placiti are four legal testaments that were written between 960 and 963. Neapolitan has an extremely rich written history. The first piece written in prose was a chronicle from the 12th century. Despite its storied history, the dialect has had good and bad fortune depending on who’s been in power. Though there were attempts to make the Neapolitan dialect gradually disappear, it has survived for centuries thanks to its strong literary tradition. The most notable work comes from Giambattista Basile, a writer who lived between the 16th and 17th century.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the middle of the 15th century, the Aragon royal family attempted to regulate the use of the Neapolitan dialect. More specifically, the family attempted stamp it out of existence. They encouraged using the Tuscan dialect which had emerged as the literary lingua franca equally as dignified as Latin. The decline of the Aragon family led to a Neapolitan dialect renaissance, though Tuscan did end up becoming prevalent in the city and region.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regardless, thanks to the popular literary works from authors like Eduardo di Filippo and \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/italian-dialects-neapolitan-novels\">Elena Ferrante\x3c/a>, the Neapolitan music school, and \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/italian-dialects-in-music\">pop music\x3c/a> (from 99 Posse to Almamegretta, from Liberato to Nu Genea), the Neapolitan dialect has survived and thrived, becoming even more popular and widespread. The dialect isn’t just popular in Naples; its popularity has spread throughout all of Italy and abroad. Songs like “O sole mio,” for example, are widely known abroad and represent one of countless shining examples of this beautiful language.\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It would be impossible to fit all Neapolitan expressions into one article given its centuries-old history. Instead, we made a list of a few the most famous and notable Neapolitan expressions and added a few fun facts that might not be as well-known outside the region. \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jamme jà\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">!\x3c/span>\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our Favorite Neapolitan Idioms And Expressions\x3c/span>\x3c/h2>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cstrong>\x3cem>A pisce fetiente \x3c/em>\x3c/strong>—\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> when something is \x3c/span>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a pisce fetiente, \x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">or “to smelly fish,” it means that a situation has turned into a violent fight.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cstrong>\x3cem>A quatt’e bastune\x3c/em>\x3c/strong>— \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">to be “on four walking sticks” means to be fully relaxed. This expression comes from the depiction of four walking sticks shown on Neapolitan cards.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cstrong>\x3cem>Alla sanfrason\x3c/em>\x3c/strong>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (or \x3c/span>\x3cstrong>\x3cem>alla sanfasò\x3c/em>\x3c/strong>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">) — a few Neapolitan expressions have French origins. \x3cem>Alla sanfrason\x3c/em> comes from the French expression \x3cem>sans façon\x3c/em>, meaning “haphazardly.”\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cstrong>\x3cem>Chiachiello \x3c/em>\x3c/strong>— \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">this term is used for someone who’s all talk.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Chino ‘i vacantarìa\x3c/strong> \x3c/em>— \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">literally meaning “full of emptiness,” this expression is used to describe something empty.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Dicette ‘o pappecio ‘n faccia ‘a noce: damme ‘o tiempo ca te spertos o.\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this is one of the most iconic Neapolitan expressions, literally meaning “The worm said to the walnut tree, give me time so I can burrow into you.” It’s a plea to not let go.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘E stramacchio\x3c/strong> \x3c/em>—\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> means “clandestinely” or “under wraps.”\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Fa ‘o paro e ‘o sparo\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> when someone is doing something “odds and evens” in Neapolitan, it doesn’t mean they’re deciding whether they’ll do something. Instead, they’re weighing the pros and cons of a decision.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Gente ‘e miez’ ‘a via\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">people on the street live from hand to mouth to get by.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Ha da passa’ ‘a nuttata\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> one of the most celebrated Neapolitan expressions was used for the first time by Eduardo de Filippo in the comedy \x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042780/\">\x3ci>Side Street Story\x3c/i>\x3c/a>\x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \x3c/span>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">and essentially means that you have to keep going during the hard times (the \x3cem>nuttata\x3c/em>) because better times are ahead.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Inta a scurdata\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Neapolitans say this when something was never forgotten and the time has come to right a wrong.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Jamme bell’, jà!\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this is one of the most well-known Neapolitan expressions outside of Naples, and it literally means “Come on, beautiful, come on!”\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>L’acqua è poca e ‘a papera nun galleggia\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this expression literally means “there’s so little water not even a duck could float.” Neapolitans use this expression when a situation is really bad.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Mmange, ca ru ttuoie mange\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this literally means “eat because otherwise you’ll eat from your plate.” The meaning isn’t easy to guess from the literal translation, but Neapolitans use this expression for someone who tries to use a situation to their advantage without realizing that they themselves will face the consequences later on.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Me dai na voce\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — literally\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> “give me a voice,” this expressions means “let me know.”\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Metterse ntridece\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this curious expression sounds similar to a \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/sicilian-phrases\">Sicilian expression\x3c/a>, but it has a different meaning. Someone who “puts themselves in thirteen” is someone who sticks their nose where it doesn’t belong.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘Nu guaio ‘e notte\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> literally translating to “a pickle in the night,” this expression means a disaster, or a serious predicament that’s practically impossible to solve.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘O ciuccio ‘e Fechella\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this Neapolitan expression definitely stands out because of its origin story. \x3cem>L’asino di Fechella\x3c/em>, or “Fechella’s donkey,” is an expression used for people who are ill. It seems like a certain Fechella had a particularly sickly donkey that was ill-adapted for carrying things.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘O guappo ‘e cartone\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the \x3cem>guappo\x3c/em> is an arrogant guy, and when they’re \x3cem>di cartone\x3c/em> it means that they’re all bark and no bite.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>‘O munaciello\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">this mythical creature is a type of elf endowed with magical powers that can either be good or bad. You can hear them being talked about when something inexplicable happens in the house.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Parlà mazzecato\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> someone who only tells half of the story, whether it’s because of spinelessness or calculation.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Rutto pe’ rutto\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — literally\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> “broken for broken,” it means at this point what’s done is done, what happens happens.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Scarte frúscio e piglie primera\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> — \x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">if you’re a fan of the musical artist Liberato, you might be familiar with this expression. The literal translation doesn’t quite match up with its current use (because it refers to a card game that’s no longer played), but the expression’s meaning is clear: it’s when you try to avoid a mess and end up in a worse situation.\x3c/span>\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\x3cem>\x3cstrong>Se so rotte le giarretelle\x3c/strong>\x3c/em> —\x3cem>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> g\x3c/span>\x3c/em>\x3ci>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">iarratelle\x3c/span>\x3c/i>\x3cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are small pitchers, and this phrase refers to them breaking.

Maybe you vaguely remember hearing about them in an English class that you took years ago. But you probably haven’t thought about them since. That’s totally understandable, but whether we know it or not, rhetorical devices play a surprisingly large role in our daily speech. Sometimes we use them without even realizing it. Whether they’re used to illustrate sound, order or meaning (we’ll explain all these in a bit), rhetorical devices are widely used across the board, especially in advertising and marketing. Without further ado, we’d like to share our list of the 20 most common rhetorical devices that you can use to impress your friends and family or win a free round of drinks at the next trivia night at your local bar.\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>What Are Rhetorical Devices?\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>Before we dive into the different types of rhetorical devices, we should probably review what exactly they are. “Rhetorical devices” refer to figures of speech that are used to achieve a certain effect. Essentially, they’re a way to deviate from everyday language by taking advantage of the power of words.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Words have connotative value: on one hand, they have their denotation, which is their true and correct meaning. On the other hand, words have a set of meanings that are generally attributed to them. For example, the word “heart” literally refers to the organ at the center of your circulatory system. But it can also have a wide variety of connotations or alternative meanings: a person “with a good heart” is someone who’s kind and helpful to others. The “heart” of a system is its center, and someone who is “lionhearted” is extremely brave. Rhetorical devices don’t use just one meaning or connotation; they also take advantage of different word orders and structures.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Rhetorical devices are most commonly used in literature, but they can also appear in the most unexpected places. They’re an intrinsic part of language, and they’ve probably been around since the beginning of language itself. Even in Ancient Rome, rhetoric students studied the art of classifying words. Early examples of rhetorical devices can even be found in the Bible.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Rhetorical devices can be roughly classified into three different groups:\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sound-related rhetorical devices: these figures of speech take advantage of a word or phrase’s rhythmic or phonetic sound. The most famous examples are alliteration, assonance and puns.\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">Order-related rhetorical devices: these devices modify the normal order of words within a phrase or sentence. The most well-known examples are anaphoras, anastrophes, asyndeton, chiasmus, omissions, hyperbaton and polysyndeton.\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meaning-related rhetorical devices: these types of devices use the word’s semantic aspect, or their meaning. Some examples are hyperbole, litotes, metaphors, metonymy, oxymorons, similes, synecdoche and synesthesia.\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3ch2>What Is Figurative Language?\x3c/h2>\n\x3cp>To understand the many rhetorical devices that exist in the English language, it’s important that we first discuss figurative language. Figurative language is the form of communication that rhetorical devices fall under. More specifically, it is when words and phrases stray from their strict, dictionary definition to create new meanings. Most commonly, figurative language is used in poetry and other creative prose. However, it also is used in everyday language in the form of expressions or to refer to something without directly saying it.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>Take the expression “the news hit me like a ton of bricks”. Figuratively speaking, it’s used to quantify the impact of a piece of news on someone. However, when taken literally, this expression doesn’t make much sense. To note the obvious, the news itself doesn’t carry physical weight and it’s also not actually hitting anyone, as it’s a concept. Additionally, there is of course no ton of bricks hitting the person in question,which is where the importance of the preposition “like” comes in. The use of “like” in this sentence ultimately changes the meaning and makes this sentence identifiable as a “simile”. A simile is one of the many forms that figurative language takes. These forms are better known as rhetorical devices, so let’s get into it.\x3c/p>\n\x3ch2>Sound-Related Rhetorical Devices\x3c/h2>\n\x3ch3>Alliteration\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>Alliteration refers to repeating a sound or a series of similar consonant sounds at the beginning of two or more words.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of alliteration:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trick or treat!\x3c/li>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">“From forth the fatal loins of these two foes . . .” — William Shakespeare\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n\x3ch3>Assonance\x3c/h3>\n\x3cp>Assonance resembles rhyming.

There’s a reason why technical jargon is usually used only by literature students and aficionados. Some terms are used so often that they’ve become commonplace in everyday speech, however. Antithesis is one of these words. Simply put, antithesis refers to juxtaposing two words with opposite meanings.

Metaphors use words or phrases to indicate something that isn’t often denoted by that word or phrase. Metaphors can sometimes be confused with similes, metonymy or synecdoche, but each of these devices have their own unique characteristics.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of metaphors:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli>Daniel is a sheep.

These two rhetorical devices are very similar. However, while metonymy substitutes one word or phrase with another that has a close logical or material proximity, synecdoche substitutes a word or phrase with another term representing a part of it (or vice versa: it uses a broader term to refer to something that it’s a part of). Metonymy expresses a qualitative relationship between the two terms, while synecdoche represents a quantitative relationship.\x3c/p>\n\x3cp>\x3ci>Examples of synecdoche:\x3c/i>\x3c/p>\n\x3cul>\n\x3cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">The feline attacked the antelope.

To name a few:\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cul>\x3cli>\x3cem>A belin de can\x3c/em> — poorly made\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Abelinàto\x3c/em> — someone not very smart\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Belinare\x3c/em> — to deceive\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Belinat\x3c/em>e — something very easy or something done clumsily\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Imbelinarsi\x3c/em> — to trip over\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Imbelinare\x3c/em> — to place something carelessly or to create confusion\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Me n’imbelino\x3c/em> — damn (in an emphatic sense)\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Portâ via u belìn\x3c/em> — to buzz off, to go away\x3c/li>\x3cli>\x3cem>Tiâ o belìn\x3c/em> — to make fun of\x3c/li>\x3c/ul>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Moccio\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Among the most common Genoese words and phrases, you’ll also find a few false friends, including \x3cem>moccio\x3c/em>. In Genoa, this isn’t a “booger” like it is in standard Italian, it’s a bun – as in tying your hair up behind your head.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Refrescumme\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>You know that smell of eggs and fish that sometimes lingers on dishes, even after you’ve washed them? Well, the Genoese have a word for that: \x3cem>refrescumme\x3c/em>, which is very similar to the \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/5-venetian-words-that-took-the-world-by-storm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Venetian term \x3cem>freschin\x3c/em>\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Piscio e vegno\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Out of all the Genoese phrases, this is probably the funniest. Don’t take it too literally (“I’ll pee and come back”)! This is actually how people in Genoa refer to…matchsticks, specifically the very long ones. That’s right: the ones so long you have enough time to light them, go to the bathroom and they’ll still be lit when you get back… An inspired phrase, no?\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>\x3cem>Ghignon\x3c/em>\x3c/strong>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Rather than a derisive smirk or snigger — like \x3cem>ghigno\x3c/em> in standard Italian — the Genoese \x3cem>ghignon\x3c/em> is closer in meaning to “displeasure” or even “anger.” The term’s origin is Basque, \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/basque-language\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of the oldest languages in the world\x3c/a>: another sign of the Genoese dialect’s cultural importance over the centuries and its many historical links to other languages and cultures.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>\x3cem>No basta manco Maraggian\x3c/em>\x3c/strong>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>This curious phrase relates to a real-life historical figure: Edoardo Maragliano, a doctor who developed the tuberculosis vaccine. He was, among other things, an Italian senator, as well as a prominent figure in Genoa. Today, he’s immortalized in this expression. In Genoa, when you find yourself in financial trouble, you can say \x3cem>no basta manco Maraggian\x3c/em>, implying not even the great Maragliano could have unraveled such a complex situation.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Gondon\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>\x3cem>Gondon\x3c/em> literally means “condom,” but in Genoese it refers to someone who — to put it nicely — isn’t very smart.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Essere nella bratta \x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In and around Genoa, \x3cem>bratta\x3c/em> is the word for “mud.” So when someone is \x3cem>nella bratta\x3c/em>, it means they’re in trouble or that something will be very tricky to obtain. For example: \x3cem>è bratta trovare i biglietti per quel concerto\x3c/em> (“those concert tickets will be hard to get”).\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Cianin Cianin\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Like so many \x3ca href=\"https://it.babbel.com/it/magazine/espressioni-italiane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">idioms\x3c/a>, \x3cem>cianin cianin\x3c/em> can be used in different ways depending on the context. As an Italian speaker might be able to deduce, it means “slowly, slowly,” said either as a sage piece of advice, like to someone about to act rashly in an ugly situation, or sarcastically, like to someone who always takes things that little bit too easy. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Rebigo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In Genoese, a \x3cem>rebigo\x3c/em> is a long, winding road, and the term can be used to describe a journey somewhere that was particularly tortuous.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Tapullo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Stereotypically speaking, the Genoese are a thrifty lot, a view that a number of Genoese phrases only seem to confirm: for example, \x3cem>tapullo\x3c/em> refers to an improvised, quick-fix solution when something breaks and you don’t want to spend money on a new one. It also works as a verb (\x3cem>tapullare\x3c/em>), meaning “to put a bandaid over something” in the figurative sense.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Attacca pomelli\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In standard Italian, an \x3cem>attaccabottone\x3c/em> refers to a chatterbox; in Genoa, they say \x3cem>attacca pomelli\x3c/em>. The latter has a more negative connotation though, closer in meaning to “windbag” or “blabbermouth.”\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Sciachelo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Yet another Genoese word that’s hard to take as a compliment: \x3cem>sciachelo\x3c/em> refers to the type of people who are easily taken advantage of because they’re too trusting or naive.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Cucullo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>These fried chickpea flour fritters are a must-have for anyone looking to try Genoese street food. But watch out: if you call someone this, it means you think they’re a gullible fool!\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Gabibbo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>No list of Genoese phrases would be complete without that most iconic of words: \x3cem>gabibbo\x3c/em>. Having been popularized by the satirical TV show \x3cem>Striscia la notizia\x3c/em>, the term has a very curious history. It turns out \x3cem>gabibbo\x3c/em> is how Genoese sailors referred to the longshoremen of a port in present-day Eritrea; it’s a corruption of Habib, a very common name in that region. Ever since, the term has been used to denote anyone not originally from Liguria.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Besugo\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>If you know \x3cem>Gabibbo\x3c/em> from \x3cem>Striscia la notizia\x3c/em>, you’ve almost certainly heard him say \x3cem>besugo\x3c/em>, which is the dialect term for a type of sea bream (\x3cem>pagellus bogaraveo\x3c/em>) that’s also used in Genoa to refer to someone not too smart.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cem>Loasso\x3c/em>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Sticking with the fish theme: the Genoese dialect has so many fish-related insults, \x3cem>loasso\x3c/em> being one of the most famous. This is the local word for sea bass and represents yet another way to call someone a fool.\x3c/p>\n","excerpt":"\x3cp>What’s gabibbo?\x3c/p>\n"},"scripts":[]},"161417":{"filteredContent":{"content":"\n\x3cp>The Balkan region has one of the turbulent linguistic histories in Europe. As recently as the 20th century, there has been war and division that split one language into many. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>The languages spoken in the Balkans belong to different groups. One of the most widespread languages is Croatian, one of the four variants that belong to the so-called \x3ca href=\"https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/yugoslavian-language-dialect\">Serbo-Croatian language\x3c/a>. In this article, we’ll explore the history and present of the Croatian language.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch2 id=\"\\"h-storia-della-lingua-croata\\"\">The History Of The Croatian Language\x3c/h2>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>The Origins\x3c/strong> Of Croatian\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>The Croatian language is linked to the migration of Slavic peoples to the Balkans between the sixth and seventh centuries. The first written evidence of this language, however, dates back to the 11th century: it is the Bescanuova stone, which was found on the island of Veglia (or Krk) in 1851, and is an inscription that attested to the donation of some land. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>The gravestone also has a high symbolic value because it is the first time that the Croatian language and the word “Croatia” (Hrvatski) are mentioned, and it is therefore in some way the birth of the Croatian people and their language. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>The Bescanuova tombstone isn’t written in the Latin alphabet (the one we use), but rather in the Glagolitic alphabet, which is the oldest known Slavic alphabet, invented by two evangelists who are also two crucial figures in Slavic culture: Cyril and Methodius. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>The Birth Of Serbo-Croatian\x3c/strong>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>You may have often heard, rather than of the Serbian or Croatian language, of the “Serbo-Croatian” language. What’s it all about? Is Serbian the same as Croatian? Well, not exactly, but it’s true that these two languages are very similar, and for a time were considered a single language. It’s true that the two remain mutually intelligible, however.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In the 19th century, various writers and intellectuals from Serbia and Croatia began to push for what they called a literary unification. These efforts culminated in the so-called Literary Agreement of Vienna (1850), which defined a common spelling system and pronunciation. The ultimate goal was to achieve a definitive linguistic union. We can therefore define this agreement as the founding act of the Serbo-Croatian language.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>It was the triumph of the Illyrian movement, a cultural movement connected to the rise of the Serbian and Croatian nationalist movements. The goal was to create a single language and literature for a single people. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>After the end of World War I, Serbs and Croats (but not only) all found themselves part of the same country, the newly formed Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which dissolved after the fall of the Berlin Wall and a bloody war. \x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>\x3cstrong>The End Of Serbo-Croatian\x3c/strong>\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>In short, the history of Serbo-Croatian is closely linked to the political history of Serbia and Croatia, so we could say that this language, in fact, no longer exists today. The official language of Serbia is Serbian, and the official language of Croatia, as mentioned, is Croatian. In addition to Serbian and Croatian, there are two other standardized varieties of what was known as Serbo-Croatian: Bosnian, spoken in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegrin, spoken in (can you guess?) Montenegro.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch2>How Many People Speak Croatian?\x3c/h2>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>According to \x3ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.ethnologue.com/language/hrv/\">Ethnologue\x3c/a>, there are about 6.4 million people who speak Croatian. Of these, 5 million people speak it as a mother tongue, and most of them live in Croatia. In addition to Croatia, Croatian is an official language in Bosnia and Herzegovina.\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3ch3>The Dialects Of The Croatian Language\x3c/h3>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>There are three Croatian dialects:\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cul>\x3cli>Ciacavo, a dialect spoken primarily on the coast.\x3c/li>\x3cli>The Caicavo dialect, which is spoken in the north of the country.\x3c/li>\x3cli>The Stocavo dialect, which is spoken in the interior, mainly to the east and south.\x3c/li>\x3c/ul>\n\n\n\n\x3ch2>What Alphabet Does The Croatian Language Use?\x3c/h2>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>Although the first Croatian texts were written in the Glagolitic alphabet, it was quickly replaced by the Latin alphabet. The Glagolitic alphabet, however, didn’t disappear completely and is still used in liturgical contexts. For everyday life, however, the Latin alphabet is used, which is the same as the one we use, although Croatian uses more diacritical marks. Here are the 30 letters of the Croatian alphabet:\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>a, b, c, č, ć, d, dž, đ, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, lj, m, n, nj, o, p, r, s, š, t, u, v, z, ž\x3c/p>\n\n\n\n\x3cp>One of the biggest differences between Croatian and Serbian, which we mentioned are very similar languages, is that Croatian uses the Latin alphabet, while Serbian uses the \x3ca
