It is cold out there! The word of the week is calduccio. The expression “stare al calduccio” means to stay in and warm. So this is the perfect expression for the week. State al calduccio! #wordoftheweek #ouitalian #ouspeaksitalian

[Word of the week] BUGIA: lie, falsehood. The pronunciation of this word might be a little unexpected: the stress goes on the “i”! From this word comes “bugiardo/a,” which means “liar.” #ouitalian #speakitalian #learnitalian #italiano

AMPOLLOSO: bombastic. This adjective comes from the Latin “ampullosus” (from “ampulla,” a round-bottom flask), which was used to describe inflated writing or speaking style. “Un discorso ampolloso” is a high-sounding discourse that, however, bears little meaning. #ouitalian

[Word of the week] PARLANTINA: talkativeness; the gift of the gab. This word derives from the verb “parlare” (“to speak”) and indicates the ability to talk glibly. A person with “la parlantina” is someone who has a way with words. #ouitalian #speakitalian #learnitalian #italiano
