The market is such a wonderful experience in Italy. Hopefully these phrases will help you to feel confident about grocery shopping in a piazza like a local.

Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use or find it using Shazam. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.
Please don’t follow me on Facebook as that person is not me – they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

  1. Grazie mille😍 I wrote four pages of notes from your video😂😂Italy I'm coming this summer🤩🤩😀

  2. I distinctly remember going to the market in Mexico, one time. After mustering up enough courage to try out my Spanish, and feeling very proud of myself, I asked a man running one of the stands, "Tienes Juevos?" Which translates, Do you have eggs? Well, little did I know, in Mexico, I was basically asking the man "do you have balls" It simply prompted a lot of laughter from the people around us, but it could have been worse. I should have said "Hay juevos?", which means "Are there eggs?" So, do be careful with your phrases, in a foreign country!

  3. Thank you Kylie for a very helpful video. Having just moved to Puglia in January from the U.S., we're doing our best to use phrases that we can incorporate into our daily interactions and help us learn the language. We really enjoyed watching you and Guido teach us. We'd love to learn more! ❤

  4. 🤗💓🍀🐇🐤🐣 Happy Easter🌼🦋Maťa from Slovakia 🇸🇰💕💕💕

  5. I had been trying to figure out why I kept seeing della, del, dello and just couldnt make the connecting that it is "some" attached in a sense to "the" and thats why it is how it is. I think the hardest part of italian is these words that combine to make one word when in english we just keep most of them separate except conjunctions. So the inability to translate at a 1 to 1 ratio of words is hard lol

    Also, if youre looking for newbie questions, does the masculine/feminine choice depend on the item thats being talked about or the person being talked to? So when they are asking quanto/quanti/quante is that dependent on if the item you want is a female or masculine word? Not whether its being asked to a female or male customer? Would love a video on the masculine/feminine use and when/ how to know when to say which based on the topic at hand. Do foreigners just default to one usually?

  6. Tuo marito mi ricorda moltissimo Leonardo Pieraccioni 😂e naturalmente ha "Una moglie bellissima!"(sai di cosa parlo vero?)😅

  7. Great guide! I'll come back to it for when we return to Italy. Otherwise, I just point. Works like a charm.

  8. Very informative. Enjoyed the side comments a lot, made it so authentic Italian. I truly enjoyed how you explained everything, it all made sense.

  9. Thank you very much for the Italian lesson! I’m Japanese and learning Italian 🇮🇹
    You are also learning Italian language as a foreigner and your point of view of learning or questioning about Italian grammar and phrases helps me a lot !

    And also I love your taste of interior design as well 😊

  10. Really appreciated the lesson on the Italian phrases. It was a nice fun interaction between you and Guido. If I am going to be able to get an Italian passport I really need to be able to speak and read the language. Can you recommend any native speaker for a teacher? Regards David & Renata 🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

  11. 1:11, how do you say the hills are green and rolling? They need a modern affect, it's to paint as Monet with greens and blue rolling hills! It's a great challenge, and it's arguably disingenuious, but I want to better potentiate, through better understanding, and intentianal wood decay, potentiate greater opportunity for truffle in Italia! It think, to sell them at the market! I will certainly have chocolate truffle though, I'm chocolate truffle!
    In the hills, I really do wonder if I convert quarter acre rows to wood for decay for the production of conditions where truffles form, hedgerows with oak for acorns, so the ham is marbled! I'm not interested in losing any truffles to dem hogs! Mi Dica, a mi, de Medici! I want to be the Medici! Come on! It's good! I want to go from Monaco to Venice, they da same, just the other side!
    Sono a disposizione! Need to develop estates for sale, see a return off the sale, a share of the profits, but we're looking for a return of 40% off real estate, a lot of people to make this property this valuable and it has three productive forms of equity! Go to hell if you think you get this much for a 20% return to the developers. Developers, has to be 40% return, and when people spend $150 million in Bevelry Hills, That's where I want to be…livin in Beverly Hills, how do you say that in Italian, because the same people have properties both places!
    When we are working together to get the artisans to produce the interiors to our specifications, be sure to use formal Italian! We're formal, even if they are not! Since we produce energy, we build successful farms with 20 acres. It's a lot of $50 million dollar fancy house villa in Tuscany!
    Hooray Vorrei, Chianti! Vorrei zucchine! Basil and Zucchine! I like goats grazing on wild arugula, insalata! Forrest Gump, Ciliegie pie, jam Ciliegie, ciliegie scone…tart ciliegie, Kylie musta have known everything there was to know about ciliegie! Le delle ciliegie! Apple pie ciliegie! It's easy, all I have to do is remember the computer to get some. Dell, la computalador, della computas!
    I'm looking forward to Milan, Como, Tuscany, and Venice. We go Greco! I'm a guest and consort over here anyway, but I'm angleling for a position in Roma, so that's a basis outside in Italy in my own right! It's all Italy for Italians, just different borders for investment leadership roles!
    You say satare, I say toss, potato, potatoe y tomato, tomatoe!
    How do you say Italia is the land of the artisan? Italia, la terra, dello artisanos! But I do want to get it right! That's my dollar store, "Quindici Tutto." Italian Wal-Mart, Quindici Tutto, Ikea! Quindici Tutto is seriously Italian mass production sold in middle America! Made in Italia! Grazie Ancora, "Quindici Tutto," made in Italia, mass productivo para la casa en Tejas y Caliafornia y Florida, Ikea type furniture with an Italian design. It's the other things that cost $15 dollars, the furniture is Italian design, you put it together like Ikea, but hopefully it's slightly better quality, and it's all production off the Tuscan sun! Medici!

  12. Amazed to see you all wearing masks still. When are you going to take them off? So sad to see you all covered up. Here in the UK you rarely see anyone with them on, and they are not obligatory, especially outside in the fresh air. I find it depressing.

  13. Buongiorno grazie molte sono italiana ho insegnato italiano negli Stati Uniti all'Universita', 😊. Posso dire che interagire in italiano con gli italiani è sempre positivo ed importante e grazie ancora
    Posso aggiungere che dipende anche dal contesto, dalle località regionale e cittadine e dalle persone con le quali si parla.😊 Buonasera! Grazie

  14. You forgot the grocerer might ask you "dimme bella", or "che'tte serve ??".

    (By the way, complimenti per la perfetta pronuncia delle parole italiane).

  15. Why do these breastfeeding women pump up their big breasts into an extremely tight suffocating trico and expose their breasts half naked? So tasteless and attention-seeking.

  16. Just saw your old Perú videos and found the answer to my question. Your Spanish is excellent!! Kylie, you have a gift for languages! Your language skills are amazing. I am impressed. My wife and I struggle to get our 3 girls to speak Spanish in the house. I will use your story as motivation. I also would like to say, your Perú video almost had me in tears. Me quedé impactado. Thank you for showing the humanity in the indigenous community. Usted y Guido son unas personas para admirar. Saludos desde Arizona, USA.

  17. Ciao Kylie i tuoi video dovi presenti l'Italia sono semplicemente fantastici ❤tu vivi in Italia o in Amerika. Spero che mi rispondi in italiano,un salutone ❤
