Before starting this video, I want to show you the settings for recording this video.

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Italian Podcast. Do you like this microphone in front of me? I hope so. This is my new microphone. Today I will use it to make video clips. So you can see and hear this episode. However, before starting the video, I want to thank the sponsor Italki.

Italki is a platform where you can learn languages with tutors and professional teachers. It is much more comfortable than any language school or any private teacher, because it is more comfortable (and cheaper), you can start classes from your home, and then it has a third One advantage, that is…you can also join me in class. I have been teaching for a while since February 2016…I have nearly 200 students. Therefore, if you want, you can follow the link in the instructions to become student 200. You can also use $10 Italki points. Yes, I highly recommend it, for example, it is indeed a good way to put all the skills you have acquired by listening to Italian podcasts into practice. Thanks Italki, see you on Skype.
Let’s watch the video now. My tablet is ready for everything I want to tell you, let’s get started.It happens that we have a lot in Italian Polite form (Polite form) It makes our requests and questions more polite, but not everyone uses it correctly.They did not use them properly because it is difficult to know how to use them because these are what you have to do They learn in life, più che altro (mainly learning in life). You usually say these things when you go to bars, shops, and restaurants, but maybe you don’t live in Italy and you can’t have all these experiences. There is an Italian podcast to explain this to you, so you will learn how to ask questions the next time you travel to Italy. Among other things, it’s very important to use the polite forms in Italian, I thought of my Russian friends, they are definitely kind people, but because there is no, or rather, not all these forms of politeness in their language Are used., speak Italian-they speak very well-they don’t use Italian. But in Italian, some requests without these forms may seem too straightforward.First of all, never use imperatives in Italian Unless you want to place an order, So don’t say “give me two ounces of ham” or “give me a pizza”. Never, never this. “Tell me how to get to the station”, “pass me the mayonnaise”.No, please, no, otherwise you might get one Slap (slap) Face the Italians.
I divided this episode into three parts.
-Request action-so we want someone to do something for us.
-Information request e
-Orders-because it is also important to know how to order something in the bar.
Therefore, you can find the time code in the description or comments below, you can listen to and return to your personal interest, and then use it.
A) Action requirements
1) You can (can)
Let’s start with the sharing request. The first way I mark it is to say “you can” or “you can”. Let’s start with the sharing request. The first way I mark it is to say “you can” or “you can”.
then:
-Can you take me home (laughs)?
-Can you lend me (lend me) 5 euros?
-Can you give us some bread?
You can too, and she can too (a form of respect). And be careful, I won’t say “you can bring us some bread” alone, which is not enough in my opinion.need at least (at least) Add “please”, then we will see later, these sentences can also add “please” and other sentences. So “you can bring us” no, a better condition is, “he can bring us some bread”, “you can bring us some bread”.
2) Can you (can)…?
The second way: the same thing, but a more friendly version, namely:
“you can not……?”
or
“Isn’t it possible to…?”
Don’t think about the logic of this sentence and what it means. Learn it. Learn this method.
“Can’t you take me home?”
“Can’t you lend me 5 euros?”
“Can’t he bring us some bread?”
3) Can I invite you/her…?
Finally, we have a third way, namely:
“May I treat you?”
Oh
“May I treat you?”
then:
“Can I ask you to sign? (signature)” Oh “…I want to sign here?”
“ May I ask you to close the window? “
“Tell you to be quiet?”
Also feel the tone of voice I use.I suggest you listen to the whole video again, maybe Just pay attention to the intonation, Because this is a basic part of our polite request.
+Magic words (please/please/please/accidentally)
We can add the so-called “Magic word” (Magic little word)The name was not invented by me, adults really teach their children (correct: teach A) to use magic words, that is “please”, “please”. There is another one, I added, “accidentally” we use. (These are) the so-called magic words that have everything in the world.
Well, no, not all.
Money may not be.
Under any circumstances.
4) You will do/help me/polite/… the fun (no magic word)
There is another type I will not use with “please”, “please”, “accidental”, now you understand why.
“Can you help me go to the post office?”
“Can you ask me to open the door?”
“Can you ask me to pick up that girl from school?”
Well, now we are very polite, but say “Can you help me get to that position? Please” maybe not. Magari lo evitiamo (maybe we should avoid this).
B) Information request
Let us now turn to the second set of requests, namely information requests.
1) You know/by chance Mica?
“Do you know how to get to the station?”
“Do you know what time it is?”
“Do you know that the office is open today?”
2) Do you know/know that you will know (will know) if…?
Let us move on to the next point, namely:
“Can you tell me if…?”
or
“If… can you tell me?”
Or, of course,
“Can you tell me?”
So it depends on confidence.
“Can you tell me the museum is still open?”
“Can you tell me where the Colosseum is?”
“Can you tell me if this bus arrives via Rome?”
3) Will you know/know (will know) tell me if…?
Finally, we have a third way of requesting information, namely:
“It’s not something you can tell me, or”
“(Not that) Can you tell me…?”
“Can you tell me where the Colosseum is?”
“Can you tell me how to get to the station?”
+ Magic word
Just like the action request we have seen before, we can add magic words to these three structures, namely “accidental”, “please”, “please”, “please”. then:
“Can you tell me the museum is still open?”
or:
“Can you tell me how to get to the station?”
Well, maybe (like this) he is a little kind, which is a little too kind, but it can be said.
We Italians are very nice people, so please use them.
Order (Order)
Let’s continue to watch the third part of the video, which is the order. How to place an order in Italian. We have five methods. Sorry, there are many methods, but they are useful things.
1) Please (and “please”/”please”)
Therefore, the first way is very simple “please”.
“Please have a cup of macchiato.”
“Please have a croissant with peanut butter.”
“Margarita with buffalo mozzarella cheese, please”
2) According to me…
We can also say “for me”.So imagine there is a Waiter Here, I don’t have a waiter, but the waiter can ask me: “Are you ready to order?” I can say:
“Yes, it’s a Margarita Pizza to me”
“For me mushroom pasta”.
So simply “for me”.
3) Can I have…?
We have a third way: “Can I have…?”
then:
“Can I have a macchiato?”
“Can I eat pizza without mozzarella cheese?”
Among other things, this is a way to make potentially more special requirements, right? Because maybe you want a pizza made in a certain way, using specific ingredients.
then:
“Can I add more buffalo mozzarella to the mozzarella cheese?” (???)
So this is the way of asking.
“Can I have appetizers at home?”
4) Please give me… OK? Can you give me…?
We have a fourth way, namely:
“Can you give me…?”
then:
“Can you give me two ounces of ham?”
“Can you give me 5 loaves?”
“Can you give me a meter of this fabric? “
I would also like to say:
“Can you give me…?”.
I didn’t write it, but it seems possible to me.
“Can you give me 5 loaves?”
“Can you give me a meter of this kind of fabric?”
Maybe, maybe you can also say “Not that…?”, but now I don’t want to complicate it. However, “Don’t you give me 5 loaves?” He was very, very kind.
We can combine all these things, so now I don’t want to make the video too complicated, but yes, you can hear a lot of these combinations of shapes.
5) I want/want
Finally we have the last one, which is another simple form, “I want” or “I want”.
“I want a kilo of biscuits”,
“I want three takeaway pizzas, please” This means “pizza you brought home” and take away. “We want to take the lunch menu.”
So yes, I have reached the end of the video. Fortunately, my arm can now rest.
