I'm currently in the process of learning Italian (started last week, ha ha), and I'm a super-beginner. So far, all I can cite from memory is:

- Ciao/buongiorno/piacere?
- Come sta/i?
- Bene, grazie.
- Una tavolo per due, per favore.
- Una birra.
- Il biacherre da vino rosso, per favore.
- Il conto, per favore.
- Scusi, non capisco. Non parlo molto bene l'Italiano.
- Di dov'e?

Apologies if any of those are incorrect.

So any more help would be great! Thanks!

You did ask for help so I hope I don't offend when I correct your phrases.

Tavolo ends in an O so it is un tavolo and not una.

Il bicchiere is asking for THE glass and not A glass. Un bicchiere di vino rosso /bianco.

Here's a good one to know ......... quanto costa? How much is it?

For when you get that Italian bird, 'dammelo'.

Do you ever say anything nice to your wife like 'ti amo' ?

Not offended at all, thanks for the help!

I know 'ti amo' means "I love you" to a lover. And there's another phrase that's used for unconditional love... but I don't know what it is, ha ha.

I knew quanto costa. Thank you!

How would you ask someone "what have you been doing?"

What's "dammelo" by the way? Ha ha, I can't seem to find it in my (albeit small) dictionary!

Could it be .... ti voglio bene.

When our Italian neighbours arrive they always shout "Cosa Fi" and I think this means what are you doing or what have you done...They also say in response to their own question "dormire", even if it's dinnertime!

Ah - ti voglio bene, I thought I'd seen that before. Thanks!

I'm going to amend my original list, and add the English, so I can refer to it whenever.

Anything else?

Ah, just figured out that you can't edit.... or am I mistaken?

To the wife, yes.

Shouldn't it be come va? or cosa fa? for how's it going or what you doing?
Cosa fi? Maybe your Italian neighbours speak with a Scottish accent perhaps?

Perhaps they shout "cosa fai" which sounds a bit like "fi" You didn't explain to DWE that "dammelo" means "give it to me"

You can - but only upto a certain time and then it stays fixed..... I think. Not sure how long you have before your post becomes fixed.

Ah I see, yeah that time has come and gone for the original post.
