Today's
Parola del giorno is the expression,
Mannaggia (a + qualcosa/qualcuno), which means:
- Damn it!
- Damn (someone/something)
This is an expression that you want to be careful using, as it can be considered quite rude if said to the wrong person -- remember if you're
damning someone and you refer to that someone as a pronoun, you have to use a tonic pronoun (
me, te, lui/lei, noi, voi, loro) -- It's always fun to learn these expressions, especially if you're driving in Italy's traffic:
Mannaggia al traffico romano! Ci vogliono troppe ore per attraversare questa città !
Damn this Roman traffic! It takes too many hours to cross this city!
