Today’s Parola del giorno is the expression avere la brutta abitudine (di + fare qualcosa). It means to have a bad habit of doing something, that is some action.
See the expression used below:
Marco è sempre ansioso prima di fare un esame orale e ha la brutta abitudine di rosicchiarsi le unghie mentre aspetta il professore.
Marco is always nervous before an oral exam and has a bad habit of biting his nails while he waits for the professor.
Check out tomorrow’s post for a discussion on the differences between ansioso and nervoso!
