These are pre-programmed posts! I am conferencing this week, and I won’t be able to respond to messages or comments until the weekend or early next week!

Today's Parola del Giorno is the transitive verb, forare, which means to have a flat tire or to have a puncture.  

The past participle is forato. Avere is used in compound tenses.

See the verb used below:

Mentre andava in macchina a Firenze, Rebecca, la cui macchina è proprio un rottame, ha forato tre volte. Presa dalla disperazione ha chiamato il meccanico che è giunto sul posto dopo ben due ore!

While driving to Florence, Rebecca, whose car is just a wreck, had a puncture three times. Overcome with desperation, she called the mechanic who arrived on the scene after well over two hours!
