The top ten Italian words that just don't translate into English
You may not be able to translate these Italian words, but you'll be glad you know what they mean.
Had a lovely long dusk bike ride along a raggedy path on the edge of Rome. Then night and cycling home & a voice in English from a darkened doorway: ‘Help me!’ I stopped, though almost didn’t. ‘I need a home. I need a job.’ Rosemary, from Nigeria. Sitting with her bags.
"It’s not easy to get them to engage with Langston Hughes’ work. Little rivers of subconversations are taking place all over the room. 'Be quiet! Stop talking! Fahito!' The sheer astonishment of hearing a dialect word drop from my lips stops them in their tracks for a moment."
"As Italy empties northwards of Italians seeking jobs abroad and fills from the bottom up with refugees and immigrants from African shores, I wonder where this country is going... How will the contribution of these new arrivals be valued? Will there be a civil rights movement?"
Le vite nere contano

"Another kickboxing class. Whether I am ready or not after a month of practising the moves, the teacher puts me into a sparring sequence with the other, experienced students. Punch, jab, uppercut, a kick to the side flank, then put up your guard and wait for the return blows."
"I realize that we must look like two of Macbeth’s witches plotting on the corner. I stop and greet the nun as politely as I can while Zara is assuaged by two of her small students who come and put their arms around her."
