Which Languages Are You Learning?

The sad part is they're doing an accent (or trying to) from a part of the city none of them have ever even been to.
Actors are fake?

I speak English, which is the GOAT language. As an American, I don't feel obligated to learn the ways, customs, or mother tongues of the lesser countries of the world.
 
Why did they say "Vaffanapoli" in "Friends" instead of "Vaffanculo"? Is Joey Tribiani a fake Eyetaian?

As i guess 999 people already said in teh internet "vaffanapoli" does'nt exist in Italy, but i never seen mentioned that effectively a soft not-vulgar version of vaffanculo exist and is pretty common for older generation

"Va' a quel paese" translate into "Go to that country", where QUEL/THAT country is essentially an imaginary place where all asshole/pos should go live to cease bother everybody else

Two old ladies playing cards that have a little joke quarrel are more likely to tell stuff like Va' a quel paese rather than vaffanculo


9 questions left :D
 
Btw #1 reason to learn italian is that without that knowledge barbarians will never grasp the absolute greatness of this video



Possibly the greatest non-porn thing teh internet ever produced

"Vaffanapoli" instead of "vaffanculo" = Napoli is a shit place. Just like "culo". It simply got censored by a woke, PC American TV station.

Bacco, you should really brush up on yo Italian, paisan.

Spanish and southern Indiana hillbilly(yes it's more prominent than one would think)
 
I already speak French and English.

I understand basic Spanish.

I completed Duolingo's Swedish course. I'm about 70% done its Danish course, and partway through Norwegian too.

I tried learning Icelandic on another app at the same time. It was a lot harder than Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.

I took a semester of German in high school.

I'll probably start Tagalog on Rosetta stone soon.
 
I speak Spanish and German, although I rarely use my German so it’s a bit rusty

I said "does'nt exist in Italy", wich stands correct despite what significate 90s american shows want give to it

Beside that "culo" mean "ass", can't replace "shit place"
Vaffanculo have in "ffan" an abbreviation of "a fare in"
Vaffanculo -> Vai a fare in culo -> Go to "do" (used as fuck or get fucked) in the ass

Vaffanapoli -> Vai a fare in Napoli -> Go to fuck (or get fucked by) the city of Naples
Wich does'nt make sense

Trying to play devil's advocate something kinda similar "questo posto è un buco di culo" (This place is like the hole of an ass) can be used more or less as you say stuff like "people from shithle countries", but is not common at all and most people would not go for it

99% of people will just call it "posto di merda" wich translate "place (made) of shit", wich is basically your "shit place"

Essentially Vaffanapoli is wrong for both "napoli" and "ffan", used like that

If original insult was
Vai a stare nella merda -> Vastainmerda (completely fantasy abbreviation) -> Go to stay in shit
And you wanted to replace merda/shit with napoli (something that italians did in popular soccer hooligan song), in italian would have become something like
Vastainapoli, wich still is'nt Vaffanapoli

Cliffs: TV show Friends writers have no idea what they talk about aside know that Napoli does'nt have the best rep, as result vaffanapoli does'nt exist and would make no sense in italian

No idea, just clicked again on it and still works perfectly

Maybe youtube is an italian-language elitist and decided you're not worthy to enjoy it's greatness for the vaffanapoli thing, like a failed admission test or something
