Show Notes

Ciao! In the episode we'll look at some important expressions where you'd say "I have" instead of "I am" in Italian! :) .. Expressions: avere caldo avere fame avere freddo avere paura avere ragione avere sete avere sonno avere torto avere fretta

Ex: Ho fame - I'm hungry. Hai sete? - Are you thirsty?

Translate: After the long trip, Lucia is very sleepy. Yes, you're right! ..

You'd also say "have" for age: "I have 25 years" - Ho 25 anni. How old are you - ........ Lucia is 23 years? - ...........

Excellent work! 😊
