Ian, in Italy, they speak Italian but they also speak their local dialect. I have a couple of great friends who are both from Sicily and when they talk to each other, they use their local dialect, but when they speak to me, they use Italian and English, depending on the conversation. They crack me up, even when they’re using their dialect, because their gestures, voice tone, and occasional familiar phrase or reference each play a part in my ability to pick up on the humour of the conversation. I recall one of them standing in the open doorway and taking a deep breath followed by, “Aah, Fresco! Como vino bianco!” Then he turned to me and said, “Did you understand me?” I said, “Yes. Fresh! Like white wine!” He was very pleased! 😃🥰 Their jokes were many but I understood them, even when they were risque! LOL!

@ Probably, but my Italian friends have always called them dialects. Definition of a dialect: “A particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group.” So the same thing.

Trente = thirty and quindici = fifteen. So it’s his bad Maths causing the embarrassing problem.

That third one in the cafe, reminded me of a similar scene in “Message in a Bottle” when Paul Newman sat at a table to have his coffee and breakfast, then the owner asked, “Why have you been sitting there lately? You used to sit over there!” Paul Newman’s character got upset and moved while slamming chairs and mugs and plates until he sat down in his original spot and remarked, “Are you happy now?” ROTFL! Such a great movie and Paul Newman steals every scene he’s in, not intentionally, it’s simply because he was such a great actor,making it real for us.
