Basic Shapes in Italian
La mia novella inizia a prendere forma.
In this article, we’re returning to the fundamentals but in a way that helps us use the language with confidence and fluidity.
Since I started learning Mandarin Chinese alongside my two-year-old daughter, I’ve been reminded of all of the language topics I’ve never covered on the site.
Today, we’re starting with shapes and the various phrases that draw on shapes to make a point. Plus, we’ll learn the translations for popular shape-based idioms in English that don’t translate using a shape in Italian.
It’s gonna be fun. Cominciamo :)
VOCABULARY
