[Italian Lesson] That’s a deal!

È stato proprio un affare.

Ciao a tutti!

I have some big savings goals on the horizon, so I’m always looking for the best deals. That’s why today’s bite-sized lesson is sharing a phrase for when you’ve gotten a great price on something. 

In Italian, one way to say that is “fare un affare.” 

Here are two examples:

  1. Ho fatto un affare all’outlet. - I got a deal at the outlet mall. 

  2. Sono andata a Solomeo perché volevo comprare qualcosa al negozio di Brunello Cucinelli. Ho comprato un foulard scontato del 70% . È stato proprio un affare. - I went to Solomeo because I wanted to buy something from the Brunello Cucinelli store. I bought a cashmere scarf for 70% off. It was a deal! 

Have questions about how to use this? Hit reply!

Un abbraccio,

Cher


P.S. I want to apologize to each of you who has sent me an email or left a comment but hasn’t yet received a response. Between running a full-time business and being the primary caretaker for a boisterous 2-year-old toddler, I’m only able to carve out time for Italian with Cher late at night or in stolen moments on the weekends. If you’re waiting for a response, please please please follow up so it’s moved to the top. Grazie in anticipo!
