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