There is no shortage of tricky words to learn in Italian, and in this speed date, we’re back with two more: ormai and affatto.

Both are sure to help your Italian sound more fluid and natural. 

ROUND #1: Ormai

“Ormai” is defined as:

  • By now

  • Already

  • By then

  • By the time

So how do you use it?

Instead of giving you separate examples, here’s a dialogue that will hopefully give you a better understanding.
