The Italian language is lovely. But it is also hilarious. There are many colorful and expressive Italian sayings, which create vivid pictures and scenes. And that is exactly the reason why Italian sayings are so exciting for both learners and travelers, as they help understand not only words, but Italians’ mindset, humor, complaints, encouragement and explanation of the way things work in Italy.
Of course, some sayings will look weird in translation. But that is precisely their main advantage, because such sayings help bring any language to life. Great Italian sayings always contain rhythm, humor and a clear picture. It never delivers just a simple message – Italian says it with an image. You are not just lucky. You were “born with a shirt”. Something is not just difficult. It is like making a doughnut without a hole!
