Incavolato How to say angry in Italian

*As you can hear in the audio, it's common to offer a kiss on each cheek when you're saying hello or goodbye in Italian. These are air kisses - your mouth doesn't actually touch the other person's cheek!

Sono sconvolto. I'm upset.

Now you try. And another way to say - [ __ ] literally - trombone throm. Body - [ __ ] or literally - trombone throm. Body now you try. And that's how you say some swear words in Italian.

In Italy, it is a common practice to greet someone with a light kiss on both their cheeks. This is true even if you are just newly acquainted or if you have known someone for quite a long time.

It is common to give air kisses on both cheeks (starting with your left) when greeting those you know well. This is called the 'il bacetto'. However, in Southern Italy, men generally only kiss family members and prefer to give a pat on the back to show affection in a greeting.

In English you can simply use the verb to be + adjective; Io sono/ Lui è (I am/He is) + aggettivo. In Italian in some cases you need to use the verb avere (to have). Sono triste (I'm sad), Sono arrabbiata (I'm angry), Sono felice (I'm happy), Ho paura (I'm afraid), Ho vergona (I'm ashamed).

The F word in Italian is vaffanculo! (Go f*#^ yourself!) This is probably the most famous and naughty Italian swear word of all. Its literal translation is very crude, and its implied meaning is “go f*#^ yourself” or “f*#^ off!”.
