Average southern italian trying to speak Italian to another italian
Wait until you try to talk to the uncontacted civilization of “Bavaria”
Im Not bullshitting you:
I went to northern italy as a class Trip. I wanted to ask for directions, wanted to be polite and asked a Policeman first
“Excuse me, do you speak english?”
He casually, with Balls Like melons and drip for days replied
“Do you speak italian?”
Totò at least is friendly to tourists (and knowing the boomers who travel I highly doubt their English is much better). When they go abroad they also sometimes get fucked with their Ital-glish (and the Polentone as well), shout-out to that time I helped a Luigi and Luigia find their bus in broken italian in Lisbon.
Your average Karel or Lázlo however will simply tell them to fuck off, and if they work in the tourist industry that is intensified (the only nice people in Budapest are the Jehovah Witnesses, employees of expensive stores and street whores).
As the middle man let me tell you. When someone WANTS to be understood and someone WANTS to understand, they always find a way
u/savevideo
My average encounter with Italians
Italian: parlare Italiano?
Me: No
Both: *3 secs of silence*
Italian: Asks me the question he wanted in 10words/sec Italian as if i had just said yes
POV: you’re from Hamburg and you try to communicate with someone in Switzerland or Austria

“Barely” sorry for the mistake.
