Lezione 3 – Unit 3
I Negozi Shops
In Italy, small traditionally specialised shops are still very common. The name of these traditional and local shops is: IL NEGOZIO. However, on the outskirts of cities big supermarkets and shopping malls are increasingly popular. As a result, each town has at least one main supermarket, which is called: IL SUPERMERCATO. Many times, big supermarkets are surrounded by a variety of different stores and become a proper shopping mall. The name of these commercial areas is: IL CENTRO COMMERCIALE. In supermarkets you will find all the products sold in traditional shops, as well as wines and drinks, household items and some beauty products. Finally, each village, town and city has a market day: IL MERCATO. At the market you can find fresh local products, clothing and household items.

A BIT OF GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY
1. The verb AVERE (to HAVE)
2. The verb COMPRARE (To buy) ENGLISH ITALIAN
I buy (Io) compro
You buy (Tu) compri
He buys (Lui) compra
She buys (Lei) compra
It buys - compra
We buy (Noi) compriamo
You buy (Voi) comprate
They buy (Loro) comprano
These are the present tenses of the two verbs. In Italian, the present tense is used to talk about present events or situations, general truths and things or states which are always true. As a result, this tense generally translates into the English simple present (i.e. I study). However, according to the context, the Italian present may correspond also to other English tenses (i.e. I am studying, I do study). The subject pronouns are given in brackets because they are not necessary in Italian and they are normally omitted. To understand who performs the action of the verb (that is, who is the subject) the speakers rely on the verb endings.

Approaching Italian Culture through the Movie Il Ciclone (The Cyclone)
In this gentle Italian comedy, a troupe of Flamenco dancers has been stranded in a town in rural Tuscany. When a stolid vine-growing family agrees to give them accommodation, the family members’ lives of dull endurance are transformed as they are affected by the romance, excitement and sensuality of their guests. The presence of the dancers causes quite a stir among the villagers as well. Levante (Leonardo Pieraccioni) lives with his father and sister in the family vineyard, and is enamoured by the exotic charms of the Flamenco-dancer Caterina (Lorena Forteza) and she’s interested in him as well. Levante’s family and Caterina’s dance troupe force in opposing their union, but all turns out well in the end. (source: Wikipedia)
4. Listening Watch the scene of the Italian movie Il Ciclone (The Cyclone) by Leonardo Pieraccioni. Write in the space provided the words you can catch.

A LITTLE STORY TO SUMMARIZE WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT TODAY Oggi Pierino fa la spesa con la mamma e la sorella. Ripeti le parole in grassetto dopo l’insegnante.
Pierino fa la spesa
Oggi è sabato: il giorno del mercato! Pierino e la sorella vanno al mercato con la mamma, per fare la spesa. Prima, la mamma fa la lista della spesa. “Al mercato dobbiamo comprare della verdura e del pollo. E poi un po’ di prosciutto cotto” dice la mamma. “Sì, compriamo del salame?” chiede Pierino. “Va bene, compriamo anche del salame e della pancetta”. “Prendiamo anche un po’ di formaggio, vero?” chiede la sorella. “Certo!” risponde la mamma. Alle nove e trenta escono di casa. Prima vanno al mercato. Poi la mamma dice: “Mentre vado al forno per comprare il pane e in pescheria, andate in pasticceria. Così comprate un po’ di pasticcini e una torta per il compleanno del papà.” Quando Pierino e la sorella entrano nel negozio, la negoziante dice “Buongiorno bambini!”. “Buongiorno Signora! Vorremmo otto pasticcini misti” dice Pierino. “Certo! Altro?” chiede la signora. “Sì, avete una torta al cioccolato?” risponde la sorella. “Sì, quella torta marrone è al cioccolato.” dice la negoziante. “Mmm… che buona! Prendiamo quella!” rispondono Pierino e la sorella. “Certo! Mentre vi faccio un pacchetto, potete pagare alla cassa. Volete la carta rosa o arancione?”, dice la signora. “Quella arancione!” risponde Pierino. Poi, la sorella chiede: “Dov’è la cassa?”. “E’ dietro di voi!” risponde la negoziante. Pierino dice al signore alla cassa: “Buongiorno! Quanto costano otto pasticcini e la torta al cioccolato?”. Il signore risponde: “Ciao bambini! Sono venti euro, per favore”. Pierino paga e chiede: “Posso avere lo scontrino?”. “Certo Pierino!” risponde il signore. Dopo, Pierino e la sorella prendono la torta e i pasticcini dalla negoziante, e Pierino chiede: “Posso avere una borsa?”. “Si, eccola!” risponde la negoziante. Quando la mamma e i bambini arrivano a casa c’è anche il papà, è ritornato dal supermercato: “Ho comprato del vino e delle bibite!” dice. “Benissimo, adesso possiamo festeggiare! Noi abbiamo comprato la torta… Buon compleanno!” rispondono la mamma, Pierino e la sorella.

Pierino at the shops Today is Saturday, the market’s day! Pierino and his sister go to the market with their Mum, to do some shopping. Before leaving, Mum makes the shopping list. “At the market, we have to buy some vegetables and some chicken. And also some ham”, she says. “Yes! And can we buy some salami?” asks Pierino. “All right, we’ll get some salami and some bacon”. “Mmm, but what about getting also some cheese?”, asks the sister. “Of course!” Mum answers. They leave at half past nine. They stop at the market first, and then Mum says: “While I’ll get some bread at the bakery and then go to the fish shop, you can go to the cake shop to get some pastries and a cake for Dad’s birthday!”. When Pierino and his sister enter the shop, the shop keeper says: “Good morning kids!”. “Good morning Madam! We’d like eight mixed pastries…”, replies Pierino. “Sure! Would you like anything else?”,the lady asks. “ Yes, do you have a chocolate cake?”. “Sure, this brown cake is a chocolate one”, answers the shop keeper. “Mmm… it looks delicious! We’ll get it!”, say Pierino and the sister. “Great! You can pay at the check out, while I make you a gift pack. Which paper do you prefer, the pink or the orange one?”, says the lady. “The orange paper is nicer!”, answers Pierino. Then his sister asks: “Excuse me, where is the check out?”. “It’s right behind you!”, answers the shop keeper. Pierino says to the cashier: “Good morning! How much is it for eight pastries and the chocolate cake?”. “Good morning kids! It is twenty euro, please.” Pierino pays and asks: “Can I have the receipt, please?”. “Of course, Pierino!”, answers the cashier. Then, Pierino and his sister get the pastries and the cake from the shop keeper. Pierino asks: “Can I have a bag, please?”. “Here it is!”, says the lady.
