Word of the Week
Written by admin on 8 February, 2009 – 8:56 pm -
This week instead of a word I have chosen a useful phrase.
in bocca al lupo
good luck (lit. in the wolf’s mouth) or being more idiomatic break a leg
Apparently the correct reply to this is crepi (il lupo) which literally means die (the wolf). Otherwise you won’t have luck. Is that true? It might help explain a lot!!
Do you have any useful idioms to share with us?
