SICILIAN-ENGLISH SHOES


Here's a sentence to comment on a nice pair of shoes.

Sti sciusi alluccunnu naisi

Pronounced as:
stee SHOO-zee ahl-LUKE- coon-noo NICE -ee.

Which means:
"These shoes look nice".

Of course if you say that to a native Italian nowadays, you'll get a look that might resemble the mallocchio, which is the Evil Eye.

More on that subject in later entries.
