How do Italians celebrate Easter? Where do they go? What do they do? Do they eat as much chocolate as we do? Find out and learn the special gossip form of Italian verbs that you can use to talk about what other people do in episode 42 of Five Minute Italian.

Hi everyone and welcome to 5 Minute Italian. I'm Katie.

And I'm Mattelio.

Ciao. Buena pasqua. Bu'm Katie. And I'm Matteo. Ciao.

Buona Pasqua.

Buona Pasqua.

Buona Pasqua means happy Easter.

Buona means good and Pasqua means Easter.

So to say happy Easter, Italians literally say good Easter. Buona Pasqua.

And in today's episode, we're going to talk about how Italians celebrate Easter.

And we'll be using this conversation as an opportunity to talk about a verb form that we haven't learned together yet, which is the they form.

In the last three episodes, we've learned how to say the I form, as in I eat, the U form as in you eat,

we form as in we eat, etc.

And today, when we talk about what Italians do, we're going to learn the they form, as in

they eat.

I like to call this the gossip form of the verb, because it's the one we use to talk about what

other people do when they're not here.

So tell us, Matteo, what do Italians do at Pasqua?

What do Italians do at Easter?

Cucinano much.

Cucinano much.

They cook a lot.
