The Italian Aperitif

When I go to the pub with my friends, I usually drink a glass of white or red whine. I love having an aperitif in the evening on the Saturday(s). The barman also brings me some crisps and nuts, but in some pubs you can also eat pasta, sandwiches, crackers, or snacks and toghether with the drinks . In Italy, an aperitif is like a dinner. The aperitif is cheap although you eat many things.

 

<em>You can say </em>Saturday<em> or </em>Saturdays<em> - I would use Saturdays as the plural shows you don't mean one specific Saturday, this is also why you don't use </em>the <em>before </em>Saturdays.

<em></em><em>I wouldn't say </em><em></em>together with the drinks <em> as </em>together<em> & </em>with<em> mean much the same thing,</em> together <em>is redundant. I would just say </em>...snacks with drinks<em>. </em><em>Again, you don't need the </em>the<em> before </em>drinks<em> as you're not talking about specific drinks.</em> <em>Also, I think it's important to put the</em> <em></em>or <em>before </em>snacks <em>to show that you don't have to order all of those things with drinks.</em>

In the United States we usually use the following: aperitif = a drink barman = a bartender pub = bar
