Welcome to Comme se dice?, the podcast that celebrates the Neapolitan language and its rich cultural heritage. In this fourth episode, we dive into the world of the words “Paisà” and “Sciuscià,” terms that narrate stories from an era marked by World War II, the struggles of immigrants, and pivotal historical events such as the Quattro Giornate di Napoli.
Throughout the episode, we analyze the historical context in which these words were born and evolved, highlighting their connection with neorealist films – particularly Roberto Rossellini’s Paisà and Vittorio De Sica’s Sciuscià. By exploring this dialogue between history, cinema, and everyday language, we uncover how “Paisà” and “Sciuscià” have become enduring symbols of resilience, courage, and rebirth, conveying the daily realities of life during times of crisis and change.
This episode is an invitation for anyone interested in exploring the intricate links between language and history, providing insightful reflections on how words can encapsulate entire eras and cultures. Whether you are passionate about history, neorealist cinema, or the Neapolitan language, get ready for an exciting journey into the heart of historical and artistic memory. Press play, relax, and let yourself be carried away by a narrative that unites art, reality, and emotion. Jammo ja!

わたしは　バイクが　こわいです。だから、バイクに　のることができません。バイクは　くるまと　ちがいます。まわりに　なにも　ありません。でも、はやいですし、くるまに　ちかい　かんじです。ヘルメットも　すきじゃありません。

Hello everyone! Happy Tanabata—it’s the night of star-crossed lovers.
By the way, in this episode I'm chatting about bamboo and sasa grass. Are they the same thing?
Turns out, the main difference is size—bamboo is big, sasa is small. Even the pros can’t always tell them apart!
So I guess we can say they’re pretty much the same, right?
See if you can catch where I talk about this in the podcast!


みなさまごきげんよう、今夜は七夕、恋の物語です。ところでポッドキャストの中で竹と笹っておなじもの？と話しているのだけれど、調べてみたら大きいのが竹、小さいのが笹らしい。しかもプロでも見分けがつかないんだって！てことはほぼ同じものだと思っていいよね！ポッドキャストの中でどこでこの話をしているか、探してみてね

In the second episode of No Such Thing as a Synonym, we explore a common pair of adverbs: "nearly" and "almost".   

When you look up these words in a dictionary you’ll find they have virtually identical definitions. However, I want to let you in on a secret – the dictionary isn’t telling you the whole story.

In this episode, we’ll explore the pragmatic and subtle differences between the two words, including the difference between "nearly perfect" and "almost perfect" and why we don’t usually use "nearly" with emotions, as in "I felt nearly giddy with excitement".

Listen along to learn something new!
