Bedside Italian

Bedside Italian #51 - Il riscontro dell'ultimo episodio

Have you ever been "taken for a ride"? If you've been tricked or lied to before, then the answer is yes. Here are some other expressions about lying.

If someone confidently tells you a big lie and doesn't seem to feel bad about it, then you can say they are "lying through their teeth." Such people might make a "web of lies," telling many lies to make people believe them. And if someone lies all the time, you can say they "lie like a rug" – which is a joke using two meanings of "lie," because a rug can only lie on the floor.

If someone lies to you, tricks you, or wants to stop you from finding something out, you can say they are trying to "pull the wool over your eyes." The expression comes from the early 19th century, and may be talking about the wool wigs that some people wore at the time. So someone could pull your wig down, covering your eyes and stopping you from seeing what was really happening.

But not every lie is a big one. Sometimes people just "bend the truth," which is telling a small lie that is usually not serious and probably won't hurt anyone. Often people "bend the truth" by saying something that's part-true, while leaving out important information.

But if someone "stretches the truth," they are probably saying that something is better than it really is. Some people might stretch the truth to make a story more interesting.

Quante volte ci siamo fatti la domanda: "Come potrei migliorare ulteriormente la lingua X?" 
"Quando posso ritenermi soddisfatto della conoscenza che ho della lingua X?" 
Entrambe queste domande sono molto personali e cambiano in base agli obiettivi e alle ambizioni di ognuno di noi, tuttavia quella "voglia di parlare come un madrelingua" accomuna un po' tutti gli appassionati di lingue straniere come noi.. Allora, come fare?
