In Italian, the little word “boh” is incredibly common.
It’s short, expressive, and can mean different things depending on the tone.
Here' how we use it!
- "I don’t know"
This is the main meaning.
Italian: “Quando arriva l’autobus?”
Answer: “Boh!”
English: “When does the bus arrive?” — “I don’t know!”
- “I have no idea / No clue"
Used when you’re totally confused.
Italian: “Perché è chiuso il museo?”
Answer: “Boh, nessuno lo sa.”
English: “Why is the museum closed?” — “No idea, nobody knows.”
- "I don’t care much / It’s same to me"
It depends on the tone of voice.
Italian: “Pizza o pasta per cena?”
Answer: “Boh… come vuoi.”
English: “Pizza or pasta for dinner?” — “I don’t mind… as you like.”
- funny or dramatic use
Italians often use it to be expressive.
Italian: “Perché hai mangiato tre piatti di pasta?”
Answer: “Boh...Mi andava!”
English: “Why did you eat three pasta plates?” — “No idea! I just felt like it!”
- Body language matters!
