Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#32  私のペット / My pets // N4 Level /Japanese listening

Ciao e bentornati!
Oggi parliamo di un tema che rappresenta l’Italia nel mondo: il caffè.
Come ordinarlo, come berlo, e soprattutto come non fare figuracce al bar!

☕ Il caffè in Italia
Per prima cosa: non dire mai espresso! In Italia si ordina semplicemente un caffè.
Se entri in un bar e chiedi un “espresso”, ti capiranno, certo, ma ti riconosceranno subito come turista.

🥐 Il grande dubbio del cappuccino
E qui arriviamo alla domanda che assilla tutti gli stranieri: è vero che il cappuccino si beve solo prima delle 11?
La risposta è… sì e no. In teoria, in Italia il cappuccino è una bevanda da colazione, perfetta con una brioche.
Ma in pratica, io stessa sono la prima a ordinarlo anche alle nove di sera!
Quello che però non si fa mai è berlo al posto dell’acqua, del vino o della birra a tavola. Il cappuccino non accompagna un pasto: è un momento a sé.

☕ Varianti del caffè
Scopriamo la differenza tra due grandi classici: il caffè macchiato e il latte macchiato.
Il caffè macchiato è un normale caffè con qualche goccia di latte caldo o latte freddo. Semplicemente potrai dire: un caffè macchiato caldo per favore! o un caffè machiato freddo grazie!

Il latte macchiato, invece, è un bicchiere di latte caldo con qualche goccia di caffè…una  “macchia” di caffè: insomma molto  latte, poco caffè.

📜 Curiosità culturale
In Italia il caffè è più di una bevanda: è un vero e proprio rito sociale.
Spesso si beve al banco, velocemente, in pochi sorsi. 
Non si resta seduti mezz’ora con la tazza in mano,  o si prende d’asporto e si beve per strada, come accade in altri Paesi.
Il caffè è un momento breve, intenso e quotidiano, che scandisce le giornate degli italiani.

🌟 Frase finale
E oggi, nel tempo di un caffè, abbiamo imparato a bere il caffè come dei veri italiani!

TRANSCRIPTION (includes explanation)
These expressions of importance cover a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might refer to something as "important," "significant," or even employ a casual "crucial" to stress its significance. When something is truly crucial, phrases like "This is absolutely crucial" and "This cannot be overstated" underscore its critical nature. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "This is a big deal" or "This is a game-changer," indicating a noteworthy event. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "This holds great significance" or "This bears immense importance," emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Politeness tempers the description in expressions such as "This is very important" or "This holds a lot of weight," demonstrating a respectful acknowledgment of its significance. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the importance, as seen in expressions like "This is kind of a big deal" or "This is a real game-changer." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate the weight of a situation with statements like "This is of considerable importance" or "This holds a certain gravitas," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, the gravity of a matter is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "This holds great import" or "This is of profound significance," underscoring the formal nature of the description. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
