Very funny!!!!
And i liked your first theory Marco! I think he’s deaf, but not physically! Like many other guys who just hear what they want to hear!!!
And by the way how come we can also say “parlarti”???
For those 2 others “vederti” and “sentirti” I know why, because they are “vedere te” and “sentire te”, but I thought we can’t use that form for “parlare con te”.
And finally I know a new word! Pucci pucci!!! Hope that’ll come useful someday!!!
Ciao!

ah! mi sono dimenticata!
I’ve heard some girls in my university calling eachother “ciccia”! i looked it up in the dictionary and it means: fat, felsh, meat,...
Can you explain to me what they mean by calling eachother like that?!
and please correct my italian, whenever i'm wrong! (unfortunately that's one of the reasons i don't speak italian as much as i have to! i'm ashamed of making mistakes!)
Grazie!

Parlando di tutti questi termini...
Si usa “tesoro”, “amorino” anche per le donne? (penso che un uomo non poù dire “amore mia”, vero?)
E poi “dolcezza” si poù usare anche per gli uomini??
Grazie!

Quante belle domande!
@maryam86
"ciccia" actually means meat but when u use it to call each other is a "termine" like "amorino" or "tesoro" that u mentioned before. "amorino" and "tesoro" are more used in a relashionship. Anyway I don't like "ciccia" at all!!!
With my friends (girls) I often use "chicca" that means "candy" or sth like that.
We can use "stella" like lemykh said, or "bella" especially in Rome ;-)
We use tesoro e amore mio also for women (mio non mia, mio is the abjective of the noun "amore" that's masculine, no matter if the "amore" is a she or a he, you need to say "mio"!
"dolcezza"...we can use it also for men but not so much...
Se mi viene in mente qualche altro termine vi faccio sapere ;-)
Spero di essere stata utile fin'ora...:-)

what's caput?
ire_ne says

Ciao lemykh,
sì, devi dire "quando un amico mi chiama stella" e non "quando un amico chiamami stella".
Puoi dire "io penso di aver sbagliato". "Io penso che abbia sbagliato" non è sbagliato (scusa il gioco di parole) ma torna male, non si dice.
E' diventato difficile perchè fai delle domande difficili! Devo pensarci un po' anche io prima di risponderti!!! ;-)
Sei bravissima continua così!

souroush 86, for 'kaput' - it's a german word originally. it means 'done for' 'utterly finished'.
