Trascrizione

  1. Buongiorno, vorrei delle arance. / Quante ne vuole? / Mezzo chilo, per favore. / Romeo: Non mi piace la frutta
  2. Melanzane in offerta! / Solo un euro al chilo! / Romeo: E neanche la verdura.
  3. Avete* delle trote? / Certo, eccole. Sono freschissime. / Ne prendo quattro.
  4. Salve, una trota, per favore. / Ecco a Lei. Sono otto euro.
*Why voi and not Lei? When you ask someone a question like this in a store, hotel or restaurant, the plural voi is often used. The idea behind this is to ask whether ‘the store’, and therefore ‘several people’ have the fish, rather than whether the ‘individual seller’ has the fish. Of course, one could also ask “Ha delle trote?” and would also be completely correct.

Traduzione in tedesco

  1. Guten Morgen, ich hätte gern Orangen / Wie viele möchten Sie? / Ein halbes Kilo, bitte / Romeo: Ich mag kein Obst
  2. Auberginen im Angebot! / Nur einen Euro pro Kilo! / Romeo: Und auch kein Gemüse.
  3. Haben Sie Forellen? / Klar, hier sind sie. Die sind ganz frisch. / Ich nehme vier.
  4. Guten Tag, eine Forelle, bitte. / Hier, bitte. Das macht acht Euro.
