Il vocabolario invernale – Winter vocabulary\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Buongiorno lettori!\u00a0<\/em>Good morning readers!<\/p>\n

It is starting to feel like inverno<\/em> (winter) here since yesterday was our first nevicata\u00a0<\/em>(snowfall). I have been dreaming about ‘una settimana bianca’ <\/em>(‘a white week’) which is a common term used in Italy to indicate una\u00a0permanenza in montagna per un periodo di vacanza di circa sette giorni,\u00a0<\/em>a stay in the mountains for a period of vacation of around seven days. Some typical winter sports that are enjoyed during this time are lo\u00a0sci alpino <\/em>(alpine skiing), lo\u00a0sci nordico <\/em>(nordic skiing), lo\u00a0snowboard <\/em>(snowboarding), <\/em>lo\u00a0slittino<\/em> (sledding), o il pattinaggio sul ghiaccio <\/em>(ice skating).<\/p>\n

A me piace lo snowboard,\u00a0<\/em>I like snowboarding and for that reason non vedo l’ora per la neve\u00a0<\/em>(I can’t wait for the snow)!<\/p>\n

Il solstizio d’inverno\u00a0<\/em>(winter solstice) is not here until il 21 dicembre,\u00a0<\/em>but let’s learn some vocabolario invernale\u00a0<\/em>in the meantime because \u00e8 quasi arrivato<\/em>, it has almost arrived!<\/p>\n

Il maglione, il pullover –\u00a0<\/em>sweater<\/p>\n

Sometimes during the winter I can feel a bit meteopatica,\u00a0<\/em>or meteopathic<\/a>,<\/strong> which is a recent word introduced to the English language that can be more commonly translated as ‘under the weather’ or even ‘winter blues.’<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The word came from the Greek\u00a0ta meteora<\/i>\u00a0(meaning \u2018celestial phenomena, things above\u2019) and\u00a0patheia<\/i> (\u2018suffering, feeling\u2019). I do enjoy the ferie<\/em> (holidays) and of course lo snowboard<\/em> but sometimes the tempo buio e tetro\u00a0<\/em>(dark and bleak weather) get the best of me! Days like that call for la cioccolata calda\u00a0<\/em>and plenty of coccole<\/em> (cuddles) with my dog.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
E voi mai sentite meteopatici?<\/em> Do you ever feel ‘meteopathic?’ What do you do per combattere<\/em> (to fight) those winter blues?<\/div>\n
