When stationed and traveling oveasers, a soldier had to be more interactive with local interactions. That just goes along with good diplomacy and images. We were even provided language schools to be able to function where we were.
Prove it now...that's exactly what an Italian told me for a celebration, at the Christmas/New Year's time of year...
How can I prove a made up comment is wrong? It's just not how Happy New Year is stated in Italy. I don't want to derail the thread
There is more than one way to pass greetings and meaning of that expression was stated...be a horn blower and wrong when someone else is offering seasoning respect from an Italian. Just because someone prefers a lame stance and cheap vanity shows instead, where you are limited.
Even when it shared seasonal joy. Way to go champ.
That was an insult taken out of context and that was brought into view, as here, not bothering to listen to a simple reason on why multiple things are acceptable...beyond Jerry and his quarterback!
Dude, not that it should matter, but my Mother was born in Italy and I speak more than a little Italian. You obviously do not. At least you are backpedaling now off your comment about "Happy New Year", but It doesn't exactly make sense how you are interpreting. And again I'm not derailing the thread. You can think what you want. I'm not interested in discussing it here.There is more than one way to pass greetings and meaning of that expression was stated...be a horn blower and wrong when someone else is offering seasoning respect from an Italian.

Stir the insults and assume no remorse all day, son...you still were wrong AND not impressive.
You showed mal intention from YOUR first post directed AT me. For your record.
Admit it, you can't even understand Italian broken down and simply explained. Ta ta
Here's the explanation again:
In Italian amate is associated with a person viewed as a closeness association...amatelo is added, because of the many Catholics...to mean something akin to if you want to make someone stronger - love him.
Hence a warm: amate...amatelo!
No Sir, smart guy. I used absolutely appropriate Italian that was not school entry level. My wife IS half Italian, so just sit your pompous butt down. Who won the war, Mr. 'Appropriate'!
Holiday expression I was extended IN Italy....you also implying I don't know what actually happened?
Some of these are slightly off or spelling is wrong and it isn't coming across properly. korean, vietnamese and "filipino" are pretty off. first off there isn't a filipino language. it's tagalog or a ton of other dialects like ilocano. baba eat is actually babae which means lady. i'm thinking you meant annyeonghaseyo for korean to say hello? i'm pretty fluent in vietnamese and i can't figure out what it's saying.
when i was in japan i always thought trying to learn the language and culture was such a sign of respect. it was so rude to see people walking around asking if anyone spoke english and being disappointed that no one did.
Enjoy shopping? Korea was great. In Germany, upon arrival, I had to guess and point at the menu to get a trout I was led to pick out.
Shopping was the best part. Korea and Japan were great. the food was amazing. just experiencing a different culture and perspective lets you understand so much more about your country and self imo. your strong and weak points both.
You were always improving life for those deployed. Honestly, thank you...
It’s not always true of course. Duh. But well educated folks are generally much more intelligent than those that aren’t. It’s a fact.
At least they truthfully put forth the effort and commitment. Some of life deals with opportunity for development.
I lived in Japan for 5 years. Learning at least a little bit of the language was a must. The more you know, the better experience you’ll have.
The better way to say this is well educated doesn't always mean shool educated, Education doesn't have to come from a classroom. Intelligence is basically the measure of how well you learn not just from classrooms but anything life brings you.
