I learned that bevere is "to drink," and it's what I hear in the South here, so what's the difference between bere and bevere?

"Bevere" is the old/arcaic popular (=of the population; "vulgar" if you want) form of the verb "bere". You can consider it as a local (Regional) version of "bere", which is the verb we now commonly use when speaking standard Italian. We also kept the root "bev-" for (many of) this verb's conjugations. For example: (indicativo presente:) io bev-o tu bev-i .... (indicativo passato prossimo:) io ho bev-uto .... (indicativo passato remoto:) io bev-vi/bev-etti .... (congiuntivo presente:) che io bev-a

... and so on. Ofc being an irregular verb, you can also find for example "io berrò" (indicativo futuro semplice) and "io berrei" (condizionale presente), but that's ofc another story and not what you asked for :D

Destati overall is associated with the heart and the light vs darkness conflict, but considering that its lyrics talk about remembering and taking something back and that the choir is addressing a female/feminine entity, I wonder if it could be about Kairi as well, at least in some roundabout way (though admittedly luce/light in italian is a feminine noun to begin with too)

Thinking about yesterday's finnish class, where my lovely teacher (this sweet 60 year old lady that gives off precious aunt vibes) was giving us some verbs to conjugate with her in call to practice conjugation/different verb types, and then gave me the verb 'Kiroilla'. I don't know what that means, but she always tells us what new verbs mean when we do exercises so I'm just there chilling with no reaction to it, but I see she's struggling to find her words and she goes like 'Kiroilla means... uhm... eh... 'to curse'. You know what Marina, just do the negative conjugation for this' NJHSDGHCHUJKSDGVVYUHGRBJABOIFCHBIOGBVIOJUERGFBDVOIURFE She looked so mortified... it was so funny oh my god

She said 'Well I needed some verbs to conjugate that end with 'LA'... sometimes there's not enough and I had to pick one...' dshjgvjfdgbvhjfd

15 fics in the byler tag are written in Italian.

The question is: can I learn more Italian by reading them than I learned in 4 years of school?

I've actually found that language learning is quite enjoyable for me when you look at it as a bunch of different skills you can use. I think the thing that first triggered this feeling as an example was when my English teacher from exchange (they put me in English so I could help out the class/teachers lol) who was an L2 speakers said "that makes two of us" when talking to me and even though you I would usually hear "same" or "me too" it was just a nice way of showing how hard you worked in the language. So yeah, going to focus more on grammar points and sentence structures for Italian

New fun language learning activities: read Wikipedia pages for philosophical and political theories in your target language, just for kicks.

Ciao! Qual’è la differenza tra “vedere” e “guardare” quando qualcuno dice “Io _____ TV/film/serie/etc”? Ho visto cose come “Io sto guardando il TV” e “Dove vedere questa serie”. Le situazioni sono diverse? Grazie 😅

Ciao! Ti rispondo in inglese perché magari interessa anche altre persone che parlano meno bene italiano!

The difference between "vedere" and "guardare" (as in "sentire" and "ascoltare") is in the attention of the subject in doing the action. For example "Guardo/sto guardando la TV/un film" = I watch/I'm watching the TV/a movie: it means you are looking with attention, to understand what is going on, you're paying attention to the movie to get the plot. While "vedere" = to look, but you don't have to put much attention into this action. Or, as in your example, "Dove posso vedere questa serie?" = Where can I watch/see this TV serie?, means you are looking for a random place/website that broadcasts that serie, but you don't need to put attention into watching that website per se. You only need that to watch something else.

Another example could be: "Non ti ho visto! Stavo guardando le vetrine" = I didn't see you! I was watching shops' windows. you weren't looking at the people around you with attention (cause you were paying attention to something else = shops' windows) so you couldn't spot your friend that stopped you suddenly to salute you.

Same goes for "sentire", as I was mentioning: "Ho sentito un rumore" = I heard a noise (but you don't know what it is about, it was a sudden noise) and "Ti sto ascoltando" = I'm listening to you (I am paying attention to what you are saying)

Hope this helps!

Thinking of how my qpp wanted to learn italian, and actually tried because they went to classes, before realizing in horror what a mess of a language it is
