Hi! I’m Sara, @unearthitaly on tumblr! I have a formal education in cultural and linguistic mediation and I work in the hotels in one of Italy's most developed tourist destinations, Alto Adige/South Tyrol. I embody some sort of "bridge" between Italian and other cultures professionally but also vocationally. I like to help Italophiles discover Italy beyond the obvious and I share tips on travel, culture, lifestyle and language.

You can also find me on my blog, Instagram and Threads. A presto!

Skulle du kunna förklara hur man berättar om tid på svenska? Såna uttryck som "for a year" "at eight" "in a minute" or "meanwhile" är ganska svåra att lära sig. Förlåt om du redan har gjort en sådan post!

Writing up a little vocab list here for you!

Vid åtta - At eight Vid midnatt - At midnight

Förra veckan - Last week Nästa vecka - Next week Om en vecka - In a week Inom en vecka - Within a week Under en vecka - During a week

Samtidigt / under tiden - At the same time / meanwhile

Vi ses om en timme! - See you in an hour! Fan, jag borde varit klar för flera timmar sen! - Damn, I should have been finished several hours ago!

Reblogging to add my favourite: till och med (abbreviated as t.o.m.); until and including. In English, I often wonder if "until Wednesday" means until the end of Tuesday or until the end of Wednesday, t.o.m. solves that beautifully:

Jag är på semester t.o.m. första veckan i mars = I'm on vacation until and including the first week of March

Nature, Seasons, and the Outdoors | Swedish Grammar

The four seasons and how to say 'in spring' vs 'last spring', the vocabulary of forests, lakes, and mountains, and the deeply Swedish concep

Came across this site. Page talks about nature, outdoors, and mentions seasonal expressions I haven't heard of.

Sano se saameksi/Säg det på samiska/Say it in Saami

I had the sudden idea to find out what Aurora Borealis or the Northern lights are called in any of the Sámi languages.

Instead of finding out I ended up on this phrasebook website for North Saami, Inari Saami and Skolt Saami. It is a website under the Finnish national broadcast company YLE, which is most probably why it focuses on these three.

Say it in Saami

Learn the indigenous North, Inari and Skolt Saami languages, watch documentaries about Saami-speaking people and learn the basics of Saami c

The site is available in Finnish, Swedish and English for anyone interested in having a browse through. I found the quick guide to Saami culture interesting myself and it featured quite a bit of different resources to check out.

French: Être vs Suivre

Recently learned that "je suis" has two different meanings.

"I am" & "I follow"

Être = je suis, tu es, il/elle/on est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont

Suivre = je suis, tu suis, il/elle/on suit, nous suivons, vous suivez, ils/elles suivent

So, if you see "je te suis," it doesn't mean "I am you."

Je te suis = I follow you (literal) Je te suis = I'm with you, I understand you, I get you (figurative)
