Nice things Italians say

(or, a random list of italian expressions that i felt like sharing with the world)

“Se son rose fioriranno.” (literally, “If it’s roses, they will bloom.”) It’s usually used to calm down someone (or even oneself) who’s anxious about a certain situation (for instance going on a date), and it means that if something is bound to happen, it will, and hence that there’s no use being nervous.

“Non s'ha da fare.” It means “it’s not to be done”/“it’s not to happen”. Although this construct is strictly typical of the Florentine dialect, this fixed expression has become widely used in the Italian language after one of the most famous scenes in Alessandro Manzoni’s I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed), in the line “Questo matrimonio non s'ha da fare, né domani, né mai.” (“This wedding is not to be celebrated, not tomorrow, nor ever.”)

“Hai scoperto l'acqua calda.” (literally “You have discovered hot water.”) Used to ironise about someone’s obvious remark by calling it a revolutionary discovery.

“Morto un papa, se ne fa un altro.” (literally, “Once a pope dies, another one is elected.”) It’s usually used after the end of a relationship and it means that once you lose a lover, you just find another one. It can also be used in other situations with an equivalent meaning.

“Una volta ogni morte di papa.” It literally means “Once every pope’s death” and it’s used as an informal synonym for “very rarely”. (e.g. “Mi ammalo una volta ogni morte di papa.” -> “I get sick very rarely.”)

“La mamma è sempre la mamma.” It means “Mum will always be mum.” and it’s just an expression to state how your mum will always be there for you and will always be your home.

“Che pizza!” It literally translates “What a pizza!” but it has the same meaning as the English “Nuts!” (e.g. “Piove.” “Che pizza!” -> “It’s raining.” “Nuts!”). In the same way, the word “pizza” can be used as an adjective to describe an annoyingly boring person (e.g. “Sei una pizza, non vuoi mai fare nulla.” -> “You’re so boring, you never want to do anything”).

The fact that a 12-year-old has to take the initiative…

On Sixth Anniversary Of Flint Water Crisis, Flint Still Has No Backup Water Source

Flint, MI–On the sixth anniversary of the Flint water crisis, Flint is again in the midst of a crisis.

Six years after the disastrous switch to the Flint River as a source of drinking water for the city, which led to an outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease and toxic levels of lead leaching into the water, the city remains in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act for not having a reliable secondary drinking water source.

Mayor Sheldon Neeley sent a stern message to Flint city council Monday to, “finish the job,” referring to the 21-inch diameter, five-and-a-half-mile pipe, that would connect Genesee County’s water system to Flint. The pipe would ensure that should the current system, which pulls Lake Huron water via Detroit, fail, Flint would have a readily available source of water.

As of now, the only backup source the city has are water reservoirs, which would only supply residents with drinkable water for a matter of days. If anything, such as a major line break or any other unpredictable event that could compromise the city’s water, it’s unclear where Flint would go next once the reservoirs run dry. “The results could be catastrophic,” Neeley said.

The city, per federal law, must have a secondary source of water. The proposed project would be paid for by an Obama era bill, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act. The act authorized $100 million in funding for “Flint, Mich., to recover from the lead contamination in its drinking water system.” According to the EPA, $87 million of that money has not been spent.

The proposed backup system was due to be completed in December of 2019 at a cost of $14.7 million in federal funds. On Monday, the council again voted 4 to 4 delaying construction.  A majority vote of six would be needed from the nine-person council to reconsider the contract before they could revisit the project.

WHAT IS RAMADAN?

Every Ramadan I usually get asked the same questions so to save a bit of time, so here’s a crash course!

THE BASICS

Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic calendar (the islamic calendar is lunar thus why the dates change every year). Ramadan is the month where muslims fast every day from before the sun rises, until after the sun sets. In England this is usually around 16 -18 hours. During the hours when the sun is up, we won’t eat or drink anything. We also try to abstain from explicit things such as smoking, sex, gambling, drugs etc. 

Ramadan is a very holy month - it is the month when the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and there are heightened rewards during this month, and the devil is locked away, so Muslims will try to pray as much as they can, read more Quran and become more devout to take advantage of these rewards and also repent for their sins. It is a month of becoming closer to God - this is why you may see Muslims that usually drink / smoke give up these habits, and Muslim women may put on the hijab. There is also a date called Laylat-ul-Qadr - the night of power - and is usually celebrated on the 27th of Ramadan (although it could be the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th) - and this is the night where the Quran was first revealed. Muslims often spend this night in prayer as the reward for that night is worth a thousand months of rewards.

All Muslims look forward to it - we have big feasts in the evening and spend time together. There is a sense of love, peace and community, and fasting suddenly doesn’t seem hard at all. I truly can not describe in words how much we all love Ramadan. 

WHAT IS NSFR? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

NSFR is Not Safe For Ramadan. This term is usually used on social media to warn Muslims if someone’s account is deemed nsfr. Things that may be considered NSFR include food, music, cursing, anything remotely sexual - basically anything explicit. While some muslims may stay off of social media completely during ramadan, some won’t. If you want to tag anything you post that may be NSFR you can tag it as NSFR. Equally, you can ask your followers if there is anything else they may not want to see. Some people may be more sensitive to certain topics than others. If your account is frequently NSFR / you don’t want to tag, you could warn your muslim followers beforehand and ask if anyone wants to be hidden from your account. While these precautions aren’t at all necessary and nobody is obliged to do them, it’s just a nice respectful gesture and lots of muslims will greatly appreciate this.

FAQ/MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT RAMADAN

Not even water? We get asked this all the time. Yes, not even water. No food, no drink during the hours the sun is up.

Do you fast for the whole month continuously? Nope! We have two meals a day where we can eat and drink. One at dawn before the sun rises (suhoor/sehri), and one in the evening after the sun sets (iftar). If we fasted continuously from food and water for a whole month, we would die!

Does everyone have to fast? You fast if you are able to. Young children that haven’t reached puberty, sick people, disabled people, pregnant & menstruating women etc are all exempt from fasting. This includes people who need to take medication frequently / fasting would seriously harm them. However if your reason is temporary (i.e sickness / menstruation, you must make up the fasts you missed later in the year. 

What breaks a fast? What happens? If you eat, drink, or vomit on purpose, your fast is broken and invalidated. You have to make up/redo this fast afterwards. If you eat/drink/vomit mistakenly or by accident, your fast is completely fine! Having sex also breaks your fast, but you have to either fast for 60 days without missing a day or feed 60 poor/homeless people.

Do Muslims get any special modifications from school/work during Ramadan? Nope! Life continues as normal! We don’t get a free pass to sit at home as we still have priorities such as school, work etc. I did my GCSE exams during Ramadan with no extra time etc - life just goes on.

What age do Muslims stop/start fasting? Most young Muslims need to start fasting full-time once they hit puberty. Most young children like doing ‘half-fasts’ where they fast from suhoor until 3pm or fast from breakfast to lunch - however this is the child’s choice. Most of the elderly still fast in old age however they shouldn’t if it is damaging to their health.

Can I fast if I’m non-Muslim to support my friends, or is it rude? Of course you can! I think this is such a sweet idea! There was a teacher at my school who used to fast with us Muslims to try it and support us.

Do Muslims lose weight during Ramadan? Honestly, this is a subjective thing. Some people lose weight, some people gain it. But fasting for Ramadan definitely isn’t an amazing weight-loss plan!

Is it rude to eat/drink in front of Muslims that are fasting? Well, it is if you wave it in their face and are insensitive about it. Most Muslims, like myself, truly don’t mind. I’m one of the weird ones that likes it when people eat in front of me. If you’re not sure just ask them beforehand!

Well that’s it from me! I hope this was somewhat useful/educational. I’m not an expert by any means, this is just everything I know from being a Muslim myself. If anyone has any questions, then do let me know!
