😂😂Almost all the words come from southern Italy and are still used here. A big hug to all Italians in America, you are our pride 👍
❤❤❤❤❤
It's cool you're showing love and respect to Italian Americans. Some comments from Italians in Italy are not so nice. They are probably Milanese.
@@geoffoakland Thank you. I'll let you know that Milanese people are extinct, we are all children of southerners who immigrated to the north in the 1950s, a hug from Milan
Just mappina (never heard about personally) and stonato are from southern Italy (in northern Italy it means just out of tune), the other words are used all over the country. My grandma/nonna used to call me Mammalucco when I did bad things as a kid and she was from Tuscany. Nice channel btw
@@bio4546 We are proud of you 🇮🇹🇺🇲
THE BABES LOVE THIS!🙌
mapine! 😂
😂
Thanks..I grew up in an Italian town in Pennsylvania..but I loved the accent and the proper pronunciation of certain Italian words
❤
proud of my culture. and we are the only latins since latin was born in rome 3000 yrs ago. not spanish ,they are castillian culture. latina is a city in italy we must stick together
I have an Italian Culture from my father's heritage and my mother was Cuban.
You are correct that the "Latin " language originated in Latium, today's Lazio. But you're completely in error as to "Castillian Culture-"
Spanish comes from the Classic Latin of the Roman Conquest, the Ecclesiastic Latin from the Magisterium of the Church, and the Vulgate( meaning the common verbage not profane);
Spanish standardized throughout the Spanish Colonies because Spain became wealthy from it's seaborne empire.
Paradoxically Italian is a new language, probably less than 160 years old as written and Spoken today. Italy was divided in to several city states, governed by absentee land owners more powerful than Italy itself.
Principally Normans( French) and three different Kingdoms from Spain.
Catalan, Aragon and the Viceroyalty of King Alfonso.
The "Castillian Flag" is displayed in the Coat of Arms of Sicily.
Spain Ruled the two kingdoms of Sicily.
And the Spanish Pronunciation of the Latin influenced the South and Sicily.
The U Sound for the O
is the remnant of the Spanish.
Yes Latin originated in Rome.
But Italian Language is from the Neo Latin after Dante.Bocaccio. petrarch.
Spanish comes from the classic and ecclesiastic latin.
Spanish is Older than today's Italian.
I speak both Fluently.
Sicilian, Calabrian, Neopolitan are NOT Dialects; Italian didn't exist for them to have branched off as a Dialect. They are regional languages, albeit having their roots in a variety of different forms of Latin.
Example: I'm sure you know the Spanish word for Beer? Cerveza.
It comes from Classic
Latin pronounced Keh Wes CER VEZ
meaning Cereal. Grains. Orzo.
Birra Is Italian for Beer!
A Non-Latin modernism!
Spanish is More Latin than the Modern Italian ALTHOUGH yes LATIN Comes from where Italy is today
BTW all those funny American Terms Tara has shown here have traces of original words.
Mamaluke actually comes from the Arabic invasion of Sicily from the time of Saladin.
They were called Mameleuk.
From north africa.
Stu Nad
Comes from the legitimate word for Tonation as in Music.
Intonato - in tune
distonato- out of tune
From the Verb INTONARE
as I said the O becomes a U in the south so DISTONATO
becomes STUNATO
out of tune-
its used to be "stupid"
But STUPIDO in Italian and ESTUPIDO Spanish are much harsher than just out of tune.
The word for out of Tune in Spanish uses the Latin verb REFINARE to be refined.
Out of Tune in Spanish?
DESAFINADO
100 PER CENT LATIN
btw "Castillian" is not a Language. It is from the Latin.
It is referred to as Castillian to distinguish today's Spanish in Spain from the OLDER Spanish the Conquistadores taught -- and remains- here in the Americas.
"Castillian" or Castellano is a Region in Spain which formed an Alliance by and through the marriage of Ferdinand of Leon
and Isabella from Castilla- to fight the Moors.
Hence Castilla + Leon Castillian.
"Capisce Paisan"?
Also the Sicilian colors Red and Yellow
Along with the red and White Castillian Flag with a Castle and a Lion comes from Spain not Italy.
Italy did not exist as a nation until the late 19th Century.
" rispetuosamente tu e' molto stunad-"
@@paullisanti8673 good point but the bottom line is latin started in rome over 3000 yrs ago ,yes 3000 spanish came later much later than 3000 and it was originally castillian. italians own latin. thats why latina in a real city outside rome. JLO needs to be told
@@joederocco9321 I agree. What I believe happened is, sometime in the '60s Hispanics(My Lovely Mother was Cuban and was Proud to be who she was, a refined Lovely Dainty Cuban Lady, not that she disliked other Latin Americans--BUT the term "Latino" was invented by I believe Non-Hispanic Americans to Categorize all Latin Americans as ONE Group "Latino" not based Solely on the Spanish Language coming from Latin(as does French, Portuguese, Romanian and OF COURSE Italian--) but to Group ALL people from South of the Border, whether you are White Celtic Spaniard like me(along with my Father's Sicilian ) or Mulattos in the Dominican Republic and Cuba, Puerto Rico; to White Spaniards and Italians in Argentina etc Or Indians in Mexico--as "LATINOS" and it's wrong. The Only thing "Latin" we have in Common is where our Language came from and was brought to the Americas by the Conquistadors who FORCED it upon the Americas--SO you are 100% Correct. the ONLY True "LATIN" is the Italian--and I'm also Italian ! heheheh So I can Latin Latino!! God bless you--Keep fighting to support our
Beautiful and our ONE-AND-ONLY Culture which is PURE 100 % Latin
BUT remember Spanish was not developed in Spain by the Spaniards; it was brought to Spain by the Romans. And Romans came from ---uhhhh, ROME!
@@joederocco9321 Agree on 99% of all you said but one thing: The "latin" language in Spain came from the Romans(Traian) and then later the Church.
The Two Regions of Spain that joined to create the Kingdom of Spain Castilla and Leon hence, CASTELLANO came when the Language already had standardized around the time of Cervantes> Castillian Spanish is a more modern term to distinguish what my mother spoke and learned in Cuba versus the more Modern Spanish Spoken today in Spain.
The Latin In Spain is "Osco-Umbrian" which comes from Puglia Italy; the Latin Spoken in Italy today is the Neo Latin, which came during and after Dante Alighieri and then the Rennaissance which Modernized Italian. Paradoxically (we know Spanish came from Rome) the Spanish Language is OLDER than the Italian spoken today. Two Difference Evolutions of LATIN; and Three Different forms fo Latin: Classic; Ecclesiastic and Vulgate--
Italian has Classic, Ecclesistic and Neo Latin--
All throughout the World from 800 to about 1700s the Only people who could read and write wer the clerics and the only language the clerics spoke was Latin. And Spain was a wealthy empire and could hire Latin Speakers from all over the Old Holy Roman Empire; Italy-where it all came from--fell in to an abyss. They had no Navy to protect themselves and Hence the Mafia and other Brigands were the only people who could defend Italy in the Middle Ages. The two most powerful countries at that time were France and Spain Both having large Navies. Italy being rich land, and a peninsula, was occupied by Absentee Landowners principally from Normandy and Aragon and Castille and Catalunya(Barcelona) In fact in Sicily, the remnant of the Spanish can be found in Surnames and Pronunciation. Cussumano ceoms from the Spanish Guzman; an Austro-Bourbon nane. Catalano comes from Spain's Catalan region; Castiglione comes from Castllian meaning Central Spain (Isabel and Ferdinand). And the Aragon Kingdom under Philip dominated Sicily Calabria and Naples for 350 years. Spanish Latin influenced the way Neopolitans speak. I may be Italian and Cuban, but my Soul is 100% Sicilian--but I'm kind! God bless you
Forget it dropped at 2:03. 😂

Happy New Year ❤
Mammalucco It is still used in Calabrian and Sicilian dialects and means stupid
😂😂👏👏
@@tarajokes I love your entire Personality and you are so typically Italian --Pretty, Funny! My mother was from Cuba and she studied in Milian for 1 yaer as a teenager. She was knock-em-dead beautiful. And our father was Sicilian American--we grew up in Hollywood Florida. Everyone here thought our mom was Italian. And then the Cuban and other Hispanics began to arrive in the 60's and my mom taugh Dance, she was a ballerina and pianist and she was able to speak Spanish(Like a Cuban!) to them! We lived with our Paternal Grandparents who were WONDERFUL and my mom could speak Italian with them perfectly. My Two Sisters(God rest their souls) were MORE Italian in eery way than Spanish. I am the Lightest complexioned and most Gringo Looking of the family; my sisters could be YOUR sisters--they were both Gorgeous--but as Italian as I like to act and dress and behave--and Probably Look--I'm a little Cuban inside, too! I'm lucky--(BTW VAFFANGUL is not a nice thing to say) and it does not mean the Equivalent of the F word in English)
It is Vai fa' nello Culo" which is horrifically Filthy in Italy--I never liked it--NOR do I use it--I like Stronzo better ! heheheheh!!
it comes from the Arab / Muslim Invasions of Sicily during the period of Saladin in the 9th Century Mameleuks --originating in a Highly Cultured period when Damascus and Baghdad made european cities look look shacks in West Virginia. Only the Greeks and Ancient Romans had something Par with that Muslim Period in Damascus. There was a time when the Persian Empire matched or surpassed the Greeks. Everthing changes. We Italians have so much talent to build and design products, so creative with Automobiles, Clothes, etc., but most Italian Americans can't put a simple sentence together in English. And the Only "Italian" they know is some word here and there that is profane. Funny show, but also very revealing as to who so many of us truly really are--
@@paullisanti8673 Hi Paul, I'm writing to you with the translator. I know little English. Here we Italians understand Spanish much better. It's very similar. However, here in general Caribbeans are seen well, especially Cubans.
@@paullisanti8673 Greetings to all of you Italians, you are our pride 👍
I'm familiar with all the slang words in this video except for mamaluke. It's probably American.

Not just one of these words is italian but just sounds as a similar dialect of southern Italy in fifties. American Italian doesn't mean Italian and has nothing to do with Italy. Italians are just those who was born an live in Italy and speak italian. You don't speak a world in italian and are 100% american and there's nothing bad for it. Don't call your self italian please. You aren't.
Ive yet to hear mamaluke. Havent done anything stupid enough to be called a mamaluke. Give it time
❤
the Literal Definition of a word which "shadows" some similarity to a LATIN Origin, is defined more as how it is used; not the Literal term. Disgraziato (past tense of Disgraziare --to DISGRACE--to act in a shameful manner--may be used to describe just poor behavior. Depending on how and to whom it is directed. Southern Italian Americans never learned the Standard Italian and certainly didn't ever study Dante or Florentine Italian. They spoke Regional Languages (NOT DIALECTS). Sicilian, Neopolitan, Calabrian, are NOT Dialects, but rather Regional Languages all having their Roots in Latin. Italian did not exist as a standard tongue until quite recently. Remember, Italy was only Unified in 1867, and even during the '20s, more than 80% of Italy was Illiterate. Only after WW2, was there a push to Standardize the LANGUAGE.
Spanish and French both come from Latin origins also,. AND in the middle ages Normans and Spanish(three kingdoms, Aragon, Catalunya and the House of Alfonso(Ferdinand and Isabella) their Hiers Dominated Southern Italy. In fact the Sicilian Coat of Arms has the flag of Castille aned Leon(Castillion)--the house of Alfonso, So Southern Italy, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies were occupied by the absentee landowners, and the Spanish had the largest influence on many pronunciations of Italian words.
Another Example of Spanish Influence in Sicily: Torrone. The Morbido Dolce con Mandorle
that you can buy at Christmastime? That comes from the Turron Region of Spain where they have "Almendras" which are Almonds.
The Pronunciation of the U instead of the in italian Words of today is another remnant of the
Classic Latin and Ecclesiastic Latin which developed Spanish,.
Spain had more Influence on Southern Italy than Italian did.
mammalucco means just stupid and clumsy
❤
This is a word directly from the Sicilian Language.
1:30 probably from the spanish word Mameluco, italians doesn't say that word since is spanish.
Yes. We, Italians, said it all the time in NY ❤
i meant to say Italians from Italy @@tarajokes
The Mamluks were a Turkish militia but because in Italy "mammalucco" means "stupid" it is just phonetic symbolism. I don't know if it's the same thing for the Spanish
@@banamarco - You went off on an oblique direction - the only 2 things that the Mamluks and the Mamelucos had in common were: (1) They were both militia groups; and. (2) They were both from a Middle Eastern country. While the Mameluco (the Italian word: Mamalucco) were upper class Arabs from Syria and later Egypt that were active "militia groups" from the 13th - 16th Century, the Mamlukes originated in Turkey and were non-Arab, and forced to form militias as "slave soldiers" of the wealthy Arabs there in Turkey. The reason that both the Spanish word "Mameluco", and translated into Italian = "Mamalucco" both meant "a stupid and/or clumsy person" is because Spain and Italy both thought that the "upper class militia soldiers" in the Egyptian militia "Mameluco" should have conscripted the lower class (poor) Egyptian men as soldiers, in order to fight the battles for the upper class Egyptians. Since they did not implement that, the "Mamalucco/Mameluco" were thought of as "stupid".
Mammalucco means stupid person but in Italy it is obsolete, it was used until the 1950s. Mappina is the kitchen rag but it is its name in Campania and is said to a person who is worth little (si na mappin') then Disgraziato (without grace of God) is still used but very little and Stonato (without tone, out of mind) is also rarely used
I used to know this one maybe you can tell me in Italian. Starving to death.
This is hilarious! I’m from a Mexican family and my aunt used to call us mammalucco all the time when we were kids. I never knew where she got that from. But she used it as a substitute for mamón in Spanish which sounds more vulgar to us.
