POST
Becky: Listen again to Matteo's post.
Ofelia: Ce l'ho fatta! Sono al concerto dei Negramaro!
Becky: "I did it! I'm at Negramaro's concert!"
Ofelia: (SLOW) Ce l'ho fatta! Sono al concerto dei Negramaro! (Regular) Ce l'ho fatta! Sono al concerto dei Negramaro!
Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I did it!"
Ofelia: Ce l'ho fatta!
Becky: This is what you say when you have achieved something good. Listen again- "I did it!" is...
Ofelia: (SLOW) Ce l'ho fatta! (REGULAR) Ce l'ho fatta!
Becky: Then comes the phrase - "I'm at Negramaro's concert.."
Ofelia: Sono al concerto dei Negramaro.
Becky: To express possessives in Italian, you have to combine the preposition "of" and the correct definite article. In this example, it's the masculine plural article. Listen again- "I'm at Negramaro's concert." is...
Ofelia: (SLOW) Sono al concerto dei Negramaro. (REGULAR) Sono al concerto dei Negramaro.
Becky: All together, "I did it! I'm at Negramaro's concert!"
