| 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!" |
| Ofelia: Ce l'ho fatta! Sono al concerto dei Negramaro! |
