INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Italian Visual Phrasebook.
This guide provides all the key words and phrases you are likely to need in everyday situations when you spend time in Italy. It is grouped into themes, and key phrases are broken down into short sections, to help you build a wide variety of sentences. A lot of the vocabulary is illustrated to make it easy to remember, and you’ll find this immediately after the key phrases for each topic. To help you with conversations in Italian, there are You may hear…
boxes, which feature questions you may come across.
The best way to navigate this guide is to start from the Table of contents. You can get there by selecting the book symbol DK , which can be found at the top of the page at the beginning of every section.
The order of contents is also listed on the first page of every chapter. Here, you will see links to other useful chapters such as the DK Dictionaries the DK Numbers, time and dates and the DK A-Z Food and drink.
DK If you can’t find what you’re looking for, use your device’s search function. Try searching one word at a time, rather than looking for phrases.
Nouns
All Italian nouns (words for things, people, and ideas) are masculine or feminine. The gender of singular nouns is usually shown by the word for the
: il or lo (masculine) and la (feminine). They change to l’ before vowels. The plural forms are i or gli (masculine) and le (feminine).
Adjectives
Most Italian adjectives change endings according to whether they describe a masculine or feminine, singular or plural word. In this guide the singular masculine form is shown, followed by the alternative feminine ending:
Mi sono perso/a
I’m lost
You
There are two ways of saying you
in Italian: lei (polite) and tu (familiar). In this guide we have used lei throughout, as that is what you normally use with people you don’t know.
Verbs
Verbs change according to whether they are in the singular or plural. In phrases where this happens, the singular form of the verb is followed by the plural form:
Dov’è/Dove sono…?
Where is/are…?
Pronunciation guide
Below each Italian word or phrase in this guide, you will find a pronunciation guide in italics. Read it as if it were English and you should be understood, but remember that it is only a guide and for the best results you should listen to and mimic native speakers.

In this section, you will find the essential words and useful phrases you need for basic everyday talk and situations. Be aware of cultural differences when you’re addressing Italian people, and also remember that they tend to be somewhat formal when they are greeting each other, using signore (for men), signora (for women), and signorina (for girls and younger women). These titles are also used with last names.
