Re: Remember Paul Cacciatore ?

Ciao Karen,

È piacevole per sentire da lei. La Sardegna è un posto bellissimo. Sono felice di sentire che si sta facendo bene. Quanto tempo hai vissuto in Italia? Vorrei scrivere in italiano prima che altri ti arrabbiare. Si prega di perdonare i miei errori grammaticali. E 'stato un lungo tempo.

Now, if I did not tell you that my mom is 100% Irish, she would literally kill me ... especially with St. Patrick's Day looming. For the non-Italian speakers, Cacciatore does in fact mean "hunter" in English. As you know, "caccia" in Italian means "hunt" and the Italian suffix "tore" is like the English "er" suffix. Similarly, "pescatore" means "fisherman" in English.

So much for the Italian lession! At some point, you must tell us how you ended up in beautiful Sardinia. Being Sicilian of course, I should point out that Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily!

In any event, congrats on your "N.E.D." status. Can it get any better than living in Sardinia and being N.E.D.? The Italians would call that "paradiso!" Take care and keep studying that Italian! Cordiali saluti, Paolo
