My friends often ask me to teach them “cool Italian words” or “romantic Italian phrases” that usually get them or me in trouble (but could also cause some unsuspecting victim to fall in love with you… so be careful!)  I enjoy just hearing them give it a try… it reminds me of my Italian-American “friend” Joey Tribbiani’s experience trying to learn French (Joey gave me the inspiration to submit my entry to World Nutella Day this year) check it out.

So, if you’re looking for a few romantic Italian phrases here are few easy and tame ones to help you get started.  (I’m not a certified translator, so this is “more or less”)

• Sei una ragazza/donna fantastica = you’re a fantastic women
• Stiamo bene insiemi = we’re good together
• ti voglio un mondo di bene = You mean the world to me/ I care about you a great deal
• Quanto sei figa! = You’re a hotty (using the word “figa” could get you in trouble as it has several meanings, which I won’t explain here.)
• ti amo = I love you (this one is world renown but it never gets old!)
• mi fido di te = I trust you
