Hello everyone and welcome to this new video!
Today we continue with a new Italian Crossword Test.
Today's one is level A2.
It is always a crossword puzzle with twelve definitions to enter. We
will read the definition together,
then I will leave you a few seconds to think while also giving you some help halfway through the time.
Here is today's crossword puzzle.
Those who subscribe to my Patreon will find it in the ITAL magazine along
with many other exercises, readings, explanations ...
If you are interested you can find the link in the description.
Let's start with number one.
This is a sentence to complete.
While I ... the television, my dog ​​slept on the carpet.
Clearly the verb is missing here and it is an eight letter word.
Gone with time.
Here is the initial of the word.
The solution is I was looking.
This is the verb to look at the indicative imperfect, first person singular.
In this sentence we have two actions of a certain duration
that occur simultaneously in the past.
For this we use the imperfect for both verbs: I looked and slept.
While I was watching television my dog ​​slept on the carpet.
Let's move on to number four, as we have just discovered a letter.
I remind you that it is not mandatory to go in order.
Room in the house where you spend the night.
Six letters, of which we know the second, an A.
The answer is room.
The bedroom, or simply room, is the room in the house where you sleep.
The term room could indicate any room in the house,
but this term is usually used strictly to indicate the bedroom.
Number three. Feminine of "painter".
We have eight letters and we know that the fifth is an R.
Way with time.
The word to enter is painter.
Here we are confronted with the Italian rules for transforming male names into female names.
Remember that the Italian male names ending in TORE,
in the feminine will end in TRICE.
Traveler, traveler; actor, actress; emperor, empress.
As always there are some exceptions, such as "doctor", "doctor".
Number two. Future of the verb to win, in the first person plural.
We have nine letters and we know the second is an I.
Word is we will win.
Here it is important to know the rules for the formation of the simple future.
With the verbs of the second conjugation ending in ERE,
such as "to win", it is very simple.
We need to remove the last letter, the E, and add the simple future endings:
I will win, you will win, he / she will win, we will win.
Let's do number five, which is a sentence to complete.
The gift is ... the box.
Here we have six letters and the fifth is an R.
The word to enter is inside.
The gift is inside the box.
"Inside" is a preposition that joins directly to the complement,
or through the preposition A.
So I could say "inside the box" or "inside the box".
Now, with the number eleven, let's move on to an area of ​​the crossword puzzle that we haven't explored yet.
Italy has twenty. What are we talking about?
The mystery word this time has seven letters and we don't know any.
Time away!
We are talking about the regions.
Italy is divided into twenty geographical areas called regions, did you know?
There is, for example, the Veneto, my region, where Venice is located.
Then we have Lombardy, where it is located in Milan.
Tuscany, where there is Florence.
Lazio, where Rome is located, etc.
Number six. Another sentence to complete.
Sorry, ... tell me where is the bathroom?
Eight letters, of which we know the fifth which is an E.
The magic word is you may.
Being a polite request in the present tense we must use the
conditional way of the verb power: I could, you could, he could, etc.
If any of you had thought of the verb know ("could you tell me where it is?"),
That too might have been correct.
However, only before you discover that the word begins with the letter P.
Number nine: feminine of "king".
The feminine of such a short word has six letters, of which we know that the fourth is a G.
What word is it?
The feminine of "king" is "queen".
"Re" is one of the few words that form the
feminine irregularly by adding the suffix INA.
Other words are: rooster, hen; hero, heroine.
Let's now turn to a culinary question, number ten.
Sicilian sweets with an elongated shape.
Those of you who are experts in Italian cuisine and are also a lover of Sicily will guess right away.
We have seven letters and the third is an N.
We are talking about the very good and famous cannoli.
These are Sicilian pastry products prepared
with puff pastry rolled around a torch, fried
and then filled with a mixture of sweetened and flavored ricotta ... I'll stop here!
When you come to Italy remember to taste them!
Number twelve.
Past participle of "to do".
Here we have five letters and we don't know any.
The past participle of "do" is "done".
The verb to do is an irregular verb and so is its past participle.
According to the rule, we would have to remove ARE and add ATO, so we would have "done".
The irregularity is therefore given by the addition of a second T: done.
Number eight. The animal that sings in the morning.
Five letters. Time away!
This animal is clearly the rooster.
It is certainly not the only one who sings in the morning, but it is the quintessential symbol of morning song.
I take this opportunity to remind you that the feminine of this name is "hen".
We saw it a little while ago.
There are irregular nouns that form the feminine with the suffix INA:
rooster, hen; hero, heroine; King Queen.
Last sentence to be completed, number seven.
Yesterday at the restaurant ... an amazing pasta dish.
This time I don't give you the answer, but I would like you to try and write it in the comments.
I only tell you that the verb must be conjugated to the past participle,
because it is an action carried out in a recent past, yesterday.
I'm curious to see which of you have come this far and figured out the solution.
I would say we did a great job!
