In this lesson, we cover ten rude Italian expressions. While these aren’t to be considered cuss words, they are indeed rude and we have to be careful with how we choose to use them.
These rude Italian expressions can’t be literally translated. For example: “Col cavolo!” literally means: “With the cabbage!”, but a translation that makes more sense is: “No way!”.
Some rude Italian expressions include animal names, for example: “Porca vacca!” means “Holy cow!”.
