Basic Italian Words Trivia Quiz

Pleeeease Say You Can Guess At Least 8/10 Of These Italian Words 

"Buonnagiovi" is a word I made up, because it reminded me of the band Bon Jovi. Sorry if you picked that.

"Buonasera" means "Good evening"!

Let's start by greeting each other! How do you say "Good evening"?

If you like cats, you should visit a cat sanctuary in Rome. They're very fun!

"Gatto" means "cat"!

"Panini" means "sandwiches," as in multiple.

"Panino" means "one sandwich"!

Which of these words means "one sandwich"?

This one's tricky, because the verb "lavare" is similar, but it means "to wash."

"Lavoro" means "job."

Though your sister or neighbor _can_ be your friend, "amico" specifically just means "friend." I remember this because it's very similar to the Spanish word "amigo," which also means "friend"!

"Amico" means "friend"!

In this instance, "per favore" means "please."

"Un maglione" means a "sweater" or "jumper."

"Un maglione" is an item of clothing. The question is, which of the following items is it?

In Spanish, "maestro" also means "teacher"! I often compare these two languages because they are similar in quite a few ways.

"Un maestro" means "a teacher."

"Bee" in Italian is "ape," pronounced "ah-pay."

I love animal questions, so let's do another. Which of these means "bee"?

If you picked "toilette," that means "toilet," so that's a freebie. You're welcome!!!

"Bagno" means "bathroom."

Lastly, the word "bathroom" was the most important one I learned before I traveled to Italy, so I think you should know it too. Which of these is correct?
