ITALIAN school VOCABULARY: expressions to talk about school

• Facebook LearnAmo
• Instagram LearnAmo
• Twitter LearnAmo
• YouTube LearnAmo
• TikTok LearnAmo
• Pinterest LearnAmo

Expressions to be used in the School Context

Here’s a list of the essential italian expressions you need to know to talk about school:

• Iscriversi/Immatricolarsi Mollare/abbandonare gli studi means joining an istitution or an organisation by registering one’s name and following the required formalities. The first enrollment of a student to a high school or a university is called immatricolazione . And the person who enrols there for the first time is called matricola (freshman) .
• Essere una matricola means being a student in the first year of high school or the first year of university.
• Mollare/Abbandonare gli studi means interrupting studies without completing them.
• Seguire le lezioni – L’orario delle materie means attending different classes following a pre-established timetable, which lists the various subjects you have to attend on different days of the week, hour by hour.
• Assegnare i compiti (insegnante) – Svolgere/Fare i compiti (studente) happens when the teacher assings homework and tell the students what they have to do at home before the next lesson. They then have to follow those instructions, which means they have to do the homework.
• Fare l’appello means calling several people by name, in a set order (mostly alphabetical), to make sure they are present.
• Essere presente/assente : if the student answers with “ Present! ”, it means that he/she is in class. Otherwise, if he/she has stayed home for any reason, he/she is absent.
• Essere bocciato/promosso : if speaking about a single exam , it means failing it. Not being promoted to the next class (usually because of too low grades) and having to repeat the year means instead flunking out . If, on the other hand, you successfully complete the year and are admitted to the next class, you have passed.
• Essere rimandato : A student can fail one or more subjects (maximum 3) at the end of the year. This means that he/she is not repeating the year, but that there is no grade in those subjects, because he/she will have to take extra exams at the end of the summer, before school starts. If he/she passes those exams, he officially passes, otherwise, he has to repeat.
• Prendere/Beccarsi una nota sul registro : the register log is the notebook in which the teachers write the “history” of the class. Only teachers can fill it out and they have to enter their signatures, the absences, the homework they assign, the work done during the lesson and the general data of the pupils, day by day. There, among other things, warning letters are written. A warning letter is a memo written by the teacher concerning misbehaviour by one or more students. Each warning letter “taken” by the student influences his or her final grade. If a student misbehaves frequently or does something very very serious, he or she may be suspended from school activities for up to 15 days.
• Fare sega/fare filone/marinare la scuola/bigiare means not going to school for a day (or more) without your parents knowing it. It is a problem with the “ giustifica ” ( a document that the parents have to sign stating that they are aware that their child is absent from school, usually for health or personal reasons). It stops being a problem when you turn 18 years old and you can sing you own “giustifica”.
• Andare alla lavagna means being called by the teacher and having to go to the blackboard to do some excercises that the teacher has assigned.
• Fare il compito in classe means that the whole class, generally once a month, takes written test that helps the teacher cheacking the knowledge that the students have acquired in his subject
• Sostenere un’interrogazione : “interrogazione” is an oral test that takes place once or twice a month for each individual student, during which the teacher asks the student several questions, and he/she has to answer them. No, it is not an interrogation (which is what takes place in a police station with an alleged criminal).
• Fare scena muta means remaining silent, not speaking, not answering the questions asked.
• Assegnare / Ricevere un voto means to give/receive a teacher’s judgment on the student’s performance, written or oral, in his/her subject.
• Diplomarsi, laurearsi means to complete one’s studies at high school (one receives a diploma) or at university (one receives a degree).
• Primo/secondo quadrimestre/semestre refers to the division of the school year into two parts . At school we talk about terms (4-month period), at university we talk about semesters (6-month period). At school you receive a report card at the end of each term. The report card is a document that the school issues to each student which contains the final grades that the student has received in the various subjects, obtained by averaging the various grades collected over the months. The report card of the first term is important but not decisive, it is only a reference point to understand what to concentrate on to avoid repeating the year at the end of the second term.
• Fare il lecchino means behaving in an excessively servile way towards someone, in order to get into their good graces and benefit from them.
• Essere un secchione means studying hard and consistently, without necessarily having any special skills or abilities.
• Copiare durante un compito it means to copy the answers you don’t know by all means and from all possible sources.
• Suggerire a un compagno means offering the answers to a classmate who, during an oral test, doesn’t know them.
• Imparare a memoria means fixing concepts in one’s mind: it is fine for lists, but it is wrong for broader, discursive things. It means learning mechanically, without real, deep understanding, repeating word by word what is written in the book.
• Un 10 per l’impegno means appreciating effort and commitment. However, you hardly ever hear this sentence at school. Even if you are praised for your effort (receiving a good grade), that grade will never be a 10, which is the maximum.
• Buttarsi sui libri / Mett ersi sotto means putting in a lot of effort to study. These expressions are often used when you have little time left before an exam or an oral text or at the end of the year and you study a lot because you don’t want to risk repeating the year.

THE ITALIAN VERB “TO DO”: 5 WAYS YOU CAN USE IT (PRESENT)

Grammar , Learn Italian

The verb “fare” ( to do ) is one of the most important irregular verbs in Italian,  along with the verbs “ essere ” ( to be ) and “ avere ” ( to have ).

We have so many expressions with this verb that sooner or later you’ll come across it anyway! However this verb is irregular so it’s conjugation is not that easy, but today we’ll only focus on the present tense.  

To make the lesson more practical, I’ll also give you 5 ways to use the Italian verb “to do” to speak of different topics .

This is what we’ll cover in this lesson:

• How to say to “do” in Italian
• The present tense of the verb to “do”
• 5 common uses of “to do” 

How to Say the Verb “to Do” in Italian 

First of all let’s see how to say “to do” in Italian. “ Fare ” is the infinitive form , but you don’t really use it in conversations as you generally need the conjugated form.

In Italian, indeed, we have what’s called “coniugazione verbale” and it simply means that the verb must change accordingly with its subject . In other words, the verb form depends on who’s talking and of whom. For example, “I do” is “io faccio “, but “you do” becomes: “tu fai “.

It’s easier than it looks so keep reading to see how to conjugate “fare” in the present tense. 

THE ITALIAN VERB “TO DO” (FARE): PRESENT TENSE

As already mentioned, you can’t use the infinitive form to speak with people . 

If you do, you’ll make very hard for them to understand what you say. 

So unfortunately there’s no other way but to conjugate this verb .

“To do” in Italian is an irregular verb , same as “ essere ” (to be) and “ avere ” (to have). This means that its conjugation doesn’t have a pattern so you’ll need to learn it as it is. 

It’s actually not that complicated when you learn it in a practical way by using the verb in real contexts.

But let’s do one step at a time … first the boring part (the conjugation) and then the practical and funny one! 

Conjugation of the verb “to do” (in Italian)

So this is how you conjugate “fare” in the present tense :

• LUI/ LEI FA
• NOI FACCIAMO

Try to repeat it a few times but then practice using this verb in real situations. 

So check out the next section to find out 5 common ways to use the Italian verb “fare” (to do) .

5 WAYS TO USE THE ITALIAN VERB “TO DO” (FARE)

Okay that was a bit boring … let’s move on to the more practical part of this lesson which is how to use the verb “fare” (to do) in real life . 

Here you are 5 common examples where you can use the verb “to do” in daily conversations.

#1 – To Tell about your Job  

You can use the verb “to do” to tell people what you do for work .

The sentence you need to use is the below:

(IO) FACCIO + your job

So for example:

• Io faccio l’insegnante = I’m a teacher
• Tu fai l’avvocato = you’re a lawyer
• Lei fa la commessa = she’s a sales assistant

#2 – To Say of your Actions

Another way you can use the verb “to do” in Italian is to say about something that you’re doing or an action.

So the structure of you sentence will be:

(IO) FACCIO + your action

Here you are some examples:

• Io faccio una telefonata = I make a phone call
• Voi fate colazione = you have breakfast
• Loro fanno i compiti = they do their homework
• Lui fa la doccia = he has a shower

#3 – With the meaning of “to make”

A third way to use the verb “to do” in Italian is with the meaning of making/prepare .

The structure of the sentence is always the same, so for instance:

• (Io) faccio  un disegno = I’m making a drawing
• (Tu) fai una torta = you’re making a cake
• (Lui) fa le valigie = to pack –  The word “valigie” means luggages  in English

#4 – To Give your Wishes

The next way you can use the verb “to do” in Italian is to give your wishes to someone. 

Here the sentence is a little more complex : after the verb “fare”, you need to add your wishes along with the person that you’re congratulating.

(IO) FACCIO + your wishes + A + who you’re congratulating

Let’s see some examples: 

• (Io) faccio gli auguri a te = I give my wishes to you
• (Tu) fai  le congratulazioni agli sposi = you congratulate the newly married couple
• (Lui) fa i complimenti alla fidanzata = he pays many compliments to his girlfriend  

As you can see, you need the preposition “a” before the person that you’re congratulating .

Things get more complex when this preposition is in front of an article , like in the last two examples; however don’t worry about it for now as I’ll cover it in a separate lesson. 

#5 – To Talk of an Event you’ll Host

Finally, “fare” is also used to say that you’re hosting a type of event such as a party, a dinner, a meeting and so on.

In Italian you say as per the following examples:

• (Io) faccio una festa = I make a party
• (Voi) fate una cena = I make a dinner 
• (Loro) fanno una riunione = I have a meeting

It is very common for English speakers to ask a new acquaintance what their job is. Asking someone about their profession is one of the most common things to do when making small talk with them. However, in Italy, asking what someone does for a living is considered a very personal question. 

If you are being asked the question, you can respond with: 

• Faccio (literally: I do) + definite article + the name of your occupation;
• Sono... (I am) + indefinite article + the name of your occupation.

Here are some examples:

Here are some other possible answers and ways of talking about your job in Italian:
