This review is from: Beyond the Dictionary in Italian; a handbook of everyday Italian (Paperback)
I have referred to this little book for many years. This explains many Italian terms and sayings that are not elaborated in the dictionary. These are terms such as "pantera" ( police car), which you see or hear in the news or "pure", a very Italian way of emphasizing an expression such as "prendelo pure' which would be "take it by all means".
I have two problems with this book. The quality of the binding is poor, so it falls apart. It avoids off color or obscene terms. People do use them.
