In this article ?Italian Translation into English ? A trip to the Beach' I will be taking you on a trip to the seaside?..Italian style. I hope this will help those trying to learn the Italian language as well as those with a general passion for all things Italian.
Luckily for Italian's Italy is geographically long and thin giving almost all its citizens less then an hours drive before they arrive at the seaside. Lets not forget this is the Mediterranean so the weather allows many months of seaside outings trips.
As stated, Italy is surrounded with beaches and seaside resorts. Nearly all locations have private beaches (in some places you would struggle to find a free beach and then struggle even more for space). At these private beaches you can rent sun beds, umbrella's, beach cabins, etc. But most will not rent towels. These you should carry.
So lets start with a few Italian translations:
Is there a ??? here? ? C'e ??.? (Pronounced ?cheh?)
I want to rent some?.. ? Vorrei noleggiare??.
For?..hours ? Per?..ore
Deck chair ? una sedia a sdraio
Sun bed ? Lettino abbronzante
Umbrella ? un ombrellone
Now you are enjoy the beautiful weather perhaps its time for some activities. I hope these Italian translations will assist:
Is it safe for children? ? E sicuro per I bambini?
Is it safe to swim? ? Si puo nuotare?
Jet ski ? una moto acquatica
Diving equipment ? attrezzature da sub
Many Italians have a selection of beaches they like to visit. The mix depends on at which point they are at in their lives. The most common 2 are:
1) The family beach ? It's not a beach just for families. It the beach where the family goes to most. They will often rent their sun loungers and cabin for the entire season.
2) The beach where they go to meet their friends. This is often more the beach where people go for people watching, being noticed and making ?new? friends. A lot of dating commences at the beach.
But Italian men are not shy. They will go so far as to pass a girl a phone number when her boyfriend has gone to the bar. Or leave their sun bed at the same time as she does so they can intercept her as she walks back.
But this is a small issue compared to the great time you will have. Beautiful beaches, great weather, Great food (yes the food at the private beaches is pretty good too) clear seas and always a warm Italian atmosphere.

So I hope to bring to you in this article not only an Italian English translation of the text. But also, a feel of the Italian culture and way of life.
Italian Names for the Seasons - la primavera, l'estate, l'autunno, l'inverno The English Translations are:
Seasons la primavera-Spring l'estate-Summer l'autunno-Autumn l'inverno-Winter
In Italian the names of seasons (i stagioni) are not capitalized.
Now lets add some culture and lifestyle to this translation;
la primavera-Spring
The scent of flowers arrives in your house. The days start to get longer. The fog in Bolgna will start to decrease and you will be less neccessary to have extra clothes when you walk (caminare) in the evening to get an icecream (gelato).
Already, the whole of Italy is getting ready for the summer. In the south they may already be getting on the beach some weekends.
Another funny side I have discovered is that some of the Italians I know (boys and girls) are already planning on getting rid of their girlfriends / boyfriends so that they won't be restricted from the pleasures of summer.
When I think of an English Spring I remember a saying my mother as always said 'March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion' Meaning it will start nice, but end with the roar of storms.
l'estate-Summer
In the summer the Italians are all heading for the beach. Italy is long and narrow looking like a ladies boot. As such, you are genereally no more then 45 minutes from the beach.
Most Italian have a selection of beaches they use. The beach of the family, the beach where they meet their friends and the beach where they go to see and be seen!
l'autunno-Autumn
Autumn is generally a little depressing in most countries. The days are becoming shorter and the days on the beach are less and less inviting.
However, Italians love to party and the harvests create a cause for many regional celebrations. So I actually love this Italian season. Its cooler so you get to catch up on what you have put off through the heat of summer.
l'inverno-Winter
Well... again Italy is long and narrow and shaped like a boot as it has been formed by the merging of tetonic plates. This has resulted in a country that has mountains down its middle.
So the Italians, like many English, are generally off to the ski slopes. But unlike the English most Italians are only an hour from the slopes so they are able to go skiing most weekends.
I do hope you have enjoyed my article on the Italian seasons and the translation provided.
