Michel Thomas Italian (Introduction/foundation)
Ciao! I'm new to Italki, currently an Economics student and learning Italian in my spare time!
Currently doing a Michel Thomas CD course (introduction/foundation), I'm finding this very good course, but there's no writen transcript of it (and can't find one anywhere on internet) and unfortunately he doesn't spell a lot of the words. As I'm new to Italian and have very limited knowledge of it this is creating a few difficulties, and therefore wondered if anyone who speaks Italian could help.
Michel says that for the word 'what' when it is not a question word, ie, when it is instead in the middle of a sentence is 'ciocce' (as he doesn't spell it I've no idea if this is the correct spelling, it sounds phonetically like 'chockay')
I cannot find any reference to this word it in Italian disctionaries/translation websites etc and similarly the English definition of 'what' does not include any word similar to this.
Can anyone help?
Also, he says that 'qualche' can be used for the word 'what'. However, I've learned that qualche means 'some' and cannot in any dictionary find a reference to it as being anything else.
Grazie!
Zara
