Great news someone is investing in this recession-stricken country of ours.
It would be worth noting that "capiche", "capisce" and variations of it are not an Italian expression. Also, I'm guessing "ora che cosa?" is a direct translation of "what now?" and would be better put as "E adesso?".
- stefantalpalaru 12y ago> not an Italian expression It is. It's just a misspelling of "capisci" - second-person singular form of the verb "capire"[1] (to understand).

- riquito 12y agoMispellings doesn't count as valid expressions. "capiche" or "capisce" when you meant "capito?", "hai capito?" or "capisci?" are obviously wrong to anyone you talk to (in Italy).
- camillomiller 12y agoThat's not italian, that's mafian-american. Unfortunately, that's the epitome of a blog post that's cringeworthy for anyone who's vaguely familiar with italian culture, let alone Italians themselves. How much time would have taken to reach out for a real Italian to write and/or check this post before publishing?
- Sephiroth87 12y agoHow many time do you actually say "capisci" to someone though? Personally close to 0, definitely less than you hear "capish" or any other crap around...
- davidw 12y ago"Gheto capio?" is what I hear most around here:-)
- zeitg3ist 12y agoLooks like they removed the "capiche" from the page and corrected the other thing to "e adesso?".
