Today's Italian words:

Millenovecentoottantadue = 1982 (Matteo’s birth year)

Millenovecentoquarantasei = 1946 (women’s right to vote)

Mille = 1000

Duemila = 2000

Il duemilasei è stato un anno fantastico! = (the) 2006 was a fantastic year!

L’Italia è cambiata dopo il sessantotto = Italy changed after (the) ‘68

Negli anni Settanta = In the seventies

Negli anni Duemila = In the two thousands

Il governo Berlusconi è iniziato negli anni Novanta = The Berlusconi government started in the 90s

Di che anno sei? = “From what year are you from?” Sneaky way to ask someone’s age!
