Phrase: Un po' di...
English Translation: A little of...
You will probably not need this phrase too often because frankly the portions in Italian usually leave something to be desired. However, there is one occasion when this phrase might come in handy. I like my gelato. In fact, I like my gelato so much that I feel it important to learn vocabulary such that I can create the perfect gelato combination. The population of the world can be separated into two different, opposing camps. The first like creamy gelato flavors, the second like fruity gelato flavors. Hopefully you all already know that I like creamy flavors if you know me at all. Anyway, to create the perfect gelato combination, one needs to create the perfect ratios of flavors. Rarely is a 1:1:1 ratio appropriate. To this end it is important to have a phrase that can denote a small amount of something. For example, I enjoy pistachio flavor, but I want this to be roughly 23.34858483% of my total gelato serving. I observed some Italians ordering and with a little help from my good friend Joel I was ready for perfection.
