There is another thread here that seeks to find some translations from Italian (or Sicilian) to English. I think there are enough in Italian (or Sicilian) quotes in all three films to make a game of it. The rules are .. a quote is posted, you answer who said it, to whom and add something about the context. Phonetic spelling is fine.

Examples:

"Va fan gool you!" Connie to Carlo before he beats her up.

"Tua fmiglia sta posto...sta posto" Tom Hagen to Frank Pentangeli's brother at the conclusion of the hearing.

Great idea Don T !

I see no quote, so I guess I should start :


Q: "Mio padre se chiamo Antonio Andolini, e quisto e per ti!"

Vito to Ciccio

Prepara la machina.

Prepara la machina.

Michael to Calo in GF to get the car ready for him and Appolonia. Yes?

Benasi, Michael, Benasi

Young Vito to baby Michael

Me dispiace.

AH AH AH AH AH...................

This thread is very amusing!

A. Solozzo to Michael about his being hit by McCluskey.

Q. mi fra'

Can you give us a clue Don Tomasso?

Sure. Someone is telling someone else who Fredo is.

Okay then I guess it must be... Mike... but darnit I don't know who to! Off to ruminate some more...

Woohoo, got it Mike to his bodyguard (the guy on DBCH's avatar) when Fredo arrives with the briefcase full of money. Am I right?

- Che c'è?

(2 possible answers)

You are correct. I know Michael says Che succese? to Tom, but I dont lnow andy che c'e. A Hint??

Ah, tricky! I've just reviewed one of my answers and in fact that one's "che succese" (sp?) - but the one you mentioned, Tom to Mike, was correct, Mike does in fact say "che c'è"
Okay so when is the "che succese" one? I'll give you a hint, he's italian

Micheal said that to fabrizio not calo

Micheal says it to Don tommasino after he tells micheal its not safe and he must go to his villa

"E no mangia in Miami con Hyman Roth."

A. Frank Pentangeli to Michael

Q. "La fotografia piu tarde..."

Mama Corleone to the photographer at Connie's wedding?


Brutta notizia dall' America.

Close dontamasso it's actually Vito to the photographer just after he stops the photo being taken because Michael isn't there.

A. Don Tomassino to Michael

Q. "Tuo nome"

Don Tommasino to Michael, about Sonny's death.

Un bicchiere di scotch

(oops sorry SM, simultaneous posts! I don't know yours...)

A. "tuo nome" is "you name?" spoken by the translator at customs to Vito Andolini. Before the boy can answer the other guy names him "Vito Corleone."

A. "bicchiere di Scotch" is Bruno tattaglia to Luca.


Q. "ma questa due...."

and two answer this one it was Mama Corleone to Tom Hagen

"Tu sei molto gentile."

Young Vito talking to the fruit seller who gives him oranges for free.

"invece di guadagnare un esposo"

Michael's bodyguard translating for Michael who is saying "instead of your daughter gaining a husband" to Appollonia's father.


"Ahhh l'oglio virgine..."

i dont think this is right so im not gonna post a new quote until it gets verified but was it Young Tommasino to Don ciccio

Well... what's your answer gonna be, DonT?

Actually I misquoted.... it is "Ahh Oglio d' Olive, Vergine." It is said by Don Altobello to the assassin.

New quote:

"E pulito"
