A1 Expression ニュートラル

buon anno

happy new year

意味

Celebration.

🌍

文化的背景

The 'Cenone di San Silvestro' is the massive dinner held on New Year's Eve. It almost always includes lentils and cotechino sausage. In the past, people threw old objects out of windows to symbolize getting rid of the old year's negativity. Wearing red underwear on New Year's Eve is a must for many Italians to ensure the 'buon anno' is lucky. The Pope gives a special blessing and 'buon anno' to the crowds in St. Peter's Square on January 1st.

💡

The 'Altrettanto' Trick

If someone says 'Buon anno' to you and you're too nervous to say it back, just say 'Altrettanto!' (Same to you!). It's perfectly native.

⚠️

Double N is Key

Be careful with 'anno' (year). If you pronounce it with one 'n' ('ano'), it means 'anus'. Always double that 'n'!
