dare la parola

to give one's word

معنی

To make a promise.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'parola data' is often considered more binding than a written contract in small-town social circles. Historically, 'la parola' was tied to the concept of 'onore' (honor). Breaking it could lead to long-standing family feuds. The phrase 'Chiedo la parola' (I ask for the floor) is the official way for a deputy to request to speak. Even in modern Milanese business, a 'parola' given over coffee can be the start of a multi-million euro deal.

🎯

Use 'mia'

Always add 'mia' (my) when promising. 'Ti do la mia parola' sounds 100% more native than 'Ti do la parola'.

⚠️

Don't over-promise

Italians take 'la parola data' seriously. Don't use it if you aren't sure you can deliver.
