The phrase is almost always accompanied by the 'hand purse' gesture (fingertips together, hand moving up and down). In the South, the phrase might be drawn out for emphasis: 'Nooon è possiiibile!' to show even greater drama. Commentators use this phrase constantly during matches to describe incredible goals or terrible mistakes. It is a key phrase in 'Commedia all'italiana' to highlight the frustrations of the common man against bureaucracy.
The Intonation Trick
Rise the pitch on 'pos-' and drop it on '-sibile' to sound like a native.
