Horse girl 88 sometimes i call my grandma nonna maria lol

nicole ♥ omg, my nonna was nonna Maria too!

OMGGG THATD SAME IN COLOMBIANNNN💕🤣

Horse girl 88 yup. It’s supposed to be Nonna for sure. But hey it was still funny 😂

i call my grandfather nonno is that jus me

😂😂😂😂 so relatable. I am italian, and one time my nonna cooked cullurialli (which is like potato dough fried) and I refused to eat some because I was on diet. She didn't talk to me for 2 days. She was right tho! Can't wait to be the perfect italian grandma and stuff my grandchildren with food 😍

She is right😂 u can't say to your grandma your not hungry

@@chiarag8672 i told one day "I'm on a diet I won't eat much" and she just started to laugh at me😑😂😂😂😂😂

I have never related to anything more in my life. If you ate less than three plates of food you were "starving yourself."

@@CrankyBee lol true

But...the bread is the best part!

But it's NONNA

Oh no! Never without bread, it's like you're not eating at all! 😂😂😂😂

Ok boomer

It does now. For the tourists. They finally gave in. Sad, but true. Thought I'd never see the day.

Chicken parmigiana isn’t that good and I’m not Italian sorry

ik thats a very italian american dish, but it doesnt originate in italy... but italian grandmas make it in the us

Amelia Velleca - finally someone said it

ti rispondo in italiano anche se so l'inglese, ma non sono un marchettaro-anglofono e quindi parlo orgogliosamente nella mia lingua, sperando che tu mi possa comprendere, se davvero sei italiana come fai intendere. Ti dico la verità: la parmigiana è uno dei miei piatti preferiti ed anche in Italia , in base a regione a regione ,ognuno applica delle cambiamenti-variazioni alla ricetta originale. Alcuni ad esempio mettono il prosciutto, altri le uova, c'è chi le melanzane le fa bollire al posto che friggerle. Ora ti dico la verità, non avevo mai sentito dire prime di 'sto video della ''chicken parmigiana'', però ti dirò, l'accostamento del pollo alla parmigiana non mi pare così blasfemo, anzi, mi invoglia quasi a provarla. Ripeto, rispetto ad altri stravolgimenti che fanno gli americani alle nostre ricette nazionali ( vedi pizza hawaiana con ananas) questa della parmigiana col pollo mi pare tutto sommato la meno blasfema. Cheers from Italy

So you do have some connection to italian mafia?

@@johnjonson2738 lmao I do, I'm related to Al Capone 😂 Idk how tho

John Jonson 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Emily Love my great grandpa worked with Capone

Sì, adoro le altre persone che dicono cose positive sull'Italia Sono italiano-americano ma preferisco parlare italiano

Yay I’m Italian but I’m not fluent yet

Awww love u too🥺...Italy is the best! ❤🇮🇹

😂

Exactly! It’s not an Italian dish 😂

Yess same with spaghetti like sometimes we would make it but it’s NOT and Italian dish

alessandra idk well I’m not even American I’m a Canadian Italian we make spaghetti but different dialects(places on italy) make different things so I’m not rlly sure😂but what dialect are you I am from barri also you know I am actually Italian cuz of my name too

Cuz spaghetti was more of a American Italian Dish made up

Then Yu eat seventeen more bites....

Every Italian grandma ever

"But I've made so much food. You haven't eaten anything yet. Don't you like it?"

That’s my German grandma lol

Same

Kierra McKennedy Glad you agree :)

***** I'm starting to feel like part of the furniture at BuzzFeed :)

Jasmin Anderson Oh, don't be sorry, it was a very interesting read indeed. There are lots of advantages of coming from such a mixture of cultures I feel, and even in the genes too :) Thanks for sharing as I'm always interested in learning about other cultures :)

that's not just for Italian-Americans

Pst I thought everyone did that

+pixymae That's everyone...

OHMG YESSSS

Yes omg

Bagel holy crap my grandma and her sass laugh are hilarious.

* Nonna

NONNA!!!

And the smoking

And they forgot when Nonna pulls out the wooden spoon when you miss behave

No, se sei del sud no.

RHH04 that’s because we are very different. North and south Italians are like day and night. We are very different in every way but it’s not a bad thing... it’s just that yeah, we are very different

@@hightide4782 Because suffer from a complex of inferiority

@@sniperelite647 WHAT?

South is better change my mind

Pedro Santana what?

My cousin couldn't pronounce nonna so we call our nonna nanna. ☺

Pedro Santana hahahhah

Name Name it's funny cuz nanna means sleeping in italian ahaha

Nana

That's my dad XD

Shaylen Roell that's every grandma 😂

I think thats just a grandma thing, both of mine mine are like that and Im Norwegian

Shaylen Roell Well italians call their grandma nona soo ha caught uuu

Shaylen Roell sane my Italian grandma does that too

I am not Italian but I always knocks over the bottle all the time while talking. Lol.

Same girl, I’m from Argentina (AKA 50% Italian ancestors)

@edgarjx1 nope, sadly our history hasn't been so kind to Native Americans OR Black people, but we've always been a place where people from Europe (Italians, Spanish, French, etc) and from other Latin America countries immigrate to. Even though there are more natives in what we call "the interior" of the country (not the capital, more in the north), most of us have white ancestors. We're still latinos though

Italian American here, and I do that all the time

I love in Italy Parlo l'italiano e parlo molto il dialetto

Abuelitas? You means Nonnas? xD I'm kidding. Yes we would.

Credo di sì!

Italians are Latinos. They are Latin Europeans, hence the similarities.

I have a best friend whos half Colombian and half italian so she's just like this

Somos latinos entonces hermanos!

suga AND YOU RELATE TO THIS

suga sono mezzo italiano😊

yeahhh

I'm both lol

Im only juan

Haahaha stomale

😂😂

:) haha

Dio mio aspettavo solo un commento come questo hahaha

HAHAHA

Maria Marcellino ik why was that in there?

@@lialove1751 yes, it was

La parmigiana va fatta esclusivamente con la melanzana. Fritta. Al forno, versione dietetica

Maria Marcellino it’s Italian American so it’s Italian to Americans

Ew

Yesssss!!😁

Ya, pretty much.

I miss my nonna :(

+Rizerr96 My grandmother's is a wooden spoon.. :'D

+Francesco Del Colombo Mine uses a wooden rolling pin XD

+Alexis Gallagher lol mine too !

Same, but not just my Grandma, everyone from Aunts and Uncles to Great grandparents, but my great grandma doesnt even know what she is talking about half the time

My Italian grandma would always pretend to cry when I didn't want to eat my Parmesan.

Navy Rosie I was thinking how people say I'm good for "I'm satisfied" & "no thank you".

Eve Kohley haha no... she just wants you to rave about it and be overjoyed with it and have your life changed by it and if you’re not effusive with the compliments... well then it must be disgusting. Lol #italianlogic

Navy Rosie so basically she wants an entire buzzfeed article's of swish about her dish. lovely!

I'm Italian and that's kinda the norm here. I actually feel offended when someone just say that it's "good" lol

volevosolocommentare now I line up a few things every time like: “Did you do something differently? It tastes so good this time!” and “this is way better than *insert cousin she’s mad at‘s name* sauce...” then add a conspiratorial eyeroll. lol

literally my grandma

n o n n a

My relatives are not distant. Both my parents are Sicilian and my grandparents and their parents and so on. I bet you ain't even a drop of Italian and you're just jealous of us.

@@oliviacancio6797 he's talking about people who are like .1% Italian or have great great great grandparents from Italy and are like "OMG SO ME" but their not even in touch with their roots. I know this I am Dominican, my parents born and raised their parents (well my dad's father is Portuguese) and when people are like "OMG my parent's grandparents are Hispanic" makes me uncomfortable because it doesn't really count.

7 rings stan being born somewhere different than your grandparents doesn’t magically change you’re ethnicity. Plus even if all their great grandparents came from Italy they’re still Italian genetically but yeah people who are only 1/4 Italian are annoying acting like they’re Italian and don’t even look Italian like they’re blond hair blue eyed named Mckaylyn and don’t even call their grandparents nonna and nonno

@@vinsoriano493 boh per me qualcuno che è nato in America rimane americano pure se c'ha i genitori di Palermo. Un ragazzo polacco o egiziano nato o cresciuto in Italia è molto più italiano di uno "italiano al 100%" nato a Los Angeles o nel cazzo di Texas.

Dudz lol I know and then you have the real ones how are like this is nonna because we all know you never say grandma

Only the good grandma’s worry.

Zach Thompson. No mattee the nationality,all. Grandmas are like that

Yeah it definetly does

È veroooooo anche io

Same tbh, I don't know why it's common to make that stereotype smh it's like calling all of us criminals.

I'm half Italian btw

me too, I live in Italy

to be fair my grandfather was heavily involved. so i want to be offended but i can’t 😂

@Marcelo Firpo you are not supposed to tell hahah

Nah man Italians eat more

Jadon Kind Maybe they eat more, but they also eat healthier.

***** America has a way higher fat rate than Italy.

Yeah but American culture has this huge shame in eating. Italian moms practically force you to eat more.

AfroDollBabe If it is such a shame why do they do it?

Shane Williams I know. So sweet lol

Play-Doh My fiance is italian. His family was somthinf i had to get used to. they are all very kind but so loud and huggy! His mum used to comment on how i was so thin and i needed to eat more! so did his grandmother!

Im not italian, but i can relate.

I'm slightly over weight and my nona is always like no! You're too skinny! Eat more! My food is better than that merda they call Italian, unless you hate my food? Do you hate me? MANGIA

Prince Twiggles Oh, that must be irritating.

Trash Mangia*

Its poor mans carbonara.

@@matts1451 No, it has literally 0 ingredients in common with carbonara

@@kingnothing4347 when my mom carbonara she uses bacon or pancetta. however Alfredo like many other Italian-American foods are bastardized out of necessity. When the people came to this country from Italy that came after the risorgimento. The food and then became multi-regionaland people didn't have the money sometimes for things like chicken or even potatoes as many came here during the great depression or 15 to 20 years before. I grew up speaking English and the Neapolitan dialect I also have knowledge of some Sicilian and standard Tuscan. I love giambotta, escarole and beans, and prasciola. We eat stuff you wont find in a trattoria.

@@matts1451 You just named 4 dishes that doesn't exist here in Italy.

Yes! me and my family have been praying for ✝️🇮🇹 so I hope you and your family are safe ✝️🇮🇹. please read this maybe you guys over there will understand how we are NOT italian and how we ARE in a way. This is how we are americans ♥️🇺🇸. Many of us had to assimilate and love this country so we don't really care to speak Italian in our homes. We know pre industrial italian or bastardized versions. Our food has multi-regional elements from Sicily to Piemonte. You will see a family of half Lingurian, half abruzzese descent mixing food and passing it down. Carbs meet the demand for blue collar work today around 5. Sunday dinners usually start between 2 and 4 but that's usually the only day you really get to have family. Many of us are working class some of us are really successful. Many people hate us and think we are criminals. This is how we are♥️ 🇮🇹. we have much closer family's than most ethnicities we usually choose to live within close proximity to our grandparents and cousins and a similar ethicity sometimes follows in closeness to us, (French, greeks, Portuguese). Some of us have 3 generations in a house here in the north. Many of us trusts family before the authorities or the the church. Some of us believe in the evil eye stregheria, we believe in blending in and respecting the customs of where we are and to uphold them. We have made the choice in some areas to bring italian to schools with italian american populations to revive a sense of culture. This is how it was for my family and my journey in the self segregated north. We pray for Italy🇮🇹✝️🇮🇹 please be safe on lockdown🙏✝️. Dont get sick!

Very good taste, I love them too, maybe I could send you some?😂

@@paulomartins1856 but- why

I love Italian woman

I laughed too XD

god i didn't think it would get me but it got me

Was her tone or the pronunciation? 'Cause we actually pronounce Mafia that way in Italy ^_^

It was the whisper and the expression on her face that I found funny.

Same lol

Stupidt that is so true 😂

noo but when i am at my aunts beach house in sicily, we go to the beach almost everyday, and i take a shower and let my hair dry in the sun. my cousins there do it too, but we dont go out in public like that.

ヴオックス they made him an offer he couldn’t refuse

You mean nonnas?

La parmigiana di pollo 😨

Oh, how lucky! I'm Sicillian, but live in American. I have always wanted to live in Italy. Is it beautiful there?

i think it's because italian cousine had some transformation in american, this is a video about italian-americans, not just italians. italy is awesome

+Lola DeMarco Pros & Cons :D where do you live in America? I've always wanted to live abroad instead. XD

I love that! Can I give her love? Also I’d eat her food. If I know I was coming over to her house, I wouldn’t eat I’d wait and then eat her food. Because that sweat lady wants to show love with her food.

+Alejandro Scorsetti Aren't most Argentinians Italian descent anyways?

+1LIFEtoWIN Lol...I was thinking the same thing, plus look at his last name, very italiano.

+1LIFEtoWIN yes, because in time of immigration tons of Italians went to Argentina because they didn't like how Americans spoke English, and Argentinian ( Spanish ) is the closest to Italian

+Crystal Ruiz ^^ what I said up there

Falacias😤😤

Aw, I love those little stars!

I legit heard my nonna read the last part

You know, the sad thing is... Nonna's are a dying breed. The one thing we noticed was all the kids leave the small mountain towns and go to the cities to work. I mean that's great that women have a choice but no Nonnas are being trained in the way of the Nonna any more.

muriel il titolo del video titolo dice italian-american tu non sei americana cosa c'entri ?

really? bc im italian and i relate loads

+Sara Strawberry lo so, ma sono comunque cose che non fanno parte della nostra cultura/tradizione, ma sono stereotipi che ci vengono attributi ormai da sempre e che non sono veri...."se sei italiano urli, gesticoli, parli della mafia, mangi sempre pizza e lasagne"...

+murielboom grazie per esserti spiegata scusa se il mio commento è stato un pò antipatico ma a primo impatto quello che hai detto mi sembrava fuori luogo

true!

They dont know any country

A NOI fratello!

true,im italian and we are not like this tf

I depends what type of Italian family you come from and what region, I'm Italian and I have never related so much to something in my whole life

It depends.... I'm so pale that people ask me "Are you really italian?" "Dunno, do you want to see my birth certificate?"

I'm naturally dark so people often think I'm Mexican and eventually they will make an illegal immigrant joke to me then I have to tell them, the weird thing is I'm not sure how my name (Santino) is Mexican.

Crazytbonz Mexican? Oh, that's funny ahahahahah I've been asked if i'm swedesh or polish ahahahah

*****​ not all italians. There are italians from north and south. Usually from south they do get dark easily, their skin is different. Usually from north, as is colder, we have a paler skin so we just burn. This is a rough generalisation, I have friends from north that can get tan and friends from south that turn into a lobster

***** I just hate you. I just turn into a lobster (a pretty succulent one tho).... -.-

@@mayhemmike1789 ywnbaw

Ci credi davvero o?

Fredrick Jeffson ma che cosa ti inventi vecchio?

Italians are Caucasian

Italians only claimed Caucasian status to not be discriminated against back in the days of mass-immigration. They did this by saying that an Italian man discovered the United States.

Bri the Media Geek they where already white when they fuckin got here EUROPEAN= CAUCASIAN not rocket science people in this country are fuckin idiots yeah your right but at the same time they where already white

My father is 2/5 Italian and Serbian. (I took a DNA test.) If you don't eat, you might as well starve. So relatable.

Same with my family!! We’re serbian/croatian and my baba makes so much food every time we go to her house, everytime I say I’m full or I don’t want any she just goes “Oh!” With a confused look on her face 😂😂

My baba would always guilt trip us. Saying "I WIsh I HAd ThIS WhEn I waS YouR aGe".

I'm croatian too🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷

Yeah Italy's countryside and the Balkans share lots of similarieties, especially when it comes to mentality.

Liv Pana real italian are not in this way...u r american italian

Liliana Moscardi I know I'm Italian-American. That's why I watched the video... And related it to my family.

You were already subscribed to Buzzfeed?

@@siennaw8929 Not true. I say Nonna, and have all my life.

Italians have Middle Eastern ancestry due to the economic trades that occurred

most of these things apply to me and im latino XDD

pretty ignorant comment Italians are the original Latins. from the Latium specifically.

Probably because Italian have a latin culture too!!!

I tan a little bit then it turns into burns and freckles. XD

Remember though Italian Americans are more deeply rooted than say Italian Canadians, or Italian Australians. Go to some areas in New York, and the vibe is totally different.

Marginery Morales I'm African and I relate to this too.

Many Hispanic cultural traditions and such are very similar to Italians'! I find it so interesting.

@Dung Lee lol that sounds like something the grandma would say

@Dung Lee I'm good thanks, and the same to you!

Pharlasus what? Ahahhahahah I'm italian. Si lo sono

Maybe they just are. We are kinda 60 million people just in Italy... And what's wrong about having some Italian relatives and feeling the vibe? Rilassati stellì 😀

Just like the fascists claimed to be Italian and for the Italian people whilst they weren't.

ChefBoyardee I am truly Italian. Something fake Italians eat: pepperoni pizza, fettuccine Alfredo, etc. Us real deals eat: eggplant Parmesan (my fav), salami is our pepperoni, and Alfredo is not REAL I get real triggered.
