Arrotare: To be run over.
Example: ‘Manca poco questo bischero m’arrota! E guarda i’ telefonino invece della strada!’ (‘That idiot was about to run me over! He’s looking at his cell phone instead of the road!’)
Dare di barta: To go crazy.
Example: ‘Poeri noi, i’ caldo gli fa dare di barta, un ragiona più!’ (‘Poor us! The heat makes him go crazy. He makes no sense!’)
Apparecchio: My nonna used this word to refer to an airplane. It is usually used for machines or other technical instruments.
Example: ‘Nanni a che ora tú pigli l’apparecchio domattina?’ (‘Little one, what time are you getting the plane tomorrow morning?’)
