Discover the book

Watch the preview and discover everything we’ll teach you about Italian swear words.

All Italian swear words

From the most common (c*zzo, str*nzo, m*rda) to the ones you only learn after years in Italy. Every swear word with its 6+ different meanings depending on context.

Real-life examples

Authentic conversations between Italian native speakers: understand how each word is actually used at home, at the bar, with friends, in films and songs.

Non-vulgar alternatives

For every swear word, the safe and elegant alternatives to express the same concept without offending anyone. You'll sound like a polite native speaker.

Context & nuances

The same word can be offensive or just filler depending on the sentence. We explain when it’s vulgar, when it’s ironic, when it’s friendly.
