How do you say Italian girlfriends in Italian?
Depends on how close you are there are ‘levels’ of girlfriend in the Italian language… if you’re just courting and young your g/f is your ‘ragazza’ so you say ‘Ragazza italiana’ to say you have an italian g/f. The word ‘ragazza’ means ‘young girl’ but is understood as meaning g/f. If you’re engaged then you are each other’s ‘fidanzato/a’ so an italian fiance is your ‘fidanzata italiana’. There is also a 3rd term which is a bit old fashioned – it is ‘morosa’ which is short for ‘amorosa’ which means lovable…. so your italian g/f would be your ‘lovable one’ and you would say that you have a Morosa Italiana.
