If yes, can you name any Florence dialect besides "Hoca Hola " ?

What are the difference between Standard Italian and Florence dialect ?

Grazie mille

  1. yeah it s dialect,well there are not big differences they simply most of the time cut words  or use the letter "H" instead of "C", u have to know that basically in italian the letter H it s most of the time a mute letter or it's turned into "K".  we say or read "H" as u read and say "K" in the english language, i.e casa  which  means home it's pronounced "kasa" while in Touscany they pronounce it Hasa wich H similar to the english  word Heart .

    well an example  could be:"il mi babbo" , which in italian would be: il mio papa' or ... i don't know.. mi sun de Milan..

    which in  Milan dialect  means : i'm from Milan


  2. they say something like hoha hola because they don't prunance that kind of C

  3. It isn't a dialect...but it's a pronunciation...

  4. they say "h" istead "c", "th" instead "t" "sc" instead "c" and other letters are cleaner than rest of pronounces.

    we always say to a tuscan "say this sentence":

    coca cola con la cannuccia corta.

    they will say:

    hoha hola hon la hannuccia horta.

    try to ask to some tuscan =)

    tu dici così (you say so) they say: thu disci hosì

    differences are that they speak fast with this strange pronounce, so is sometimes hard to understand for an italian too. (i'm obiviously italian).

    they use old words, old forms, but it's very nice to listen to.

  5. yess..and it's so funny

  6. it s a legend

  7. They actually say "hoha hola". They don't pronounce the hard "C" sound.
