Pronunciation

Stress 'RAC-con-ta-mi'. 'Andata' = an-DA-ta.

When to use it

Send this after a friend has had an important event (job interview, date, exam, appointment) and you want to hear how it went.

What it means

'Come รจ andata?' = how did it go? (literally 'how did it go?'). 'Raccontami' = tell me (informal imperative with 'mi' attached). This is a warm, engaged way to show interest in someone's life. 'Dimmi tutto' (tell me everything) is an enthusiastic variant.

Variations

'Allora?' = so? โ€” a classic Italian conversation opener.

Dimmi tutto!

Mini Dialogue

โ€” Come รจ andata? Raccontami! ๐Ÿ˜Š โ€” Benissimo! Mi hanno detto che mi contattano la settimana prossima. โ€” Ottimo! Sembrava tranquillo il colloquio? โ€” Sรฌ, molto. Mi sono sentita a mio agio.

Cultural Note

Italians deeply value staying updated on each other's lives ('tenersi aggiornati'). Asking 'come รจ andata?' after a known event is considered a social duty ('dovere sociale') in Italian friendships. Forgetting to ask about an important event a friend told you about is considered a sign of disinterest and can damage the friendship.
