Mini Dialogue

Cultural Note

Italian emotional support via text is characteristically physical in its vocabulary — 'un abbraccio' (a hug), 'ti stringo forte' (I hold you tight), 'ti voglio tanto bene' (I care about you so much). Italians tend not to keep emotional distance even in written messages. This directness is one of the qualities that non-Italians often find deeply moving about Italian friendships.
