Yesterday, I was eavesdropping on a conversation in an Italian bar (as I like to do) and I overheard someone say something that made me smile, including a very useful little word that Italians use all the time: “casino”.
It may not mean what you think it does as it’s quite different in English and Italian.
Let’s start off the list in alphabetical order. The first one of our choice for today is. 6 – Whiskey Petes Casino. This is not the owner of the casinos name, but an owner of the gas station that was located on the land the casino was built on. A sort of nod to the past. 5 – Pink Taco Casino. This is part of a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, but pink taco is also something rather rude and I am sure you might guess what it is. The Casino family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1871 and 1920. The most Casino families were found in the USA in 1920. In 1880 there were 15 Casino families living in Michigan. This was about 45% of all the recorded Casino's in the USA. Michigan had the highest population of Casino families in 1880.

Transcript
Please note, this is not a word for word transcript.
Katie: Ciao a tutti e benvenuti a 5 Minute Italian. I’m Katie
Matteo: And I’m Matteo, ciao!
K: Yesterday morning, I was drinking my usual morning caffè in the bar around the corner, when I overheard an Italian say something that was not only interesting and funny, but also had some mini Italian lessons in it.
M: The sentence was: ll governo ci costa un sacco di soldi. E fa sempre casini.
K: Let’s listen to the sentence again nice and slowly and see how much you can get from it:
M: ll governo ci costa un sacco di soldi. E fa sempre casini.
K: So the guy I was eavesdropping on was complaining about the government, and he said: “The government costs us loads of money. And they’re always making a mess”.
Literally:
Cassino With A Musical Name
M:
il governo = the government
ci = us
costa = costs
un sacco di = loads of
soldi = money
e = and
fa = makes
sempre = always
casini = messes
K: So there are a few interesting things in this sentence that we’ll come back to, but first I wanted to talk about the word “casino” which is a word that you’ll hear all the time in Italian and has a rather interesting history. When you hear the word “casino”, you might think of the English word “casino”. And they are related, but they’re not exactly the same.
M: In modern Italian, “casino” is a slang word for “mess”. It’s important to notice that the pronunciation is different too. In Italian, we say casino, which is pronounced as z.
Here are some examples:
Ho fatto un casino = I made a mess
Or
Non fare casini = don’t make a mess
K: Sometimes you’ll hear it in the singular “casino”, or the plural “casini”, like the guy in the bar. So what’s the relationship to the English “casino”, where people play blackjack? Well once upon a time, a casino was the name for gentlemens club, where men used to go and play cards. Overtime, probably because of the other things they got up to in gentlemen’s clubs, the word casino took on the meaning of “brothel”. And for a long time in Italy, until quite recently, “casino” was considered a swear word or curse word.
M: Nowadays, it’s not a curse word any more. It’s more just like slang and Italians use it all the time in informal situations.
K: You can say:
Che casino = what a mess.
Or you can use it with the word “fare” which means to make and say
Fare casino/casini = make a mess
And the meaning is actually broader than “mess” in English. You could also use it when someone is making lots of noise, or when they cause trouble.
So the next question: how do Italians say “casino” in the sense of the place you can go to play cards and bet money?
M: They say “casinò”, with the stress on the last ò. So to say “a mess”, you say “casino” and for the place where you play cards, you say “casinò”.
K: To finish off, let’s just look quickly at another couple of interesting things in the phrase I overheard. We had:
M: Il governo ci costa un sacco di soldi.
Las Vegas Casino With A Musical Name
K: Ci costa is interesting, because “ci” means “us” and “costa” means “costs”. So we see here how Italians literally say “us, it costs”. You can find out more about this by going to episode 61.
M: Next, we have this lovely phrase “un sacco di”. It’s another example of Italian slang, that Italians use all the time.
K: It literally means: “a sack of”, but Italians use it to mean “loads”. For example:
M:
Las Vegas Casino With A Musical Name
Un sacco di soldi = loads of money
Un sacco di rumore = loads of noise
Un sacco di cose = loads of things
