Italian names of fingers

HAND'S FINGERS:

The official names are: pollice = thumb indice = forefinger or index medio = middle finger anulare = ring finger mignolo = little finger or pinkie

We learn them easily since when we are kids (something that doesn't happen with foot's fingers). We also learn that "dito" = finger, is masculine at the singular but has a double plural: the masculine plural "diti" can be used only when we refer to one type of finger (eg. "i diti indici" = the index fingers) while when we consider all the fingers of the hand, we use the feminine plural "dita" (eg. "le dita della mano" = the fingers of the hand)

-

FOOT'S FINGERS:

The more official name list is the one originating from the Latin digiti pedis (basically the one used in English too):

primo dito = hallux (lat.: digitus primus or hallux) secondo dito = second toe (lat.: digitus secundus) terzo dito = third toe (lat.: digitus tertius) quarto dito = fourth toe (lat.: digitus quartus) quinto dito = fifth toe (lat.: digitus quintus or minimus pedis)

...with the generally accepted exceptions of alluce (also called pollicione or ditone or dito grosso del piede in informal context) for the first finger, and mignolo (or mignolino, again in informal context) for the fifth.

This said, online you can find another list (its names may vary a little tbh, but these are the most common ones):

alluce illice (or melluce) trillice pondolo mellino (or minolo)

This list doesn't seem to be accurate or scientific (source) but it was found since the early years of 2000's used in several occasions and even some non-traditional medicine books.

One of my favourite discussions during school lunch time used to be on the topic of vocabs.... especially the names of Vegetables and Fruits! Even though small cities weren't that diverse in terms of people from different states but it was pretty diverse in terms of regions and dialects from within the state and it's so interesting to know how manyyyyy words are there for the same thing that too in the same language!! We'd have so much fun getting surprised like, *says vegetable name* "What's that?" "You know *explains the shape and size and colour of the vegetable*??" "Ohmygod it's called that in your home??? *surprised* It's called this in my household!!!" And then it's a discourse about what's it's best recipe.

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.

if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

Again another multilingual vocabulary! This time all about numbers. Seen that Korean has two different counting ways (Sino-Korean and Korean -this latter works only to 99), I won't probably add Russian this time either (sorry Russian, but I can still easily count to 10 and I might add that in the comments). Let's start!

ENG - ITA - FRA - ESP - KOR

NUMBERS - (i) NUMERI - (les) NOMBRES - (los) NUMEROS - 민수기

0 - zero - zero - zéro - cero - 공 / 영 1 - one - uno - un - uno - 일 / 하나 2 - two - due - deux - dos - 이 / 둘 3 - three - tre - trois - tres - 삼 / 셋 4 - four - quattro - quatre - cuatro - 사 / 넷 5 - five - cinque - cinq - cinco - 오 / 다섯 6 - six - sei - six - seis - 육 / 여섯 7 - seven - sette - sept - siete - 칠 / 일곱 8 - eight - otto - huit - ocho - 팔 / 여덟 9 - nine - nove - neuf - nueve - 구 / 아홉 10 - ten - dieci - dix - diez - 십 / 열

11 - eleven - undici - onze - once - 십일 / 열하나 12 - twelve - dodici - douze - doce - 십이 / 열둘 13 - thirteen - tredici - treize - trece - 십삼 / 열셋 14 - fourteen - quattordici - quatorze - catorce - 십사 / 열넷 15 - fifteen - quindici - quinze - quince - 십오 / 열다섯 16 - sixteen - sedici - seize - dieciséis - 십육 / 열여섯 17 - seventeen - diciassette - dix-sept - diecisiete - 십칠 / 열일곱 18 - eighteen - diciotto - dix-huit - dieciocho - 십팔 / 열여덟 19 - nineteen - diciannove - dix-neuf - diecinueve - 십구 / 열아홉

20 - twenty - venti - vingt - veinte - 이십 / 스물 21 - twenty one - ventuno - vingt-et-un - veinteuno - 이십일 / 스물하나 22 - twenty two - ventidue - vingt-deux - veintedós - 이십이 / 스물둘

30 - thirty - trenta - trente - treinta - 삼십 / 서른 40 - forty - quaranta - quarante - cuarenta - 사십 / 마흔 50 - fifty - cinquanta - cinquante - cincuenta - 오십 / 쉰 60 - sixty - sessanta - soixante - sesenta - 육십 / 예순 70 - seventy - settanta - soixante-dix - setenta - 칠십 / 일흔 80 - eighty - ottanta - quatre-vingt - ochenta - 팔십 / 여든 90 - ninenty - novanta - quatre-vingt-dix - noventa - 구십 / 아흔

100 - hundred - cento - cent - cien - 백 1000 - thousand - mille - mille - mil - 천 10'000 - ten thousand - diecimila - dix-mille - diez mil - 만
