Apulia



Are you Apulian if:
  • you go to dinner out not before of ten in the evening,
  • your friends and relatives they come directly at your home for making you the wishes for the christian recurrence of Palm trees,
  • at the bar, they ask you if you want smooth or sparkling water before to prepare you the coffee,
  • at the cinema, you applaud at the end of the screening if you liked the film,
  • you greet the bus driver when you get on and off,
  • you use the distant past instead of the near past to describe something that happened only a few hours before,
  • you put the verb at the end of the sentence,
  • you call "car's silos" the multi-storey garage, "outside to the masonry" the ring road, and "coplanar" the service road parallel to the main road,
  • you call "motor" the scooter, and "paper" the papery document,
  • when you were a child and annoying, and when your mother was busy, she sent you to some relative in the immediate vicinity to say him "said mom, you can give me the restrain?" (that is, you can entertain me, you can take care of me?), and you thought that the "restrain" was a kitchen utensil,
  • you call "costume" the dress for ceremonies,
  • you use the word "still" not to indicate the repeated (desired or observed) occurrence of an event, but to indicate the high probability that an event may occur shortly.
