Neapolitan wiki has been such a great resource, especially when it'll have comparisons between Neapolitan and standard Italian, but there are instance like this where it shows the differences between DIALECTS of Neapolitan and it feels so daunting 😂 especially when the same word can be spelled/written fourteen million different ways depending on where the person is from LOL
(also it makes me sad that it isn't taught in schools 🥹🥹 which i understand is probably hard because there's no 'standard Neapolitan' but conservation of the culture >>>> over anything else at this point)
I'm also going to sit here and complain about having to learn about the different grammatical features now 😂 the verbal conjugation in Nap vs Italian vs English is sending me (like I can't even wrap my head around it until I break down all of the parts of speech lmao)
La "cemmeraglia" è proprio quello che pensavi! È un piccolo disco di ferro con la faccia di un santo incisa sopra (per questo hai letto "dischiello", ma possono essere anche di più) che si appende al rosario/"curona".
E poi mi hai fatto scoprire un mondo con quel link! Non sapevo esistesse wikipedia nel mio dialetto,,, andrò a leggere qualche cosa appena ho più tempo.
