Ok, it made me laugh quite loudly that pinguino may also mean chocolate ice cream. Has this ever confused Italian people? :)
"Pinguino" o "Mottarello" is vanilla ice cream covered with chocolate and served with a stick to hold it.
Here are a few images of this ice cream: http://goo.gl/Fdb2CQ
Well I guess it's like Americans (or whoever else does this) calling an ice cream flavor "moose tracks".
Well, the image now convinces me that this specific "gelato" looks like a pinguino" being it is black and white and cold. :D
I don't understand why fish has to be in the singular...'pesce' not 'pesci'. Why not a choice
That's a great chart to help know all the articles! Thank you!! Rae.F. Are you working on all those different languages? Wow!

You're welcome.
And not at the same time. I bounce around, although right now I'm focusing on Spanish. Some of them I tried and then haven't gone back to (you can tell because the numbers are so low).
That is amazing how you can keep all those languages in your head and not get them mixed up! I can barely remember what I need to for Italian. The languages derived from Latin are similar in many ways too making them easy to confuse, for me at least!! Kudos to you!!

Oh, if I go from one Romance language to another, I will get a bit of interference. It takes a little while focusing on one language to shake the confusion.
