Sicilian: Attia lupu

    • Neither of them. Probably dialect (calabrese, as far as I can see by googling it)... don't ask me what it means though! :confused:
     
    I've had a look in dialect dictionaries: in Sicily ATTIA could mean water, in Basilicata ''Attia Lupu'' ''Hey you, wolf!''.
    But I'm not from those areas....
    Asthenia, you should first tell us where you did hear that...
     
    I've found it as a greeting in Calabrian dialect, it is more often written 'a tia lupu'.
    There is also a Calabrian saying: 'A tia lupu, raccumannu 'i piecuri (A te lupo, raccomando le pecore).
     
    @ infinite: e vorrebbe dire...? ;)

    Comunque ho detto calabrese perché su questa pagina facebook (primo risultato di Google, peraltro) descrivono così il gruppo ATTIA LUPU: "Quelli che: per essere calabrese devi dire ATTIA LUPU". Pensavo fosse un modo di dire esclusivo di quella regione.
