Vola da Londra a Milano per una pizza più economica

Man flies from London to Milan to get cheaper pizza

Callum Ryan è un ragazzo inglese di 22 anni, famoso su Tiktok.

qualche giorno fa, ha fatto un esperimento: ha preso un aereo da Londra a Milano solo per mangiare una pizza.

perché? L’obiettivo di Callum era spendere meno di 19,99 sterline, cioè il costo di una pizza media da Domino’s a Londra.

così, Callum ha trovato un biglietto aereo last-minute da Londra a Milano: prezzo 8 sterline! 

dopo che è arrivato a Milano, ha chiesto ai suoi follower dove mangiare la migliore pizza in zona. Ha ordinato una margherita e ha speso 11,50 euro.

quindi, esperimento riuscito: in totale Callum ha speso circa 18 sterline per il volo e la pizza. Meno delle 19,99 sterline di una pizza da Domino’s. incredibile!

ma, c’è un “ma”: nel suo esperimento, Callum non ha comprato il volo di ritorno…

Grammar

Comparativi = “più/meno di”
Comparatives = “more/less than”

“L’obiettivo di Callum era spendere meno di 19,99 sterline”
(Callum’s goal was to spend less than £19.99)

“Meno di” and “più di” are Italian prepositional phrases that translate to “less than” and “more than” in English, respectively. They are used to compare quantities, amounts, or values of two or more things, indicating that one thing has a smaller or larger amount than the other.

The phrase “meno di” indicates that Callum’s goal was to spend less than 19.99 pounds. Another example of using “meno di” in a sentence is “Il mio gatto pesa meno di cinque chili” (My cat weighs less than five kilograms).

Similarly, “più di” is used to compare two or more amounts where one is greater than the other. For example, “Questo libro costa più di quello” (This book costs more than that one).

Translation

Callum Ryan is a 22-year-old English guy famous on TikTok.

A few days ago, he conducted an experiment: he took a flight from London to Milan just to eat a pizza.

Why? Callum’s goal was to spend less than £19.99, the cost of a medium Domino’s pizza in London.

So, Callum found a last-minute plane ticket from London to Milan for only £8!

After arriving in Milan, he asked his followers where to eat the best pizza in the area. He ordered a margherita and spent €11.50.

So, the experiment was a success: in total, Callum spent about £18 for the flight and pizza, which is less than the £19.99 cost of a Domino’s pizza. Incredible!

But there is a “but”: in his experiment, Callum did not buy a return flight…
