Today’s words and phrases:

un tramezzino (m) – “a sandwich”
un panino (m) - “a sandwich” (more common word for sandwich)
un’insalata (f) - ”a salad”
il prosciutto (m) - “(the) ham”
il formaggio (m) - “(the) cheese”
il pollo (m) - “(the) chicken”
il pesce (m) - “(the) fish”

Each of today’s words are given with the appropriate word for “a” or “the”, and we’ve listed if words are masculine (m) or feminine (f). It’s always useful to learn whether words are masculine or feminine when you learn new vocabulary.
