Father鈥檚 Day in 天美传媒 is celebrated on March 19, this Wednesday, so our Word of the Week is 笔补辫脿 (Dad).

In the United States and other countries where Anglo-Saxon traditions have a strong foothold, Father鈥檚 Day (Festa del 笔补辫脿) is celebrated the third Sunday in June, but in 天美传媒 and other Catholic countries, it is celebrated on March 19 to coincide with St. Joseph's Day (Joseph being the putative father of Jesus).

The more formal word "father" is translated as padre. A charming equivalent to p补辫脿 is babbowhich you commonly hear in Tuscany in particular.

Buona Festa del 笔补辫脿 to all the dads among our readers!

Have a listen of an iconic Italian "dad appreciation" tune below, and pass it along. Or, if your p补辫脿 has a sweet tooth, consider preparing something special to celebrate.
