Parole, Parole, Parole! Oggi parliamo della parola

Parole, Parole, Parole! Oggi parliamo della parola: ABBIOCCO.
Italians have a special word for the drowsy sensation you feel after eating a large meal and you struggle to keep your eyes open. It is Abbiocco.
"Dopo il pranzo di domenica dalla nonna mi è venuto un abbiocco e mi sono sdraiato sul divano."
"After Sunday dinner at Grandma's, I got really drowsy and laid down on the couch.”
++++++++++++++++++++
ATTENZIONE! Don't get Abbiocco and Albicocco mixed up. Although they look and sound kind of similar they are very different words.
Albicocco = Apricot Tree
Albicocca = Apricot
