[What stuff old! Not know not-even how-many of those pictures have already seen.] - Del Piero: I don't like social networks. It's better to go on Youtube, there one always finds a nice video.
[To me not please the social networks. Better go on Youtube, there one finds always some nice video.] - Melo: Do you have one?
[Of-them have one?] - Del Piero: Yes, this one. These are all the goals of David in Spain.

- cos'è = cosa è.
- "mi piace" is the way to say "I like". It means literally "it pleases me". There is no verb "to like".
- "mi piace la canzone" ~ "I like the song", "mi piacciono le canzoni" ~ "I like the songs".
- "bel filmato" = "filmato bello". The word "bello" has a very wide meaning and only sometimes means "beautiful". For the most part it means "nice" or "good": "bel lavoro" ~ "good work", "bel film" ~ "good movie".
- "ne" refers to something which has already been mentioned before: "di soldi ne ho tanti" ~ "of money of-them I have many". "Quanti anni hai? Ne ho venti." ~ "How old are you? I am twenty." [How-many years have? Of-them have twenty.]
- "già", aside from its principal meaning "already", is used as a way to respond in agreement: "È tardi." "Già." ~ "It's late." "Yeah."
A plural is the many of something: houses, as opposed to just one: house (which is called singular).
We have seen many examples of plurals:

- i social network ~ the social networks
- i gol ~ the goals
- Feminine: le immagini, from: l'immagine ~ the picture
- Masculine: i gol, from: il gol ~ the goal
- Masculine: gli scudetti, from: lo scudetto ~ the shield
