having a hard time understanding it. i am sure it is quite funny

I have trouble too in fact. I guess it means that the "compare" should forget the aristocrats from the castle and mix with people of the same social class as him. It's really a saying indeed and not a joke. But said in a Sicilian dialect it has a funny ring to it.

not very familiar with the dialect

Dialects suck.....they are so abundant in Sweden and some people don't understand each other

 

[Kaiser Franco]

There are a few Albanian enclaves in Sicily though.

Dialects rule : they are a testament to the richness of a country's linguistic heritage.

true in a certain point of view, but they are confusing

funny how even a small country like lithuania has 5-6 different dialects.

Lithuanian belongs to that atypical finno-ugric family of languages, right?

Yeah I realize it's a bit awkward to say that. In fact it comes from that Oscar-winning movie called "Mediterraneo" where this Turkish opium dealer arrives on a Greek island occupied by the Italians during WW 2. He shouts : "Italiani, Turchi : una faccia, una razza". Then he makes them smoke opium and steals their weapons, money and food while they are asleep.

edit. ok, not "we", "our language" actually

No Finno-ugric is a pretty weird family. Finnish and Hungarian belong to it despite being hundreds of miles apart and they form a separate category from Indo-European languages. So maybe it's the Estonians who fall into the same category.

Nope, Italian. Produced by Salvadores. it won the Oscar for best foreign movie in 1992 or something. I can definitely recommend it.
