Describing a boyfriend in Italian:
“My boyfriend” can be il mio ragazzo [eel MEE-oh rah-GAHT-zoh] for a casual relationship, or il mio fidanzato [eel MEE-oh fee-dahn-ZAH-toh] for a more serious relationship.
This confuses a lot of people, because fidanzato seems very similar to the English fiancé, but fidanzato does not necessarily mean engaged to be married. It simply means being in love or in a serious relationship.
