dormire come un ghiro
Today’s Parola del Giorno is the verb phrase, dormire come un ghiro, which means to sleep like a log. Un ghiro is a dormouse, an animal that spends a majority of its time sleeping, sometimes six months or more! See the expression used below in its context:
Rumori? Luce provenienti da altre stanze? Brutto tempo? Non importa perché dormo sempre come un ghiro! Quando la testa si poggia sul cuscino mi addormento subito!
Noises? Light coming from other rooms? Bad weather? It doesn’t matter because I always sleep like a log! When my head hits the pillow, I fall asleep right away!
