Uncle Joe
Hi... Ciaffone is a dialect word that means slap...
It's used in some part of northern Italy so maybe some Italians can't know it!! Sorry for my English but I hope that now everything is clear!!! Saluti dall'Italia :)


martox45
Pronounce it chahf- fòh-ne (stress on the "o" and double "f" sounds as in English 'affairs- the chah sounds as in English the cha of charter).
"Ciaffone" is an Italian slang term ,widespreaded in Italy, and it means slap (in the face). The corresponding word in standard Italian is "ceffone" or "schiaffo" -


Matteo Man
i'm tuscan and it seems from my region...
It means big slap

for the pronunciation let's try this

CIA= tcha like in "gotcha!"
FFO= fo from "foreign" but remember to pronunciate double F
NE= like the first part of "net" or "nest"


Viky æ¡‚çš®
Maybe you mean CEFFONE or SCHIAFFONE, they both mean "big slap". Never heard of something/someone called ciaffone.

maybe you meant "CEFFONE", it's a unformal way to say " backhanded slap". Or it could be (not very probable) a dialectal word...

[ dite che è dialetto? ma di dove?]

Ciaffone is a surname
but I believe that you say SCHIAFFONE(a big slap)


anicka9191
it is pronounced chi-af-fo-neh and it is nothern dialect for saying slap. usually you say ceffone (chef-fo-neh). it could theoretically be a surname, but i have never heard of it.

Serpico

bg b

EffieLovesLegrottaglie
