Not only does Friûl suffer from a heat wave (une ondade di cjalt) and a wave of robberies (une ondade di robariis), but it would also appear to suffer from a wave of knife attacks (une ondade di scurtissaments). Following is a story of yet another knife attack, in Udin.
A man of twenty-six years of age (un om di vincjesîs agns) was slashed (al è stât scurtissât). During a violent altercation (dilunc di une barufe violente), two days ago (doi dîs indaûr), at about seven-thirty in the evening (tor des siet e mieze di sere), a man of Tunisian origin (un om di origjin tunisine) was injured (al è restât ferît) due to a slash wound (par vie di une scurtissade) on his ear and on his right arm (te orele e tal braç dret). The attacker fled immediately (l’agressôr al è scjampât daurman), before law enforcement arrived (prime che a rivassin lis fuarcis dal ordin). At the scene (sul puest) carabinîrs and paramedics treated the Tunisian (i carabinîrs e i sanitaris a àn curât il tunisin), who was then taken to hospital (che al è stât daspò puartât in ospedâl). / Riferiment: La Vôs dai Furlans.
What are some things that may be said in Friulian in such a situation? Ancjemò un scurtissament, clame i carabinîrs! (Another knife attack, call the carabinîrs!); Bute jù il curtìs! (Throw down the knife!); Sù lis mans! (Put your hands up!); Sta lontan di me! (Stay away from me!); O soi stât scurtissât! (I’ve been slashed!); Mi à scurtissât te orele! (He has slashed my ear!); Judaitmi! (Help me!); O piert sanc dal braç! (I’m losing blood from my arm!); O ài trê scurtissadis tal braç! (I have three slash wounds on my arm!); Ma al è un tai di nuie, nol sangana nancje! (But it’s such a little cut, it’s not even bleeding!); Ma ce bagn di sanc! (What a bloodbath!); Il scurtissadôr al è scjampât vie (The knifer has taken off); O ài viodût il tai e mi è vignût fastidi (I saw the cut and I felt faint).
