It is not Mika's way to say "daje".

In the first episode of X Factor italian judges were using this word and (if I recall correctly) Emma explained Mika, that they write it DAGE and it's a sort od slang. I can't find this moment to post here.

Anyway they use some "game slang" as well like GG (good game). So DAGE is DAGE 

Sorry, I'm Italian and "dage" does not exist

From what I understand it is actually Mika's way to say "daje" and Emma explained to him that it's written with the letter "J" ( at least this is what I got )

Yes, I figured out that when he said "dage" he meant "daje" , and this is the dialect for "dai", right?

Yes, that's it! It means "come on! / Let's go!" in roman dialect

What does this "dage" mean?

I guess it's similar to "daje" : https://whichwaytorome.com/2012/02/23/word-of-the-day-daje/

Actually "dage" is Mika's way to read "daje", it means nothing in Italian

OK, @Siri Let's see if I can answer your question. Take a look at the screenshot below.

 

 

 

If you click on "Mark Site Read" in the upper right corner in my blue circle, then yes, you will mark the entire site as READ.

 

If you click on "Mark Forum Read" in the middle of the page in my red circle, you will only mark all the threads in that section (called a forum) as read. (In the case of this example, the forum is "Mika News and Press."

 

When you visit a thread (also called a topic), its title in the forum listing goes from bold to a lighter font to indicate that you have read in it.

 

If it's a fairly short thread, the system will assume that you've read the whole thing. But if it's longer, the system places a marker next to the thread in the forum listing, my green circle on the left side of the page.  If you click on one of those markers, you will be taken to where you left off reading in the thread.

 

Finally, if you look at the top right of the my image again, you'll see my purple circle. If you click on that, you will get a list of all the content (posts, etc.) that you haven't read. You can select the types of content you would like to see here.

 

I don't see any way for you to specifically mark an individual topic (thread) as entirely read.

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the recap! I used to mark topic such as the games one as read so that when I click on the unread content I immediately get what I've not read. Well, now I will never know again which old topics I have not read I guess (as I clicked on the wrong button)  
Thanks for the hard work with this update anyway

Not really update related, even if....

What if I clicked on "mark site as read" intead as "mark topic as read" ? I can't seem to find the second one now and I didn't want to mark everything as read, I won't understand a single thing now

Did someone receive a voucher from Ticketone? I've sent my request about 9 days ago and haven't got the answer yet.

Nope, apparently they have plenty of requests so it will take longer than you'd normally expect

Maybe TicketOne is waiting for government decisions?

If you are waiting for them to email you I don't know if you'll ever receive your voucher. You have to go on their site and do the request yourself

https://ticketone.formlets.com/rimborsionline/

Anyway the government is discussing about the possibility to have your money back if you won't be able to use your vouchers in 18 months, but no official decisions yet

 Lol, I'd love to see Mika feat. Remy - they're making all those life-action versions of Disney cartoon movies now - how about Mika as Linguini?

That would also explain those peculiar dance moves

"Oh, no! Not X Factor!!!! I don't want him to do it again!"

Sorry to sound annoying again but everybody is free to express their opinion if it has no offence in it. You are supposed to express short thoughts on twitter (ok, you can now write more than before, but it was created this way). 
Example: I personally don't like xf Italy, because I find that participants are very arrogant (of course not everybody is arrogant, but I can't stand those who are) and maybe there are other reasons too, but this is the main one and the first that come to my mind if you ask me. So I can easily write "oh no, please Mika, don't do xf again!"
At the same time I understand very well that, as he always said, he has to earn money in order to be free to set up his own shows the way he conceived them. So I can understand why he could do xf again and how can you blame him? If there is no possibility to start touring again, it would be stupid not to accept this job in a period when you can do nothing but wait. 
This said I can't write an essay every time I want to express a feeling on my twitter account! I saw many ppl saying that they don't like xf but are ok if he does it again, it's his choice afterall. 
I saw no drama so far, so where's the problem on expressing one's opinion?

And it’s a very good reason to start learning Italian 😉 (I know that they will be subtitled here at MFC by the subtitling teams, but it never hurts to have an extra motivation to learn something new!)

I'm pretty sure the Subtitling Team never subtitled x-F and TheVoice

 It just changed my opinion on social media to a probably more realistic one. And for once, although I do miss him, I'm happy that Mika doesn't come much on the socials these days.

As I said on Twitter the other day, social networks aren't life, and often it's just not possible to express certain thoughts with a few words or in a photo. I'm happy that Mika found a way with his well-researched and thoughtful post. ❤️

Yeah, that's the good and at the same time bad side of socials. They amplify things x1000, whether is love/hate/fake news/etc. And that's why I understand him not being constantly on socials. If you wanna use socials as a distraction or for sharing positivity and wanna live your life you can't be on socials all day long. And taking breaks from them is always good.

Anyway I like how he doesn't use socials at all for months and then he pops out of nothing saying he bought vacuum cleaners and such things, I find it funny and I wouldn't change that with a socializer-Mika!

Hello there! I see you are still discussing about Mika’s last post. I just want to say a couple of things because I’ve read several posts on twitter and I think I can at least collect what was said.

Please note that I am reporting what other people said, I’m not expressing my thought on that, so don’t blame or yell at me.
I’ll not talk about rude fans though, I think it’s better to leave them where they are and ignore them.

About the people that called Mika out respectfully, there’s no reason to attack them. Everyone can simply have different thoughts and express them without attacking each other; we can also change our mind with constructive criticism, so no need to shut them down every time (I’m still talking about respectful tweets, not rude ones).
What they wanted wasn’t a tweet where he said that he donated. There was no doubt on his involvement because if you are fan you know he is really concerned about this kind of subjects. What they were asking for was to tell something about what’s happening, and the reason is simple: there are many fans that are just not interested in what happens around the world and having him speaking about that would reach more people. 
It’s quite sad that you don’t know or are not interested in such things if your fave doesn’t tweet about that, but sadly those people do exist (if you don’t see them maybe you just follow active fans); or maybe you were just logged off every social for a while and missed everything (that could happen too, it happened to me some times). 

That’s it. Of course there were some rude tweets, but blaming everyone is not the answer. I saw much more tweets about people talking about other being rude than the actual rude tweets, and those whining tweets spread more hate and, as always, they created drama out of nothing. You can’t put everyone into the same basket. If someone was rude, tell them, but not blame everyone without distinction.

I just want to add that many artists were called out too, not just Mika. And that’s simply because they have many followers and they could reach more people. I’m not judging if that’s right or not, but I can at least understand why they called them out.

Here you can find the translation from a greek account 🇬🇷

Here's another part from their fb page

Anyway, it's quite simple downloading from Raiplay, but the emission have to finish first 

Sorry @sariflor, what's this Fokker thing? Is it a brand? I have absolutely no clue 

I don't know if it's too late. What about a "back to top of the page" arrow? I'm mostly using my smartphone and every time I had to scroll for ages to go back there

I have to admit that I usually type the code for the MFC emojis as it take so long to go through the list   (but of course you have to be able to remember the code in the first place).

Is there a way to see the code?

I read that back in time there was a chat room. I think this is now replaced by single status updates - It's not a chat but everybody can talk about random things with other users. Anyway they are hard to find in the phone version imo, and I think this is reason why they are not so used. What about giving these more visibility, so you'll have a feed that looks like a social? I'm thinking about Twitter tl. Maybe this little trick will push young MFCers to post their thoughts here too.

Or maybe not. It's just a random idea that came to my mind

And yes, Siri, I'm about as much of a terrible nerd as it gets (to the point where I analyse pop culture/mass media stuff for fun and wrote a BA thesis about vampires... although not the sparkly kind, I swear)

Oh, that sounds cool and very interesting 🧐 you know, I'm from Italy and we have plenty of castles and I spent years visiting those, we have stories about spirits haunting ruins (this story scared me so much as a kid, I still have some trouble with that particular location)...so I find it very intriguing! I also was part of an historic rereenactment group back in time!

Sorry, I'm very good at digressing but you said vampires, I thought castles - middle age - novels...

I think you can call me nerd too, even if I don't consider myself much competent (?)

Generally speaking, art goes [here]

Ooh, I did see nerd stuff in here  btw I like your drawings 🤩

Hi Laurel! 

Gosh, and you said you're not good at writing introductions  it was a pleasure to read your story and to remember when I discovered the artist and fell into the YouTube rabbit hole too 

I think everyone is really disappointed by the lack of an imaginarium tour DVD 

If you want to see Mika's Italian show with subtitles you can have a look here:

See you around the forum!

(If you want to chat about random things - Mika does count as well  - you can join the middlelings thread, we are actually not very active here but we can fix that )

As for a fan action, I've heard that a group of Italian fans want to organize something big. I hope they'll post about it here at some point, so it won't be the same situation as in Strasbourg, where we had so much different stuff.

It would be nice to organize here, I hope they won't wait too much to share so that we can participate in the discussion and choose something all together  I linked some fans to this thread when I read some suggestion, I really hope they'll pop in here at some point (and not too late when all decisions have already been taken  )

I'm in too if we're planning to organize a party all together  And considering they all are numbered places we don't have to worry for the queue

Isn't it the nearest date to Mika's birthday ?

How do you plan on celebrating Mika's birthday?

(maybe we can use this date to give him the usual MFC birthday present and/or the yearbook too)

What about organizing a big fan action too? The Arena is such a beautiful place, we can think about smth like football supporters use to do in stadiums! We have 6 months in order to get in touch with the venue and get all the permissions we need.

I read some suggestion on the net, I can transcribe them here if we want to start brainstorming
