It being (having been) my birthday tonight I had Spotify play me Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder, or, as I told my wife, Il Cecone - the Big Blind Guy.

Big news to make sense of words I encounter each day:

In Italian there is a noun and its magnified & minimized forms:
Casa, Casina, Casona

But there are also cutifiers & uglifiers, too!
Casetta/Casuccia, Casaccia

Pentola (pot)
Pentolino (little pot)
Pentolone (cauldron)
Pentolaccia (piñata game, ugly pot to break)

Libro (book)
Libretto (small)
Librino (very small)
Libricino (cute small)
Librone (big)
Libraccio (pulp/trash)

-accio is bad, -uccio is cute

These decline for gender, number, etc
