Wichita Mi Eccita

Sunday September 21, 2008
If Wichita, Kansas turns you on, then let the world know: Wichita mi eccita. But beware the nuances of expressing the concept of being turned on (or excited) in Italian. The verb eccitare, for example, can mean to excite (one's imagination), provoke, or arouse (sexually). The adjective eccitante, meanwhile, can be defined as stimulating (as a substance), thrilling (as an adventure), or sexy.
