Il pane è finito?

Has the bread run out?

Pronunciación

fi-NI-to — three syllables, stress on second.

Cuándo usarla

When arriving at a bakery and not finding the bread you wanted — asking if it has sold out.

Qué significa

'Finito' = finished/sold out. Artisan Italian bakeries make limited daily quantities. Running out of bread by midday is normal and even desirable — it signals that the bread is in high demand and is made fresh daily, not stored.

Cosa ha ancora disponibile?

What do you still have available?

Open question to find what remains when your first choice is gone

Mini diálogo

— Il pane casareccio è finito? — Sì, purtroppo — sono le undici. Ne sforniamo alle tredici però. — Aspetto allora. — Vale la pena — viene caldo!

— Has the country bread run out? — Yes, unfortunately — it is eleven o'clock. We bake more at one though. — I'll wait then. — It's worth it — it comes out warm!

Nota cultural

Running out of bread at an artisan Italian bakery by late morning is not a failure — it is a mark of quality. It means the baker made exactly the right amount and it was all snapped up. The Italian saying 'chi tardi arriva, mal alloggia' (he who arrives late, sleeps badly) applies perfectly to the morning bakery visit.
