I can help with the Italian names of the toes. In Italian, the five toes are commonly referred to by position, and the big toe has a traditional specific name. Here are the standard terms:
- Alluce (big toe) – the first toe
- Secondo dito – the second toe
- Terzo dito – the third toe
- Quarto dito – the fourth toe
- Quinto dito – the fifth toe
Notes:
- The alluce is also known as alluce in more formal anatomical usage, and it corresponds to the thumb of the hand in terms of its opposite position.
- In everyday language, people sometimes use descriptive or regional variants, but the official anatomical terminology uses the ordinal naming: primo dito, secondo dito, terzo dito, quarto dito, quinto dito, with alluce being the common exception for the big toe.
- Some sources also mention alternative names (e.g., “dito grosso” for the big toe) in casual speech, but these are informal.
If you’d like, I can tailor the explanation for a specific context (medical, educational, or everyday conversation) or provide pronunciation guides.
