How can I translate these Italian sentences in English?
Hey guys,
I want to translate the following Italian sentences in English. Could you help me, please?
1) "Vorrei uscire con te" but I intend to go out (uscire) not like a friend but like a boyfriend
2) "Essere in vacanza" (Can I translate this as "Be on holiday"?)

Answer

1.  Will you go out with me? ('go out' clearly  has the meaning of boy/girl relationship in this context).

2.  Yes. 'I'm on holiday' = British English or 'I'm on vacation' =US English

3.  You can't really translate the idiom. There isn't an equivalent in English. Something like 'spoilt little rich boy' would cover it, though.

Hope that helps.
