"I never wanted anything more." The sentence quoted in the title is from a beautiful (for me) song by Moby, called 'Mistake'. The context is not relevant as does not give any hint to the meaning. I cannot decide between the followings: a) 'more' has the meaning similar to 'no more things' b) 'more' relates to the intensity of the desire (to want). c) The sentence could have both of the previous meanings. Thank you for your help.

adj.+ noun is the same as noun + adj. ? An invitation to the Italian Learners: As you know the Italian language allows a great freedom in changing the order of the sentence elements using prepositions to glue everything together, and in many cases leaving the same meaning. Do the following sentences have the same meaning? a) Marco ha comprato una nuova macchina. b) Marco ha comprato una macchina nuova. ----------------------------- Un invito per chi sta imparando la lingua di Dante: Come sapete, la lingua italiana permette una notevole liberta` nel cmbiare l'ordine degli elementi di una frase, usando le preposizioni come collante e spesso lasciando il contenuto identico. Le due frasi che seguono hanno lo stesso significato? a) Marco ha comprato una nuova macchina. b) Marco ha comprato una macchina nuova.

Piu` parole di quanto ci si apsetti! More words than expected! I was writing a letter which fell on the ground, mixing up the lines. Help me recover some words in Italian language: Uncles, uncle, blackberries, nests, races, ... Are there animals ? Is there a part of an animal ? u a c g a n a m p r i z c v e d i d e l o a n t e Rules, if you like rules: 1. Don't read other answers 2. look at your watch and record the time 3. find and write the words (following a snake path, without repetition on the same square, letters can be repeated, but from different squares.) 4. write down also initial and final times. I hope it's not boring! What is a word? Noun, articles, adjectives, singular or plural, and any verbal voice. Eventually write also the infinitive form of the verb, just to be sure.correction: aSPettiCan you find the name of the first great writer in Italian? (just name, not surname)

come si dice 'dispetto' (sostantivo) in inglese? Mi interessa il significato legato a questi esempi: 1. Mio fratello piccolo piange perche` gli hanno fatto un dispetto a scuola. 2. Perche` hai messo anche il tonno nei miei panini? Lo sai che non mi piace! Sei proprio dispettoso. 3. Pur di fare un dispetto alla propria ex-moglie rimane a vivere nello stesso quartiere. 4. I dispetti non li sopporto, gli scherzi invece mi piacciono, ovviamente se spiritosi. Grazie, perfavore fatemi qualche vostro esempio.
