Activities
- Me l'ha detto = he told me (it). L' (lo) refers to something that was said before. Mi ha detto = he told me (that). If you say "mi ha detto" you need to add "che" (that) and say what the person told you. Examples: Marco andrà in vacanza in Svezia. Me l'ha detto ieri. Ieri, Marco mi ha detto che andrà in vacanza in Svezia.0 votedAugust 23, 20130
Godendo
Godendo il buon Mi godo il bel tempo en Norvegia. Qualcosa che non succede spesso passa piú.
Enjoying the good weather in Norway. Something that doesn't happen to much.In Italian you don't use the -ing form (like in English) for something that is happening "right now". We just use the present tense.
0 votedJuly 25, 20120- "non ne posso più" means "I can't take it anymore", or "I can't take anymore of this". You could therefore translate "ne" as "of this". As Andrew says, "non posso" and "non ne posso" have very different meanings. Non posso più giocare = I can't play anymore Non ne posso più di giocare = I have had enough of playing. I hope I have not confused you...0 votedMay 1, 20120
- Hmmm, difficult one.... In my opinion the key is "exposure". The more you hear Italian, the more it will stay in your mind and eventually it will come natural to you to "think" with the right sentence structure. I had to do the reverse, going from Italian into English. There is no substitute for living in the country if you can, and "living through the language". You experience a situation, you hear the language that goes with that situation, and next time you are in that situation the language and structures you heard should come back to you...0 votedAugust 6, 20100
