0 votedJuly 5, 20111- Some issues when I translate also with “也“ How to translate this? A: Do you like tea? B: Yes, and you? A: I like tea as well, but I also like coffee. A: 你喜欢茶吗? B: 我喜欢。 你呢? A: 我也喜欢,但是我也喜欢咖啡。 Is that correct? Should A use 也 both to express that he also likes tea (like his friend), and to express that he also likes coffee (besides tea)? ThanksJuly 5, 201171

生命中,不断地有人离开或进入。于是,看见的,看不见的;记住的,遗忘了。 生命中,不断地有得到和失落。于是,看不见的,看见了;遗忘的,记住了。 然而,看不见的,是不是就等于不存在?记住的,是不是永远不会消失?
Life, people constantly come and go. Visible, invisible; remembered, forgotten. In your life, you always get something and give away something else. So, invisible, visible; forgotten, remembered. However, is invisible the same as non-existent? Remembered, does it mean that it will never disappear?(I tried...nice text, though it doesn't make too much sense. But if it does in Chinese, then you can paraphrase and we will find a better translation... Is this a song or a poem maybe?)

In addition to what Fede wrote, in case there is an action and not only a verbal intimidation, you can also use: pick on somebody/bully somebody = fare una prepotenza a qualcuno0 votedJune 25, 20111
- I am not sure I fully understand the question, but you can in general translate "I don't care" with "Non mi importa": Es.: 1) +VERB "Non mi importa quanti soldi guadagna, l'importante è che mi voglia bene" (You can also omit "mi" if you want to have a slightly different meaning. In fact you will have "non importa" more similar to "it doesn't matter") 2) +NOUN "Non mi importa delle tue scuse, se ti rivolgi ai tuoi colleghi in questo modo ancora una volta sei licenziato" "Non fa niente" or "Non fa nulla" have also similar meaning, but I would say that they translate "it doesn't matter" rather than "I don't care". A quite rude, definitely colloquial way to express "I don't care" could also be "Non mi frega" or even the stronger "Non me ne frega niente" instead of "Non mi importa". I wouldn't suggest to use this expression, but I believe you might bump into it quite often, so it is useful to know what it means. ;-)0 votedJune 4, 20110
- Mi piace tutta la frutta - SI Mi piacciono tutte le frutta - NO Mi piacciono tutti i tipi di frutta - SI "Frutta" è un termine generico per indicare l'insieme di tutti i frutti. In italiano corrente si dice "la frutta" e non "le frutte" o "la frutte". Il sostantivo maschile "il frutto" con il suo plurale "i frutti" significa "i prodotti della terra" e, per estensione, di un qualsiasi lavoro. Es. "La mela è un frutto" "Tra tutti i frutti preferisco il mango" "Lei è vegetariana, mangia praticamente solo frutta e verdura" "Questi risultati sono frutto del mio duro lavoro" (non frutta) Hope it helps ;-)0 votedJune 4, 20111
