Re: Italian Language
Thanks for the great explanation, rykarreolacr.

No problem. ^^rankgain said:Thanks for the great explanation, rykarreolacr.
Thanks. I kinda thought it was "molti studenti simpatici", but wasn't sure.[br]Posted on: January 07, 2007, 08:42:45 AM_________________________________________________In the case of something like "She is a very beautiful girl", will the Italian be "Lei è una molto bella ragazza." or is it "Lei è un molto bella ragazza". I'm not sure if the "un/una" gets modified by the molto or turns feminine because ragazza or lei is feminine. Or some other reason. I'm pretty sure it should be una, but just making sure, since a grammar mistake on my essays turn into big point losses. Thanks guys.[br]Posted on: January 09, 2007, 10:08:31 PM_________________________________________________Uhh, I just remembered that when molto is added to an adjective, the whole thing gets moved to the front of the noun, right? [br]Posted on: January 09, 2007, 10:20:52 PM_________________________________________________Another thing, when you use bello with occhi, it turns into "begli occhi" right? Thanks. I hate this essay.rykarreolacr said:"molti studenti simpatici" means "many nice students"
"studenti molto simpatici" means "very nice students"
It depends on what are you trying to say. They are both correct depending on the context.
Thanks, but what would you suggest as an alternate for "begli occhi"?Luckas said:"She is a very beautiful girl" -> "(Lei) E' una ragazza molto bella", you don't need "lei".
In the sentence the subject "lei" is implicit, "una" and "ragazza" are singular feminine because of the subject.
"Begli occhi" is correct, but it sound strange in italian, it is a little ugly.
I didn't suggest one, because you need to change a little the sentence or to use a different adjective.rankgain said:Thanks, but what would you suggest as an alternate for "begli occhi"?

Ooh, never learned how to use "di" like that in Italian before. Thanks.[br]Posted on: January 10, 2007, 04:45:38 PM_________________________________________________When talking about possession, such as "the person's", do I say "il suo uomo"? That is how you use the suo/tuo/mio and those words right? I know that when using those words, the article is automatically added on, so does the "the" from the English disappear?rykarreolacr said:You could say: "Lei ha degli occhi molto belli" or something like that. It sounds better.
THANK YOU! You might have just saved my life. If you ever need anything non Italian related, feel feel to ask.Luckas said:There are many errors of spelling, you could use a programm as Word with an italian dictionary to check the spelling.
I corrected the errors of spelling and other things, but if you have time let's see if rykarreolacr or others could give you a second opinion.
Caterina è una ragazza molto bella. È magra e di (d') altezza media. Ha lunghi capelli, naso medio e begli occhi. Caterina è una ragazza ingenua. È molto simpatica, ma le ragazze usano la sua (sua what, it lacks something). Le amiche di Caterina controllano e usano la sua (sua what, it lacks something). Ha un buon padre ed una buona madre. Ha amiche strane (delle strane amiche), ma soltanto una buon'amica. Ha una vita semplice, ma le amiche cambiano lei (after the comma, it isn't clear). Prova a adattarsi, ma è non facile.
Gianfilippo è il padre di Caterina. Usa gli occhiali ed è vecchio. Si (S') indigna facilmente ed è severo, ma vuole bene a Caterina. Non possiede molte cose (non è ricco), ma è felice insieme alla sua famiglia. È un insegnante, ma odia l'insegnamento. Desidera diventare uno scrittore.
Gianfilippo è realistico e (invece/mentre) Caterina è ingenua. Gianfilippo è vecchio ed ha molte esperienze di vita, ma Caterina non è mai stata in città prima. Lui desidera solo cosa è meglio per Caterina. Gianfilippo desidera solo proteggere Caterina, ma Caterina invece desidera vivere la sua vita.
