Official English thread-richieste di aiuto e traduzioni

windsofchange · 30-08-2008, 00:59

Here's a game, or just a helpful thread!

Some simple rules: just write in English and try to learn as much as you can.
We can help each other to comprehend this language.

The purpose is purely didactic, no jokes and no "pooh-pooh"!!!

PS: OK, I was joking, let's spam guys!!

Nice thread. Maybe we should correct each other if we find errors or if there is a better way to say something, otherwise it becomes useless.

faccio presente anche a chi è arrivato dopo la mia pulizia che se me lo fate ripulire una 2° volta sono dolori.. per voi

quindi, se non si ha nulla in tema da dire, si tace.. semplice

Maybe we should start to talk about a specific topic, just for practice.

I would like to show some nice idioms:

"caught with your pants down"- letteralmente: colto con i tuoi pantaloni abbassati. Si utilizza per esprimere una situazione di imbarazzo.

She was caught with her pants down: ricordare di declinare l'aggettivo possessivo in accordo al soggetto; è uno degli errori più comuni.

A domani per il prossimo

darkfear · 30-08-2008, 02:42

how about a new trend?

...(drum roll)...

When creating a thread put a tag like [ENGLISH THREAD] near the title...and, well, write!

...in english!

so no one will have to start a " 'let's learn english' thread" just for the sake of spam

...although this might irritate some users who can't read it or just have to say something like "This is an italian forum!!1111oneeleventwentyone?!"!3"

what do you think?

should i kill myself just because i wrote all this?

ho capito...sparisco...

Se vabbè, ora ci spieghi perchè hai cacciato fuori proprio l'idioma sui pantaloni abbassati?

Another usefull idiom:
batten down the hatches, meaning: correre ai ripari

Winds, it could be nice to put some usefull links in the first post, such as online dictionaries. The most of it i tried really sucks (who said google translator?

). I suggest to use the wordreference's dictionary.
http://www.wordreference.com/it/
It also translate in spanish, portugues and french
