I proof read a dissertation for an Italian woman and she sent me a gift as a thank you.

I would like to say in her language "Thank you ***** (her name) for the gift, it was very kind of you. I will let you know what I buy and I will try out your spaghetti sauce! I look forward to seeing you in London in the near future.

Grazie!

I've been translating a story, but one small part has me stumped (the ending! agh!)
in a conversation between a man and a woman, the man being deeply in love and the woman having been hinted at having been similarly in love for a long time as well;
him: "Stop treating me like I child! I... I'm already..."
and she says:
"Idiot, you know I'll like you however you are"

and he replies:
"non e vero!" (which I take to mean "that's not true!")
what confuses me is that he continues to say:

"fin quando sarò diventato adulto...
...tu te ne sarai già andata di nuovo, abbandonandomi!"

I currently read this as "when I become an adult ... you'll have already left me, and I'll be alone again!"
(this makes no sense with anything that's been said up until now, she's actually distantly related to him, doesn't...

I am creating a painting as a tribute to one of my college professors who is retiring after 38 years of teaching. He had many sayings that I'll never forget - I even find myself using them on my own students now! I would like to include some of his sayings in my painting, but in Italian (he's part Italian, and I also think it would work better with my idea). I've translated one of them using an online translator but am not positive that it's right. The other one I can't get right no matter how I tweak the words.Here are the phrases:

1. "Talent is the willingness to spend the time."

On my own I've come up with: "Il talento è la buona volontà di prendere il tempo."

2. "There is no greater act of worship than to take your gift, perfect it, and give it back to God."

The closest I've come is "Non vi è nessun atto di adorazione che è maggiore di per prendere il regalo dato voi, perfezionarla, il tuo regalo e restituire a Dio."

Could someone please help me? Only someone who actually knows the language please, I'm nervous about using an online translator and having it be wrong on such an important project. This painting means a lot to me, and I want it to be as perfect as possible. Grazie!

The phrase is "kiss but never/dont love, listen but don't believe, leave before you are left". Could someone help me with the Italian translation of this phrase for a possible tattoo idea? The meaning behind it is gaurd yourself before you are mistreated. Thank you!

I apologize, correction : I'd like to use the phrase written in the subject line for an ITALIAN translation as a tattoo near my heart. To me it means I cannot be controlled or owned. I am my own person and my own property. No one has the ability to claim my body/flesh or my soul as their own but me..

Any help with this translation will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Hi Everybody,

is there an italian phrase that is similar to the english "money's no object"? One that expresses that no expense is too big, for example to buy the best regardless the cost.

I know there's a german phrase that is similar, "Geld spielt keine Rolle", but what is the italian counterpart?

Thanks a lot - Eph

I'm having trouble identifying the correct interpretation of 'wandering' in Italian. For the phrase 'always wandering', I've found the following:

sempre errante
sempre vagante
sempre vagando
sempre vagabondo
sempre erro

Can anyone help me determine which is grammatically and conceptually correct?

Thanks so much!

I need a translation from English to Italian for a tattoo I'm getting. The quote I am using is "Walk with me now, Fly with me later". I have been told I can use  either "dopo" or "piu' tardi" for later. I was also confused about using infinite forms for walk and fly or to conjugate them. Help is appreciated!!

Answer:

by LisaMon (UN), 2011-07-30, 10:09  Spam?  ...

I think that is better to conjugate them with a present tense, and to use the word "dopo" instead of "più tardi". Bye.
