RayaBadran Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hello What's up? I ate way too much and have been listening to "Century man" on repeat, singing along and wondering how the hell it’s possible to sing it with a human voice. Oh I totally forgot that there was this little smiley face I'm good! I'm taking this break to surf the net then go back to college work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat_loves_mika Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I've been on a major poetry binge for the last few days. I finally finished a poem I'm extremely happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceebs Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yeah me too! Back to studying Italian perhaps? Feel free to PM me if you need any help! I could use some correction too with my English I'm trying to learn a little Italian too, and I'm just confounded by prepositions-like dai, del, dal dallo dei. I never know which to use when. The rest is going pretty good, but this? I'm at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never know which to use when. The rest is going pretty good, but this? I'm at a loss. Italian is very insidious, especially for English and Asian speakers, it takes some time. It's great that you're already quite good! The use of propositions changes from time to time, it depends on the sentence. If you have any questions I'd be happy to help! I understand your frustration, it's the same for me with English! Very often I want to say something but I don't know how to phrase it, so I end up changing the whole sentence or saying nothing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log lady Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hahahaha, never. I never let anyone read my poems. Seems legit. Too bad though, you'll never know if you're good if you don't let anyone read them (not me obviously, someone competent ). I'm sure you're talented!

Very often I want to say something but I don't know how to phrase it, so I end up changing the whole sentence or saying nothing at all I always think I have the rules figured out, but then something comes along that doesn't fit the pattern and I'm all confused again. So most of the time I just use del. It seems to work a lot. I have a learn Italian app, and is very good. Likewise, I can help with English questions as well. OK, here's one-does it matter if I use ma or bensi, or are they interchangable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log lady Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I always think I have the rules figured out, but then something comes along that doesn't fit the pattern and I'm all confused again.

OK, here's one-does it matter if I use ma or bensi, or are they interchangable? They both can be used as adversative conjunctions, but "bensì" is only used after a negation, it's like "but rather". For example, "Non voglio fare quello, bensì questo": here "bensì" and "ma" are interchangeable. However, "ma" has a much wider use, it's not only adversative, it can also be used after a sentence to introduce a new subject, or before an exclamation. So, when in doubt use "ma" and you can't go wrong Edited April 1, 2014 by Log lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
