Title: Question to Italian speaking people only
Post by: Skippy on March 06, 2004, 01:59:00 PM

What is the correct translation for "I hate you all!" when refering to people:

Io vi odio
Vi odio tutti [ ... to hate everyone 'all']

odiare:
to hate, detest, loathe;

What is "vi" in english?

Alla fine; "I kill you!"

T'ammazzo! [corretto]

Grazie mille, ciao Skippy

The wife tells me that:

Vi odio tutti

is correct.

Vi "You, plural"
Odio "I hate"
tutti "all, plural"

"I kill you". Can't help, wife won't say. Thinks maybe you shouldn't be saying this to Italian people. :-o

I'm amusing then your wife is either italian, or speaks the language.

Lol, not recommended telling italians that you're gonna kill them!

"amusing"; think that's supposed to be "assuming".

Another question:

"qualcosa di più" literally translates as "something/anything of more".

But what does it actually mean by the way of expression.

skippy
