When you come home from school or get off work, what is the first question your family asks you? I’m willing to bet they usually use “how are you today?“Or”How are you doing today?“! As we are about to see, you can use various phrases to ask this question in Italian.
One of the closest translations is:
how are you today?
how are you today?
(Light up. How are you doing today?)
Let’s see how to form this question in Italian:
Is an Interrogative words in Italian Can be translated into how is it or what It depends on the context.It can be shortened to with’ When followed by a verb that starts with a vowel Yes (Yes) Or era (used to be).
Is Perfect now of go with (go with), so it can be translated as gone / go with / went Use English according to the context.
go with Always assisted become (become) Instead of have (have), which is why the Italians say she left (Literally means “disappeared”) instead of gone.
The past participle is feminine gone, Not masculine go withBecause we are talking about That day (That day, Such as from morning to night), this is a feminine noun.
It is a feminine definite article.It is equivalent to This in English.
Equivalent to your in English.It’s a feminine form because day It is a feminine noun.
*Please note that verbs can also be used become (how are you today?) Instead of go with. This will be the most literal translation of an English phrase how are you today? However, my husband who grew up in Turin told me that, instinctively, he would tend to use go with.
**‘Precautions for useyour ‘
Italian does not require possessive pronouns like English, so your It is not always mandatory.It’s enough to say (literally) How is your life? or How is your life? Because the listener can infer from the context that the speaker is asking about their day, not someone else’s. and so, how are you today? Also effective.
Another way to ask this question is to use the word Nowadays instead day, with Nowadays significance NowadaysThis is one of the easiest ways to ask this question, and one of the most common ways.
How was your day?
How was your day?
These question phrases can refer to the day of the average person or a specific event that both parties know about and are therefore implicit in the conversation.
Of course, you can ask more precise questions if you wish. E.g:
How was your day at school?
How was your day at school?
How was your time at school today?
How is your day at school?
Some possible answers to these questions include:
- Fine thanks! = Fine thanks!
- (It went) Great! = (It goes) really good!
- There is nothing better than this. = It could not be better.
- Not bad! = Not bad!
- Well, all in all. = Well, all things have been considered.
Please note that if the question is asked with a verb become instead go with (how are you today instead how are you today), most of the answers above sound strange because they are built on using go with As an expression.The answer below is more suitable for responding become version:
- (This is) satisfactory. = (This is) satisfactory.
- (it is) Very productive! = (it is) Very productive!
- This is a perfect day! = This is a perfect day!
- (it is) Quite interesting! = (it is) Fun enough!
- All in all, this is a beautiful day. = All things considered, this is a beautiful day.
