aggiunta

The Italian word 'aggiunta' is used to refer to the action or process of adding something to something else. It can also be used to describe an additional item or feature that is included in a product or service. In mathematical contexts, it can be used to refer to the operation of adding numbers together.

Here's how to use it:

  • Hai bisogno di un'aggiunta di zucchero nel tuo caffè?
  • L'aggiunta di questa scena ha migliorato il film.
  • Per favore, fai un'aggiunta alla lista della spesa.

Tennis

The word 'Tennis' is the same in both English and Italian and it refers to a sport where two or four people hit a ball back and forth over a net. In Italian, it is used exactly as it is in English, but with an Italian pronunciation.

Here's how to use it:

  • Mi piace giocare a tennis.
  • Il tennis è uno sport trent'annuale.
  • Abbiamo bisogno di una racchetta da tennis.

sembrare

In Italian, 'sembrare' is an intransitive verb used to express what seems to be, to appear or to look like. For instance, 'Mi sembra bello' translates to 'It seems beautiful to me'. The verb 'sembrare' is often used with adjective or other verbs in the infinitive form.

Here's how to use it:

  • Sembra che stia per piovere
  • Mi sembra una buona idea
  • Non sembra giusto

lingua

The Italian word 'lingua' is used in a similar way to the English word 'language'. It refers to a system of communication, either spoken or written, used by a particular group of people. For example, 'Che lingua parli?' means 'What language do you speak?'.

Here's how to use it:

  • La lingua italiana è bella.
  • Sto imparando la lingua francese.
  • La lingua di un cane è calda.

descrizione

The Italian word 'descrizione' is used in the same way as the English word 'description'. It refers to a detailed account or representation of something, often used to provide information or details about a person, place, thing, or event. For example, 'La descrizione del libro era molto interessante' translates to 'The description of the book was very interesting'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Vorrei una descrizione dettagliata del prodotto.
  • La descrizione dell'evento sembrava davvero interessante.
  • La tua descrizione del problema è molto chiara.
