fidanzato
boyfriend
The Italian word for boyfriend is 'fidanzato'. It is used to refer to a male partner in a romantic relationship. However, it's important to note that 'fidanzato' also implies a certain level of commitment, similar to the English term 'fiancé'. So, it's not always a direct translation of 'boyfriend', but rather depends on the context and the seriousness of the relationship.
Example sentences using: fidanzato
Mio fidanzato è molto simpatico.
My boyfriend is very nice.
In Italian, 'fidanzato' means 'boyfriend'. The sentence structure is similar to English, with the possessive adjective ('mio' = 'my') coming before the noun ('fidanzato'), and the adjective ('simpatico' = 'nice') appearing after the verb ('è' = 'is').
Il fidanzato di Maria vive in Italia.
Maria's boyfriend lives in Italy.
In this example, the phrase 'di Maria' (of Maria) is used to indicate possession, equivalent to 'Maria's' in English. The subject is 'Il fidanzato' ('the boyfriend'), and the rest of the sentence gives information about the subject.
Non ho un fidanzato.
I do not have a boyfriend.
This sentence is a standard negation. 'Non' (not) is used before the verb 'ho' (I have) to create the negative form, 'un' is an indefinite article that stands for 'a' in English, and 'fidanzato' is the noun 'boyfriend'. The full sentence is 'Non ho un fidanzato' which translates as 'I do not have a boyfriend'.
