25
# Translate to Italian:
ten _dollars_
dieci _dollari_
26
# Translate to Italian:
three euros fifty
| €3.50
tre euro cinquanta
## Footnote
Just like we would say "three dollars fifty", in Italian you say the number of euros, then the number of cents.
27
# Translate to Italian:
_I have_ two cats.
_Ho_ due gatti.
## Footnote
I have = *ho*
You can also say *io ho*, but the fact that it is "I" speaking is communicated by the verb *ho*.
28
# Translate to Italian:
_Do you have_ ten euros?
_Hai_ dieci euro?
## Footnote
you have = *hai*
You can also say *tu hai*, but the fact that it is "you" speaking is communicated by the verb *hai*.
29
# Translate to Italian:
_How much_ does it cost?
_Quanto_ costa?
## Footnote
how much = *quanto*
30
# Translate to Italian:
It costs six euros.
Costa sei euro.
31
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
**Uomo**: Quanto costa?
**Donna**: Otto euro.
## Footnote
_Translation_:
**Man**: "How much does it cost?"
**Woman**: "Eight euros."
32
# Translate to Italian:
There's _nothing_ here.
Non c'è niente qui.
## Footnote
nothign = *niente*
Note that in Italian, we use a double negative: *non* + *niente* in the same sentence. They don't cancel each other out! That's just how you use *niente* in a sentence.
This is the opposite of how we'd do it in English, where double negatives are frowned upon. e.g. We wouldn't say "I don't have nothing", but in Italian that's exactly how you'd say it.
33
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
**Donna**: Hai due euro?
**Uomo**: No, non ho niente.
## Footnote
_Translation_:
**Woman**: "Do you have two euros?"
**Man**: "No, I don't have anything."
Note how this use of *non* + *niente* technically translates to "no + anything" in English, since English does not permit double negatives.
The word *niente* still means "nothing"; it's just that in English we changed this to "anything". (Looking at the languages of the world, we're the weird ones here!)
34
# Translate to Italian:
I have _only_ two brothers.
Ho _soltanto_ due fratelli.
35
# Translate to Italian:
Luisa has _lots of_ sisters.
Luisa ha _molte_ sorelle.
36
# Translate to Italian:
That costs very little!
Costa poco!
37
# Translate to Italian:
That costs a lot!
Costa molto!
38
# Translate to Italian:
That costs _so much_!
Costa _tanto_!
## Footnote
so much = *tanto*
In Italian, you can omit the word "that". Just like the word "that" refers to something already indicated, the third-person of any verb (*costa*) implies whatever object you're already talking about.
39
# Translate to Italian:
That costs _too much_!
Costa _troppo_!
## Footnote
too much = *troppo*
40
# Translate to Italian:
How much do you have?
Quanto hai?
41
# Translate to Italian:
How many do you have?
Quanti hai?
## Footnote
how much = *quanto*
how many = *quanti*
So *quanti* is for things you can count, like bananas, cars, or dogs, while *quanto* is for a single quantity, like a piece of cheese measured by weight.
42
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
**Donna**: Costa molto?
**Uomo**: No! Costa solo due euro.
## Footnote
_Translation_:
**Woman**: "Does it cost a lot?"
**Man**: "No! It only costs two euros."
only = *solo*
43
# Translate to Italian:
How much does his car _cost_?
Quanto _costa_ la sua macchina?
## Footnote
If you want to specify an object, just add it after the words *Quanto costa?*
44
# Translate to Italian:
This house is _expensive_.
Questa casa è _cara_.
## Footnote
expensive = *caro* / *cara*
45
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
**Uomo**: Quanto costa una pizza?
**Donna**: Trenta euro.
**Uomo**: È troppo caro!
## Footnote
_Translation_:
**Man**: "How much does a pizza cost?"
**Woman**: "Thirty euros."
**Man**: "That's too expensive!"
46

49

Ho _quarantasette_ anni.
## Footnote

*quaranta* + *sette* = *quarantasette*
50
# Translate to Italian:
I'm _29_ years old.
Ho _ventinove_ anni.
## Footnote

**Woman**: "How old are you?"
**Man**: "I'm fifty years old."
52
[What is being said in the audio recording?]
**Uomo**: Ho venticinque anni. Quanti anni hai?
**Donna**: Trentaquattro.
## Footnote
_Translation_:
**Man**: "I'm twenty five years old. How old are you?"
**Woman**: "Thirty four."
In Italian, numbers are combined into one word.
20 + 5 = 25
*venti* + *cinque* = *venticinque*
30 + 4 = 34
*trenta* + *quattro* = *trentaquattro* = "thirty four"
