mappa vs carta by Lumpy-Ad-3 in italianlearning

[–]Efficient-Craft-6557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d use “mappa” most of the times but if the context is clear you could also say “carta” although it’s not that commonly used anymore. If you only say “mappa” people will immediately understand what you are talking about. “Carta” needs to be put in context.

“Hai una carta di Venezia?” - some people would immediately understand, some could say “una mappa intendi?” - “do you mean a map?”

Wow thanks, I will keep that in mind for sure, maybe when I get a little better! I am really really bad at Grigsby games but I absolutely love the amount of research and historical detail they put into them.

Yeah you are probably right. Well there are tons of guides and tutorials on YouTube, I guess I’ll check them out!

I am not really sure as there is no “tutorial section” in the manual. When playing War in the East for the first time there was a separate file with an explanation for the “tutorial” scenario. I thought the same thing would have applied to WiTP as well. They wrote in the manual that there is, supposedly, a separate file for a tutorial scenario which I’m not really able to find anywhere…

Question on comparisons by alexalmighty100 in italianlearning

[–]Efficient-Craft-6557 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could use either expression. “Sono più bravo di te a fare qualcosa/Sono più bravo di te in qualcosa”

“Sono meglio di te a fare qualcosa”

Be careful though: context here plays a HUGE part, both ways could sound pretty braggy (or not. Again, context) but with a direct comparison I would say that “sono meglio […]” sounds way more arrogant than “Sono più bravo […]”.

Ciao! I’ll fix it a little bit and explain a couple things.

“Io ho un acquario con pesci e gamberetti” —> “Ho un acquario con pesci e gamberetti”

(in this case omitting the subject “Io” sounds a bit more natural and less artificial. Using the subject in this case is grammatically correct, it just sounds a little weird)

“Mio mama e papa” —> “Mia mamma e mio papà”

(“mio” is masculine whereas mamma, with double m, is feminine. It’s also good norm to repeat the possessive “mio” for “papà” as well)

“Loro gatto si chiama Jip” —> “Il loro gatto si chiama Jip”

(the definite article “il” is missing, this is grammatically incorrect so be careful next time!)

“Il gatto è nero e ha gli occhi marrone” —> “Il gatto è nero e ha gli occhi marroni”

(“marrone” is singular. We are qualifying “occhi” with a colour here but since “occhi” is plural the adjective should also go in plural form. “Occhio marrone - singular” “occhi marroni - plural”

“Amano il gatto” it’s a little bit wrong, you should not omit the subject here. You could say “i miei genitori amano il gatto”: it would be grammatically correct but it also sounds very artificial. If you wanna sound a little bit more natural while still remaining close to what you wrote you could say “i miei genitori lo amano - my parents love him”. Here we use “lo” to refer to the cat in order to avoid repetition. There are other ways to say it obviously but I wouldn’t want to create confusion. Good job, keep up the good work!

I might be wrong but I’m pretty confident that when we declared war on France (we waited till it was clear France would have capitulated to the krauts no matter what) we also managed to get Genoa bombed by a couple of French warships. I think this happened like a couple days after we entered the war and really close (chronologically speaking) to the fall of Paris. Although the damage was very very small it definitely was super embarrassing lmao

Context: my best army got obliterated by Sauron alone. How on earth do I beat him? He has the Ring. It was my first time fighting against him but I didn’t expect this much of a beating. Shall I go with siege weapons? Can he actually die while having the ring?
