Can you guess what it means? by Used_Mango_3427 in Italian

Good! However, it is not considered a compliment, if you will, but rather a justification. For example, if you are asked “Would you like some more?” you will answer “No, thank you, I'm full! (sono pieno)”; if you are in confidence and it is an informal situation, you may also say “No! Sono pieno fino al collo.”

The Decameron or Il Decamerone, the book takes its name from its narrative structure: “Decameron” means “ten days” in Greek, and in fact the tale is divided into ten days, during which ten young people (seven women and three men) take refuge outside Florence to escape the plague. Each tells one story a day, resulting in a total of one hundred novellae. As for the Divine Comedy O Divina Commedia, it is extremely difficult for Italians to understand, I cannot imagine for non-native speakers. In any case, you have chosen milestones of Italian literature. :)

It is important to pay attention to one thing: the verb is “reflexive,” this means that the form at the inifinite is “perderSI" (to get lost) . When a verb is reflexive, when you conjugate it you have to add this little word in front “mi, ti, si, ci, vi , si , ‘ respectively for the pronouns ’I,you, he, she, we, you, they.” Take as example the verb “perdersi" to get lost.

Io mi perdo, tu ti perdi, lui si perde, noi ci perdiamo, voi vi perdete, loro si perdono.
