Translation of silly things..

[AmyT]

-List of things I couldn't find and or didn't know how to pronounce in Italian:

Coffee Table ?

Candle?

Movies (dvd's)?

Picture Frame?

Sewing Machine?

Dishwasher?

[Auburn0508]

Attained by www.freetranslation.com:

Coffee Table = tavolino da caffè

Candle = candela

Movies (dvd's) = unsure.... il film is the translation of "movie", but I don't know if it's in the right context.

Picture Frame = dipingere la cornice

Sewing Machine = maching cucendo

Dishwasher = lavastoviglie

I'm wary of that site.. it's given me weird answers before. I had those all with question marks next to them.. I hate being unsure of something and learning it wrong. I guess thats what I have my teacher for then eh? Thanks Auburn, I'll probably just bring them to my teacher for verification..

I don't like machine translations. If you can't find these words in your dictionary, try this site: http://www.garzantilinguistica.it/
It requires that you register but it is free and very easy. Use the Hazon dictionary for English-Italian and vice versa. There is also a section dedicated to verb conjugations and synonyms and antonyms. Very useful site for the times when you're using the web and don’t have your Italian dictionary handy.

candle - candela

movie - pellicola - pel-LEE-ko-la

movies - cinema - CHEE-neh-ma

dishwasher - lavastoviglie, lavapiatti

took these from a dictionary. so the translation seems to be correct from above. wasn't able to locate other words.

Hi.
I just like to make you sure that the most correct translation for "movie" is "Film" ("Shooting a movie"= "Girare un film"; "Watching a movie"="Guardare un film").
And for "sewing machine" (meaning not the action of sewing with a machine, but the physical object shown in the link Suanj posted), the correct definition is "Macchina da cucire".
Ciao, Maurizio
