The classic 10
- "Sono caldo" for "I'm hot": this means "I'm horny". Say ho caldo.
- Getting the auxiliary wrong: ho andato should be sono andato. Movement verbs take essere.
- Forgetting gender agreement: la casa è bello →︎ la casa è bella.
- "Attualmente" means currently, not actually. Actually = in realtà.
- "Simpatico" means friendly, not sympathetic. Sympathetic = comprensivo.
- Direct translations of "how many years": quanti anni hai? not come vecchio sei?
- Using "molto" as an adjective: molte ragazze, not molto ragazze.
- "Come" as a question word: means how, not what. What = che cosa.
- Forgetting the article with body parts: mi lavo i denti, not mi lavo miei denti.
- "Voglio" as a request: use vorrei in shops and cafés. Voglio sounds demanding.
