2 -besides, except o apart from?-
Nota d'usoBesides significa “a parte” nel senso di “oltre a, in aggiunta”: He speaks three other languages besides English and Italian, parla altre tre lingue, oltre all'inglese e all'italiano. Except si usa quando si parla o scrive di qualcosa o qualcuno che non è incluso, quindi significa “a parte” nel senso di “tranne, eccetto”: Everyone understood except me, tutti hanno capito tranne me. Apart from può essere utilizzato con entrambi i significati: He speaks three other languages apart from English and Italian, parla altre tre lingue, oltre all'inglese e l'italiano; Everyone understood apart from me, tutti hanno capito tranne me.English-Italian dictionary > -besides, except o apart from?-
