Note:Il verbo parlare è reso in inglese principalmente da due verbi, to talk e to speak. To talk è d'uso frequente e informale, e significa parlare in modo amichevole e comunque non ostile o distaccato; to speak è d'uso più raro e formale, e si usa per indicare il parlare con un certo distacco, in modo spesso poco amichevole o comunque tra estranei, e in alcuni casi particolari (parlare al telefono, parlare in dibattiti o conferenze, parlare le lingue, essere in grado fisicamente di parlare ecc). Rinviando agli esempi d'uso più sotto nella voce, si noti che nell'inglese britannico to speak with e to talk with designano un modo di parlare più articolato e prolungato di to speak to e to talk to (il riferimento alla persona a cui si parla deve comunque essere introdotto da with o to)II [par'lare]sostantivo maschile1) (modo di esprimersi) way of speaking, speech2) (idioma)3) (chiacchiere) talk* * *parlare1/par'lare/ [1]Il verbo parlare è reso in inglese principalmente da due verbi, to talk e to speak.

saranno stati non meno di mille, there must have been no fewer than a thousand; non più tardi di ieri, no later than yesterday; arriveremo non prima delle otto, we shall arrive not before eight o'clock;

Note:Generalmente, l'avverbio non ha il suo equivalente diretto nell'inglese not.

A sua volta, diversamente dall'italiano, l'uso di not in frase negativa impone l'uso di un ausiliare se già non ne è presente uno nella frase. - La forma contratta di not, ossia n't, si lega al verbo ausiliare precedente: non l'ho vista = I haven't seen her; non è qui = she isn't here; non è potuta venire = she couldn't come; si ricordino le particolari forme contratte negative di will, shall e can, cioè won't, shan't e can't. Tutte queste forme contratte si usano solo nella lingua parlata e familiare. - Si noti, infine, l'accezione 3 sotto, che mostra come il negativo non davanti ad aggettivi o avverbi può essere reso in inglese mediante un prefisso di valore negativo.1 (con verbi) not (spesso contratto in n't con ausiliari e modali); non è a casa she isn't at home; a loro non è piaciuto they didn't like it; non l'ha visto? hasn't he seen it? "è sposata?" - "non penso" "is she married?" - "I think not"; si prega di non toccare (la merce) please do not handle (the goods); ho cercato di non ridere I tried not to laugh; ho una buona ragione per non farlo I have a good excuse for not doing it; non è che un bambino he's but a child; non hanno scrupoli they have no scruples; non è un posto dove fermarsi this is no place to stop; non c'è di che! don't mention it! not at all!3 (con aggettivi e avverbi) not; aumento non previsto unforeseen increase; oggetto non identificato unidentified object; le cose non dette things left unsaid; non qui not here; non proprio not quite o exactly; non tanto X quanto Y not so much X as Y4 (con comparativi) no, not; non più di no more than; non più tardi delle 6 no later than 6; non oltre maggio no later than May5 (in doppia negazione) non senza ragione not without reason; non meno difficile just as difficult; non disse nulla she didn't say anything; non c'era nessuno in giro there was no-one about; non metto mai zucchero nel caffè I never put any sugar in my coffee6 (con che restrittivo) non è che un graffio it's only a scratch, it's nothing but a scratch; non hai che da dirlo just tell me o say so; non farai che peggiorare le cose you'll only make things worse; non fa che lamentarsi she does nothing but moan7 (pleonastico) che cosa non farebbe per lei! he would do anything for her! per poco non perdevano il treno they almost missed the train. -
