Толкование Перевод

1 -nobody o anyone?-

Nota d'uso
Il pronome indefinito nessuno si traduce con “anyone” o “anybody” in presenza di frasi interrogative o negative: C'è nessuno?, is anyone there? (non is nobody there?); Non ho visto nessuno, I haven't seen anybody. Nel caso di frasi affermative, invece, nessuno si traduce con “nobody” o “no one”: Nessuno l'ha vista, nobody has seen her.
