11 -calculi o stones?-
Nota d'usoIn inglese, quando una persona presenta problemi di calcoli, normalmente non si usa la parola “calculi”, ma “stones”: Mia mamma ha i calcoli ai reni, my mum has got kidney stones; calcoli epatici, gallstones. Il sostantivo “calculi” è utilizzato esclusivamente in ambito medico-scientifico. -
12 -to tell-
Nota d'usoIl verbo to tell, diversamente dal suo corrispettivo italiano “dire, raccontare”, è seguito direttamente dall'oggetto (persona a cui si dice qc.), senza alcuna preposizione: The child told his mum about his day, il bambino raccontò alla mamma la sua giornata. -
