General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | Italian term or phrase: ben + numero | Ho sempre un dubbio su come tradurre questa espressione, sia in inglese sia in francese. In questo caso "ben" è un rafforzativo: vedi esempio
... sono state organizzate ben quattro riunioni nel corso del mese...
Come tradurreste? "Indeed" nel senso di "addirittura" ad inizio frase? Non mi piace molto...
Grazie per le vostre idee |

Emanuela Galdelli: 11:19am Nov 3, 2006: Sorry... - James, but the question is only one. The second one was a suggestion. Thanks!
