Italian term or phrase: combo selector stesse della pagina iniziale
Same selection of options from the home page? does anyone have a better translation? it's hard because I am not getting full sentences from the client.

Explanation:
what if the sentence was - "ti sei chiesto se la foto del combo selector stesse della pagina iniziale?" An incomplete sentence can be very deceiving.

my point is that combo selector is singular so "stesse" does not make sense. It could well be translated as "combo selector was from the start page" if it is an incomplete sentence.

neutral  forli: what if "stesse" is from the verb "stare"? - Given that this may not be a full sentence either.
2 hrs
  -> stesse = same otherwise in Italian structure wise it would not make any sense

neutral  Rosanna Palermo: was=stette not stesse it would have to be "conjunctive"see verb conjugation http://parole.alice.it/parolecgi/ControlServletParole

  -> why can`t it be conjunctive?
agree  Alessandra Renna: I totally agree with your objection. If it was an indirect question, conjunctive would be compulsory. Anyway the matter with "stesse" isn't the plural numeber (in italian we don't use the s) but the female gender/I agree with your doubts

  -> thnx Alessandra. My point is that we do not know the whole sentence. This is the reason I set the confidence level so low.
