Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! As you continue your conversation with your new Italian confidante at dinner, she tells you more and more about her life, but she can’t let go of the conversation about her ex-boyfriend. She draws your attention to them again and asks in Italian, “Would you mind giving me your opinion of his girlfriend?” You explain to her in Italian, “No, I don’t think that’s healthy. I think you should mind your own business.” However, she persists in her questioning. She asks you point-blank in Italian, “Do you think she’s pretty?” You respond in Italian, “The only answer that will make you feel better is that I don’t, and quite frankly, I really didn’t notice her either way. So I’ll just tell you that sure, she’s not attractive. Even if she is pretty, she wasn’t pretty enough for me to notice her. Do you feel better now?” She says in Italian, “A little bit, but it would be better if you were a little meaner about it!”
