With a chill in my mind I am running to you Our fate shares the same thread, and cutting it will change us As @Gollum87 says, "gelo" here can be translated using anything that conveys the idea of cold or numbness in the mind. In English, "chill" will do nicely. I can't come up with a good translation of the second part. basically, "we share the same fate/fortune/future but cutting/changing it will change us". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Just to nitpick, "tagliente" is participio presente, therefore the sentence is active and sorte/che can't be the object of the cutting, but rather the subject :)
Otherwise you'd have participio passato "tagliato". So you could translate it like "we share the same fate/fortune/future that, in a harsh way/in a sharp way/by cutting, will change us" Edited by drygramul on 01 July 2014 at 10:59am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm confused about something..
I read one text about Roman Gods in Italian, and I noticed something.. The word for "gods" is "gli dei", but why there is GLI article and not I ? Why not "i dei" ? Are there more words in Italian with GLI article in plural not beginning with SC, Z, X, PN, GN,PS and a A,E,I,O,U ??? Grazie..

dei used to be iddei, so gli iddei made perfect sense. Over time the initial id vanished but gli stuck. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Grazie, dampingwire, per ricordaci che gli dei una volta erano (o lo sono ancora, se la pronuncia di uno è toscaneggiante), infatti, iddei... :)
Gollum, per i dettagli vedere qui: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deglutinazione Ako treba pomoć oko prevoda sa italijanskog, ti viči! ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Interessante scoprirlo da uno straniero, per quanto mi riguardava diciamo "gli dei" solo perche' "i dei" suona male :D
How did you discover it? :S 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Magari per noi è una questione di abitudine, anche a me suona a dir poco spiacevole e sarei stato propenso alla tua stessa spiegazione.
Però dampingwire è madrelingua Italiano, stando almeno al suo profilo.
All S impure follow this rule. S impure are all the syllables formed by an S followed by a consonant, so ST, SP, SR, SM, SN, SB and so on. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Credo che Tristano si riferisca al poster originale, Gollum87, madrelingua Serbo... ;)
