To be on the same page Good afternoon to everyone, I would like to know what is the equivalent of "being on the same page" in Italian... For example: "I just would like to make sure that we are on the same page to avoid any misunderstanding." I am interested to know whether there are any slang or informal ways to say this... Your answers are, as always, greatly appreciated! Wishing an amazing day to everyone!!! Aida N.

To express a strong desire Hello everyone, I would like to know if there is a specific word in Italian language that expresses a strong desire, excluding "desiderare" or "volere"? Thanks in advance Aida N.

Marco and I Hello, I am wondering what is the grammatical rule in Italian language in circumstances where the writer includes themselves and a third party. In English, the writer has to put the third-party first and then include himself/herself. Does it work the same way in Italian? For example: "Marco and I" "Marco ed io" or "Io e Marco" Thank you, Aida N.
