Hello everyone

I have a question:

If i say: I admit eating a lot. i translate it in italian in this way: AMMETTO DI MANGIARE TANTO.

If i said in Italian: AMMETTO DI AVER MANGIATO TANTO OGGI, I have to write: I admit of eating a lot?

Thank you very much

Answer

No, you don't transfer the "di" this way.  The natural way of writing the sentence would be,

"I admit having eaten a lot today."

or

"I admit I ate a lot today."

Answer

While I cannot translate your Italian, I can say that in English, we do not say "admit of" something. We say "admit to"  something. For example, "I admit to eating a lot."

However, "I admit that I eat a lot" is probably more common. Also, "I admit eating a lot" is not a complete sentence in English.
