Tecniche per la traduzione in Italiano 1. Read the whole text through once. Then work at sentence level. For each, try to produce the equivalent in Italian. 2. As you build each sentence, use a mental checklist for accuracy: Verbs: Subject – Verb agreement (Who is doing what? ) Tense (When? ) Position in the sentence Nouns: Masculine / Feminine/ Singular / Plural Definite / Indefinite article Adjectives: Noun – Adjectival agreement and position 3. If you don’t know a word, try to think of a synonym or similar word 4. If you can’t think of a suitable replacement word, use a short paraphrase to describe it 5. If a whole sentence is too complex, try to express the meaning with a simpler expression 6. Go through your work thoroughly. Imagine you have been given the job of marking it. Check for spelling, accents, and the items on your grammar checklist.
