## 1. 8/5/2025

The English expression I have learned today: pull yourself together. A very useful expression.
in Italian is: "datti una calmata" or "calmati"/"riprenditi".
you can use them when the other person is sad, anxious or angry.
the difference more or less is:
- for anger ➡️"datti una calmata" and "calmati" ;
- for sadness and anxiety ➡️ "riprenditi".

i.e. "you can't suffer in this way, pull yourself together!!" = "non puoi soffrire in questo modo, riprenditi!"
"you are too angry today, pull yourself together!" = "sei troppo arrabbiato oggi, datti una calmata!"

## 3. 7/19/2025

things I have learnt here, about idiomatic expressions:
🇬🇧🇺🇸 to have the guts to do something
i.e. I had the guts to talk to that girl.
He had the guts to face his father.

🇮🇹 in Italian we don't use gut = intestino, we use fegato = liver instead
es. Ho avuto il fegato di parlare con quella ragazza.
Ha avuto il fegato di affrontare suo padre.
