What is 'I'm from America' when translated from English to Italian?

Answer 1

Ma sono americana! in the feminine and Ma sono americano! in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "But I am American!"

Specifically, the conjunction ma is "but." The present indicative verb sono means "(I) am" in this context. The feminine adjective americana and the masculine americano respectively translate as "(female) American" and "(male) American."

The respective pronunciation in Italian will be "ma SO-no a-MEY-ree-KA-na" in the feminine and "ma SO-no a-MEY-ree-KA-no" in the masculine.

Answer 2

Vengo dall'America is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "I'm from America." The present indicative verb, preposition combined with feminine singular definite article, and feminine proper noun translate literally into English as "I am coming (I'm coming, I come, I do come) from America." The pronunciation will be "VEN-go dal-la-MEY-ree-ka" in Italian.

Answer 3

[Io] vengo dalla Russia is an Italian equivalent of 'I am from Russia'. The words in Italian are pronounced '[EE-oh] VEHN-ghoh DEHL-lah ROOS-see-ah'.

In the word by word translation, the subject pronoun 'io'means 'I'. It doesn't have to be used, because the verb identifies the subject as the first person singular. The verb 'vengo'means '[I] am coming, come, do come'. The word 'dalla'combines the preposition 'da' and the definite article 'la', to form 'dalla' ['from the'].
