twìtter: ma kwànto è ùtile! TWITTER: MA QUANTO È UTILE! Twitter: but how_much is useful(=how useful it is!)! REALISING THE USEFULNESS OF TWITTER
Kwàlke méze fa ò konoshùto Twìtter, ma sólo néi jórni skórsi ò kapìto ezattaménte a kòza sèrve. Qualche mese fa ho conosciuto Twitter, ma solo nei giorni scorsi ho capito esattamente a cosa serve. Some month ago I_have known Twitter, but only in_the days past(~) I_have understood exactly to what it_serves. Some months ago I came to know about Twitter, but only in the last few days have I realised its usefulness.
Infàtti nón l'avévo mài uzàto fìno a kwàndo il mìo amìko Jin nón mi à invitàto a segwìrlo nél sùo sojjórno in Itàlya, durànte il sùo "Jirétto" (védi blòg preçedènte), pròpryo kón Twìtter. Infatti non_l'avevo_mai_usato fino_a quando il mio amico Gene non_mi_ha_invitato a seguirlo nel suo soggiorno in Italia, durante il suo "Giretto" (vedi blog precedente), proprio con Twitter. As_a_matter_of_fact I_had_never_used_it until when the my friend Gene hasn't_invited_me to follow_him in_the his stay in Italy, during the his "Small_tour" (see blog previous~), exactly with Twitter. As a matter of fact, I had never used it until one day my friend Gene asked me to follow him with Twitter along his journey through Italy during his "Giretto" (see my previous blog).
Kozì, gràtsye a Twìtter, tùtti i jórni trovàvo puntwalménte i swòi messàjji é venìvo informàta délle diffikoltà, déllhi imprevìsti, ma ànke délle jòye ké akkompannhàvano la sùa avventùra. Così, grazie a Twitter, tutti i giorni trovavo puntualmente i suoi messaggi e venivo informata delle difficoltà, degli imprevisti, ma anche delle gioie che accompagnavano la sua avventura. So, thanks to Twitter, all the days I_found(i) punctually the his messages and I came(i) informed (= I was informed) of_the difficulties, of_the unforeseen_events, but also of_the joys that accompanied(i) the his adventure. Every day, thanks to Twitter, I found his messages regularly and came to know of the difficulties and hitches, but also of the moments of joy he felt during his adventurous trip.
Inóltre, kòza mólto bèlla, potévo vedére immedyataménte i lwògi ké ló kolpìvano attravèrso lé fòto ké pubblikàva. Inoltre, cosa molto bella, potevo vedere immediatamente i luoghi che lo_colpivano attraverso le foto che pubblicava. Besides, thing very nice, I_was_able(i) to_see immediately the places that impressed(i)_him through the photos that he_published(i). Another wonderful thing was that I could immediately see the places which had impressed him through the photos which he published on the web.

Ora è tornato a casa negli USA, ma devo ringraziarlo per avermi_fatto_usare questo programma: anche se lontana, mi_sono_sentita davvero molto vicina a lui. Now he_is returned to home in_the USA, but I_have to_thank_him for having_let_me_use this program: even if far_away, I_felt(r) really very near to him. Now he has gone back to the USA, but I really must thank him for encouraging me to use Twitter. Even though I was far away, I really felt very near to him.
