    I think "assunto" would be better translated as "matter".

    My dictionary translates assunto as subject,matter or plot. So I imagine it would really depend on the situation to which it refers. Tough stuff this indeed is without a tutor!

      Agreed, unless the context is school-related.

        Shouldn't "affair" also be a good translation for "assunto"?

          That could work... but not for all meanings of the word "affair."
