Don't know, but from the context in this sentence, to arrive means something else than come - to arrive: to get to sb. right in the moment - to come: to get to sb. (in the past, present or future) - e.g. you can ask: Who sent you this recipe? answer: It comes from the men. But I admit it's very vague and unclear.

When do we use "de" forms and when "da" forms? Why is "degli uomini" incorrect here?

"degli uomini" means "of the men" (the "di" transforms to "de") "dagli uomini" means "from the men"

Does anyone else give a huge cheer when they get something right, and didn't realise they knew how to translate something? My neighbourhood rings with my whoops of delight when I get is right! They must think I'm mad.
