"Manca una settimana al mio compleanno."

Translation: A week is left before my birthday.

[ecattell]

I'm beginning to hate manca.

[withanie]

Hey! There actually IS only a week until my birthday! :)

[Angelohitman]

Happy Birthday! Auguri!

Is it possible to use "finche" here, and how the sentences would be different ?

[MABBY]

As in, "it is a week until my birthday". Which makes more sense to me than having a week missing before your birthday. I'll give it a try:

E una settimana finche il mio compleanno

[ferynn]

Yeah, that's what I used last time. I think it counted me wrong though...

[ckyle8]

How are we supposed to get this? All the suggestions say "to miss!"

[tango-alpha]

My answer was "one week left until my birthday." Shouldn't that be accepted?

[annwolfe624]

Why not "E una settimana....." ?

[valerianna]

why not 'it lacks a week to my birthday' clumsy but clear. and I do hate mancare.

I put "he misses a weekend to my birthday" and it was accepted. As a native English speaker, I interpreted this sentence as "he won't be available this weekend because he's going to my birthday"
