"Voglio un matrimonio perfetto."

Translation: I want a perfect wedding.

[dwarven_hydra]

Good luck with that.

[LindaB_Duolingo]

I think the phrase is - nozze al mattino, omicidio nel pomeriggio ... or something similar. :)

[niobecat]

My thought exactly!

[SofieJones798]

Veramente

[CreyB]

Could be worse.
At least it wasn't "voglio un marito perfetto"

[Fran975881]

My wife just said that!!!!

[Martin135869]

Il marito perfetto è gia sposato alla tua sorella :P

[kysernj]

"Matrimonio" seems to mean both wedding and marriage. In English, "I want a perfect marriage" would be a quite different statement from "I want a perfect wedding." How would one express the difference in Italian? Or must the listener distinguish on the basis of context?

[Pier_Golfoz]

Wedding = cerimonia (nuziale)
Wedding reception = ricevimento
Married life = vita matrimoniale

in everyday speech it is always MATRIMONIO

Just an interesting fact - in Slovak there are three different terms for this:
sobáš - the act where you sign a paper and exchange rings and kiss etc;
svadba - the big party after sobáš where you eat and dance;
manželstvo - married life.

Our life is truly hard.

[ChoraPoetka]

Yep, same in Polish. Though, to be honest I think that it only makes things simple ;)

[442doBeograda]

Same in Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian.

Bit late at the party but my thought too

[maran999]

Don't we all.

[Andrew420270]

Can anyone tell me why you say il matrimonio perfetto but il famoso matrimonio? Why are they after and before "matrimonio "?
I put famoso after matrimonio in another answer and was incorrect. The correct position was before???

[Pier_Golfoz]

Most adjectives go after the noun, but there are several exceptions and some adjectives can go either before and after the noun

Oh, the wistfulness in the voice...

[ajdjr73]

there is NO SUCH THING as a Perfect Marriage

[Libellule808]

The "un" wasn't even audible.

[david.riga]

Yeah, she speeds through a lot. And if you click the slower one she sounds so condescending.

[Floriss_]

Why is matrimony not accepted since matrimony and marriage both mean the same thing?

[Benjamin128901]

High maintenance, walk away son.

I mean, have you ever heard of Twilight?

[herredave]

Just keep working at it. After 50 years, you may have that perfect marriage. Or not!

[KarenMcCann51]

Can anyone actually hear this lady pronouncing 'f'? Her diction is shocking!

[darkfireeyes7]

No such thing

Duo, if you didn't have such an UTTER grump of a character whose voice is both miserable and often hard to understand, she might. But I'm not so sure...
