"Il coltello taglia."

Translation: The knife cuts.

[trizzy.stan]

Pure poetry.

[PugLove888]

I keep hearing in my mind the '80's Bryan Adams' song "It cuts like a knife". But that would be another translation, and my Italian is not advanced enough to translate it. :p

[EricPerson1]

Taglia come un coltello

[idanlipin]

If it wouldn't, it would be a really bad one.

[JuanBarrag6]

Il coltello taglia REALLY? xD

[Ikaras1203]

.....OOOH MY GOD ITS SENTIENT

[sunshinesomogyi]

This is why im learning Italian, and my best friend was Italian. This sentence is so rythmic and poetry like; love it

[Casperello]

can I just ask why it's ''taglia'' and not ''taglio'' for example? (beginner!)

[italianolearning]

taglio would be used to say "I cut"
taglia would be for "he/she/it cuts"

[awesomewhovian]

Wow this is really a unique knife if only i had one that cuts.

[IaisSimon]

LOL :))))))

[Lorena_R98]

but words cut deeper

[GaborBihary]

Why "The knife is cutting." is marked wrong?

[JewishPolyglot]

Is this also a way of saying "the knife is sharp?"

[jaiirapetjan]

No, that would be "Il coltello è affilato."

[JewishPolyglot]

Thanks! Have a lingot

[jaiirapetjan]

Prego!

[Justin307960]

An earlier question said a knife was "una lama". Are there two words for a knife?

[An_dz]

Lama is better translated as blade, aka anything that cuts.

Example:
La lama di questo coltello è molto affilata.
(The blade of this knife is very sharp)

[Tusks95]

Water is wet

[arphon]

I wrote "the blade cuts". guess what it said.

[merzy7]

Hmmmm

[CatMilk1]

Sounds like some sort of Disney fantasy

[__PinkDragon__]

Gooood to know! :P

[iiZachIverson]

It sure does.

[ettaclemz]

Bravo Sherlock, yet another acute observation.

[DrWholockHolmes]

Uhhhhhh...WHAT?! You're talking to a Sherlock fan here

[Allie.Duckienz]

OMG, I cannot pronounce 'coltello' apparently. No matter how much I try, my mac mic doesn't recognise it at all :(

[EspaTalia]

I don't even try using the mic on mine. What I can't stand is how I can only understand the first few words the woman says.

[InesDelgado95]

oh wow captain obvious

[lordofrivendell]

As opposed to... cuddling?

[Jacqueline677846]

This sentence translated to 'They'll be back in one hour ' lol

[meandmyshadow0]

I put taglia, into a translater, and lt supplied the translation, of the word size

[VladimF]

Why "The knife is cutting." is marked wrong?

[Erated8]

How Would You Say "The Cutting Knife"? (Either Specifying A Knife Made For Cutting, Or One Currently In The Process Of Cutting, Would Those Be Said Differently In Italian?)

[tefalovesminhee]

Really inspirational XD

[S3r3ndipity]

That's what my finger learned too last weekend!
