"Non ho questo timore."

Translation: I do not have this fear.

[dnovinc]

Qual'è la differenza fra il timore e la paura ? Perché entrambe significano "the fear" in inglese.

[f.formica]

Timore is a milder, less scared and more respectful fear; "avere timor di Dio" for instance refers to being observant and respectful of the Christian religion, rather than actually being afraid of God. "Incutere timore" means looking or behaving in a way that makes people submissive, while "incutere paura" means being actually scary.

In many uses they are actually synonyms though.

[travel.linguist]

You are learning German.
In that language, "timore" would be "Furcht" and "paura" would be "Angst.
Or just like in English "fear" and "afraidness".

[LynnSerafi]

Or "timidness" which is probably cognate with "timore".

[Jeff_Alfa]

We would likely use "timidity"

Just to let you know Beatles Musician, afraidness is not a word in English. I thought I would tell you since I can see you are on a current streak and can see you are at level 10 in English.

Afraidness: "The state or quality of being afraid." Oxford English Dictionary

[ColinDocke1]

Never used

[sebastian852710]

Das deutsche Wort "Befürchtung" trifft es hier am besten.
"Diese Befürchtung habe ich nicht." means: I do not see the same dangers as you. / your fear is not justified.

[GScottOliver]

I wonder if "I am not afraid of this" is acceptable? Next time, maybe.

Update: Nope. 2016/04/12

[Flysalot]

That was my question too.

The thing is - would Italians say "I'm not afraid of this" in a different way? If they would use this same sentence, then it should be accepted.

[Lng52-._]

GScottOliver: "Non ho paura di questo" might be correct translation for "I'm not afraid of this."

[davide691]

worry?

[mgarado]

Okay, None of the translations make a lot of sense in actual translation, but i translated it as "I have not this fear" which is literally correct, but really old fashioned sounding. It was marked incorrect and I was wondering why and if I should report it? What do you think??

[davide691]

I’d say definitely not, as you’d never say "I have not something" (whatever that something is). It’s “I don’t have..."

[Mico_di_Ostia]

Is there any difference in meaning between "I do not fear this" and "I do not have this fear"? I don't think so...

[davide691]

I think there could be a subtle difference. In the former, you’re specifying what the fear is of - “this”; in the latter, you’re specifying the type of fear - “this fear”. Maybe?

[Dev502125]

native English speaker agrees.

[JoshuaKnic]

I had to maximise the volume on my phone in order to clearly hear that last word. Makes the listening exercises kind of hard

[torreemanuele6]

Why isn't "I have not this fear" correct?

[Flysalot]

It's not the right word order for the English. I do not have this fear is the correct order.
You could also say "I have not got this fear"

Speaking of phobias, read this silly phobia:
Anatidaephobia. A person suffering from this condition feels that somewhere in the world, a duck or a goose is watching him/her (not attacking or touching, simply watching the individual).
