"Non si può portare di più."

Translation: One cannot take more.

[ackworth]

I thought that 'si' meant himself, herself, oneself .... Is 'si' a stand-in for 'we'as well?

[f.formica]

Si has two main purposes: one is reflexive, and the other is impersonal. In this case it's the latter, "one can't carry more" or "you can't carry any more"; they often don't sound as good in English and using a passive form is better.

Thanks, but why exactly is "He cannot carry any more" wrong? Would that be just "Non può portare di più"?

[ackworth]

grazie!

[scontrino]

why not possiamo?
