"Tra un mese"
Translation:In a month
21 CommentsThis discussion is locked.
French has slightly similar logic in expressions like "d'ici quelques mois" - word for word translation "from here/now some months", meaning "within a few months, in a few months' time". French expresses the beginning of the period, Italian the end. The logic of a language is not the same as formal logic:)

Can you say 'A un mese'? Or 'In un mese', or 'nel un mese'. A few explanations would be handy - thanks!

When should we use tra, and when - fra? I looked up in a dictionary, and it gives very similar meanings.

Does this mean within a month? For example: The project will be completed within the month.

I think that too, but I want a native speaker to chime in... I'm thinking it is within a month....
