"Ho un computer."

Translation: I have a computer.

[cervec]

Geez, this is going to be a hard word to remember...

[xyphax]

yeah, right? my word count just increased by one ;-)

[chupacabrando]

Question on the pronunciation: does that "u" sound like the "yu" in English, or it is flat, without the slide, as in "compooter"?

[ladypanda9048]

I think its the first way if I'm hearing her right.

[klinger_dinger]

How would you pluralise computer in italian?

[Laynio]

The hint says 'computer' can be translated as singular and plural. So it depends on the context. «Ho un computer» is singular because of the un.

[StanKing1]

I think most borrowed words are invariable.

[AeroDer1]

Why not "C'ho un computer?" I'm asking because I've heard an italian friend say that about other stuff (i e "C'ho una machina")

[mkhadi]

i thought computer in Italian is " compotadore"

[Katzenperson]

I assumed it was "computatore" or "computatrice" because "to compute" in Italian is "computare" and the original computers before they were machines were people (usually women) who performed calculations.

[PHN04]

It's still a thing in Italy. Lots of people don't have even one.

Costa cara.

[StanKing1]

Are you sure that's right? "Costs expensive"?
