Ora can also be used for 'hour' but in this context, none whatsoever. Use either.
Grown up (two words) is an adjective. The noun for an adult is grown-up or grownup. But why give DL to recognise every possible variant when "adult" is so obvious and straightforward?
Possibly because there might be another word or phrase for grown up?? It's like mother and mum, we know that they are the same thing but we use different words. Maybe that's the same for adult and grown up.
That's very feasible, grown-up and adult do have different vibes to them
Some versions of this item place ora at the end. Does anyone know what the difference would be (in terms of meaning) and/or what the rule is for the placement of ora?
[QUESTION]
Is it also correct if we say "Sei ora un adulto"?
Grazie per le spiegazioni
Ora sei un alduto.. You stated earlier = Now I am an adult. .... Later... You stated...sei un adulto ora = You are an adult now.. You have reversed the two???
5 years later and still no answer as to why "Now you are an adult" is wrong. DL needs a module on sentence construction and word placement. Yeah, I know, it is free and I should look somewhere else for this.
and you're going to be an adult for the rest of your life.. ew, literally we became what we hated as a child
in british english you would rather say being grown-up rather than an adult
