[[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm trying to learn Italian and I'm stuck on the sentence 'She went.' I'd like to know how to say the phrase 'She went' when referring to something in the past where 'went' doesn't necessarily mean movement but rather 'to go' as in 'to pass', for example as in 'She went', in the sense that she passed away, in Italian."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In Italian, when 'went' is used to mean 'to pass away,' we use a different verb. However, in the case of the sentence 'She went blind,' we use the verb 'divenne.' The correct translation of 'She went blind' is indeed 'Lei divenne cieca.' The verb 'divenne' is the correct translation of 'went' in this context, implying a change of state."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's great, thank you for explaining. So, 'divenne' is used for a change of state, but what if I want to say 'She went blind' in a more literal sense, like she lost her sight, is 'divenne' still the right choice?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Even in a more literal sense, 'Lei divenne cieca' is still the correct translation of 'She went blind.' The verb 'divenne' is used to describe a change of state, and in this case, the change from having sight to losing it. If you want to emphasize the process of losing sight, you could say 'Lei perse la vista' (She lost her sight), but 'divenne cieca' is a more common and idiomatic way to express the idea."}]]
