[{"role": "user", "content": "I've been meaning to learn some basic Italian phrases for an upcoming trip, and I was wondering how to say 'Were you busy?' in Italian."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's a great phrase to know! The translation of 'Were you busy?' in Italian is 'Voi eravate impegnate?' If you want to use the more informal 'you', you can say 'Tu eri impegnato?' for a male or 'Tu eri impegnata?' for a female. But 'Voi eravate impegnate?' is a polite way to ask, suitable for most situations."}]
