In Italian, you can say 'Mi sono fermata.' if you're a female, or 'Mi sono fermato.' if you're a male. The phrase literally means 'I stopped myself,' but it's the most common way to express 'I stopped' in Italian."}, {"role": "user", "content": "What if I want to say it in the past? Do I need to change the verb?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, in Italian, you would use the verb 'fermar mi' in the passato prossimo tense, which is a compound tense used to describe completed actions in the past. For a female speaker, it would still be 'Mi sono fermata', but for a male speaker, it would still be 'Mi sono fermato'. The phrase remains the same for the passato prossimo tense."}]]
