The translation of 'Are you brave?' in Italian is 'Siete coraggiosi?' if you're addressing a group of people, or 'Sei coraggioso?' if you're addressing a single person. However, if you want to convey a more formal tone, you can use '\u00c8 coraggioso?' or '\u00c8 coraggiosa?' depending on the subject's gender."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I would like to know more about the Italian language, especially when to use formal or informal forms."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In Italian, we use the formal form when addressing people we don't know well, especially if they're older than us or in a position of authority. We use the informal form with friends, family, and people we're familiar with. For example, if you're writing about a character who's talking to their friend, you would use the informal form 'Sei coraggioso?' But if the character is talking to a stranger or someone they want to show respect to, you would use the formal form '\u00c8 coraggioso?' or 'Siete coraggiosi?' if addressing a group."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really helpful, thank you! What's the difference between 'coraggioso' and 'coraggiosi'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In Italian, 'coraggioso' is the singular form of the adjective, used to describe one person or thing. 'Coraggiosi', on the other hand, is the plural form, used to describe multiple people or things. So, 'Siete coraggiosi?' is the correct translation of 'Are you brave?' when addressing a group of people."}]
