The direct translation of 'You're so stupid' in Italian is 'Voi siete cos\u00ec stupidi.' However, I would advise against using this phrase as it can come across as very insulting. A more polite way to express frustration might be 'Non capisco la tua scelta' which means 'I don't understand your choice.' Alternatively, you could say 'Mi sembra una decisione sbagliata' which translates to 'It seems like a wrong decision to me.'"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really helpful, thank you! I think I'll use one of the more polite phrases you suggested. But just out of curiosity, if I did want to use the direct translation, how would I say 'You're so stupid' in Italian?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "As I mentioned earlier, the direct translation is 'Voi siete cos\u00ec stupidi.' Please keep in mind that this phrase is quite strong and should be used with caution, as it can be very hurtful. It's generally better to opt for more considerate language when communicating with others."}]
