However, I want to note that the translation of 'Tom's repulsive' is quite strong and might come across as rude. The correct translation is 'Tom \u00e8 stomachevole.' If you're looking for a more subtle way to express your thoughts, I'd be happy to help you with alternative phrases."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see what you mean. I don't want to be too harsh, but at the same time, I want to be honest with my friend. What's the connotation of'stomachevole' in Italian?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "'Stomachevole' indeed has a strong negative connotation, implying that someone or something is extremely unpleasant or disgusting. If you're looking for a more nuanced approach, you could consider using phrases like 'Tom non mi piace molto' (I don't like Tom much) or 'Tom ha un carattere difficile' (Tom has a difficult personality). These expressions convey your sentiments without being overly harsh."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That helps, thank you! I think I'll go with 'Tom non mi piace molto'. It's more diplomatic and still conveys my feelings."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's a great choice! 'Tom non mi piace molto' is a more tactful way to express your dislike. If you need any more help or have any other questions, feel free to ask. Buona fortuna con la lettera! (Good luck with the letter!)"}]
