[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm trying to learn Italian and I need some help with a sentence that might be considered impolite. Can you translate 'Are you retarded?' into Italian, and also let me know if there's a more polite or sensitive way to phrase it?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The translation of 'Are you retarded?' in Italian is indeed '\u00c8 ritardato?'. However, I must advise you that using this term can be considered highly offensive and stigmatizing. In Italian, as in English, it's essential to use respectful language when referring to individuals with intellectual disabilities. A more polite and sensitive way to phrase it would be 'Ha una disabilit\u00e0 intellettiva?' which translates to 'Does he/she have an intellectual disability?'"}]
