[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm trying to practice my Italian skills and I'm having trouble with a sentence that describes someone's personality. Can you help me translate 'You were shy' into Italian?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The translation of 'You were shy' in Italian is 'Eravate timidi.' This is the correct way to express that someone was shy in the past, using the formal 'you' (voi). If you want to use the informal 'you' (tu), the translation would be 'Eri timido' (for a male) or 'Eri timida' (for a female)."}]
