How would I translate 'We were fired' into Italian?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm so sorry to hear that you have to deliver bad news. The translation of 'We were fired' in Italian is 'Fummo licenziate.' If you want to make it more formal, you can use 'Siamo stati licenziati' (male) or 'Siamo state licenziate' (female). However, 'Fummo licenziate.' is the most accurate translation of the sentence."}]
