However, a more common way to ask would be 'Hai molto da fare oggi?' which translates to 'Do you have a lot to do today?'"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really helpful, thank you! I was wondering if there's a difference in the translation depending on the gender of the person I'm asking?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, that's correct. In Italian, the adjective 'impegnato' (busy) changes depending on the gender of the person. For a female, you would use '\u00c8 impegnata oggi?' and for a male, you would use '\u00c8 impegnato oggi?'. This is because Italian adjectives agree with the gender of the noun they modify."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see, so if I want to ask a group of people if they're busy, how would I do that?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If you want to ask a group of people if they're busy, you can use 'Siete impegnati oggi?' for a mixed group or a group of males, and 'Siete impegnate oggi?' for a group of females. This way, you're using the plural form of the verb and adjective to address the group."}]
