Is there a way to say that in Italian?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "To emphasize that something happens to you, you can use the phrase 'Mi capita spesso.' This adds the pronoun'mi' to indicate that it happens to you, and 'capita' is used to describe the action."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really useful to know. Are there any other variations of this phrase that I can use in different situations?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If you want to describe something that happens a lot in general, without specifying who it happens to, you can stick with 'Capita spesso.' However, if you want to describe something that has happened to you before, but you're not sure if it will happen again, you can use the phrase 'Mi \u00e8 capitato prima.' This phrase indicates that something happened to you in the past, but it's not a frequent occurrence."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I appreciate the additional information.
