Can you tell me a bit more about the sentence structure?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In Italian, the verb 'to be' is 'essere'. When you're asking about a relationship like friendship, you use the verb 'essere' in the present tense, which becomes'siamo'. Then you add the noun 'amici', which means 'friends'. So, 'Siamo amici?' is a literal translation of 'Are we friends?'"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see!

(Yes, we are friends!). If you want to say that you're not friends, you can say 'No, non siamo amici.'"}]
