So, if I want to say it to Tom directly, I would say 'Non ti lascerei mai, Tom'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's almost correct! If you want to say it directly to Tom, you would indeed use 'Non ti lascerei mai, Tom.' The addition of 'ti' is correct because it's the direct object pronoun for 'you' when speaking directly to the person."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see, so the 'ti' makes it more personal and direct. What if I'm talking about Tom to someone else, would I still use 'Non lascerei mai Tom'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Exactly! When speaking about Tom to someone else, you would use 'Non lascerei mai Tom' without the 'ti'. This way, you're expressing your loyalty to Tom in a third-person context, which is appropriate for conversations where Tom is not directly involved."}]
