The translation of 'Tom called me' in Italian is 'Mi ha chiamato Tom'. However, if you're a female speaker, the correct translation would be 'Mi ha chiamata Tom'.

When the subject is male, the verb ending is '-o' (chiamato), but when the subject is female, the verb ending changes to '-a' (chiamata). This is a common rule in Italian verb conjugation."}]
