If you want to make it sound even more casual, the translation remains the same, but you can use a more relaxed tone when saying it."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I appreciate your help. Is there anything else I should know about expressing feelings in Italian?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, Italians tend to be expressive with their emotions, so being sincere and open usually goes well.
