What if I want to make it a bit more formal, is the translation the same?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, the translation 'Loro mi hanno rovinato la vita' is suitable for both formal and informal contexts. However, if you want to emphasize the formality, you could use 'Mi hanno rovinato la vita' and specify who 'they' are, if necessary."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see. So if I'm talking directly to the person or people who ruined my life, would I use a different sentence?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If you're addressing the person or people directly, you could use 'Voi mi avete rovinato la vita' for a more direct and informal tone, or 'Lei mi ha rovinato la vita' for a singular, more formal address, and 'Loro mi hanno rovinato la vita' remains a good option if you're speaking about them in the third person."}]
