Could you help me translate that into Italian?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The translation of 'They were killed' in Italian is 'Sono state uccise.' If you're referring to a group of males or a mixed group, the correct translation would be 'Sono stati uccisi.' However, since you mentioned 'They were killed' without specifying the gender, I provided the feminine translation, but please let me know if you need more specific information."}]
