[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm trying to learn Italian and I came across the sentence 'Tom denied that.'

What's the literal translation of 'l'ha negato'? Is it really 'that'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The phrase 'l'ha negato' is a bit more complex. 'L' is a direct object pronoun that means 'it', 'lo' is 'him', 'la' is 'her', and 'li' or 'le' are 'them'. 'Ha' is the third person singular of 'avere' in the present tense, which means 'has'. 'Negato' is the past participle of 'negare', which means 'to deny'. So, 'l'ha negato' literally means 'he/she/it has denied it'. The word 'that' is implied in the phrase, but it's not explicitly translated."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really interesting. Thank you for explaining it to me."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Prego! I'm happy to help you learn Italian. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask."}]
