The translation of 'You're needy' in Italian is 'Lei \u00e8 bisognosa'. However, keep in mind that 'Lei' is a formal way to address someone. If you're speaking to a friend, you might want to use 'Tu' instead, so the phrase would be 'Tu sei bisognoso' (male) or 'Tu sei bisognosa' (female)."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's helpful to know.
