The translation of 'I'm timid' in Italian is 'Io sono timido'."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really helpful, thank you. What's the difference between 'Io sono' and just 'Sono'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In Italian, you can say either 'Io sono' or just 'Sono'. Both are correct, but 'Io sono' is a more formal or emphatic way of saying it. In informal conversations, it's more common to say just 'Sono'. So, you could also say 'Sono timido' to express the same idea."}]
