The correct translation of 'I struggled' in Italian is actually 'Ebbi delle difficolt\u00e0.' or more commonly 'Ho lottato' for a more literal translation, but 'Ebbi delle difficolt\u00e0' is a more natural way to express that you struggled."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really helpful, thank you! Can you give me some more information about 'Ebbi delle difficolt\u00e0'? "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": " 'Ebbi delle difficolt\u00e0' is a phrase used to describe a situation where you faced challenges or obstacles. 'Ebbi' is the first person singular of 'ebbi', which means 'I had' and 'delle difficolt\u00e0' means'some difficulties'. "}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes sense. Is there any situation where I should use 'Ebbi delle difficolt\u00e0' instead of 'Ho lottato'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, 'Ebbi delle difficolt\u00e0' is more suitable in formal situations or when describing a specific challenging situation in the past.
