[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm trying to learn Italian and I'm stuck on the sentence \"Were you alone?\" Can you help me translate it?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Certo! The Italian translation of 'Were you alone?' is 'Era da sola?' if you are referring to a female, or 'Era da solo?' if you are referring to a male. However, in some contexts, especially in informal or poetic language, 'Era solo?' can be used for both male and female, but it's more common to use 'Era da solo?' for male and 'Era da sola?' for female."}]
