If you're a male speaker, you would say 'Io voglio essere sentito.' However, since you didn't specify the gender, I provided the female form of the sentence."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really helpful, thank you! What if I want to say it in a more casual setting, like with a friend? Is there a difference?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In casual settings with friends, the translation 'Io voglio essere sentita' or 'Io voglio essere sentito' still applies. Italians tend to use formal language when speaking to people they don't know well, but with friends, the language remains largely the same. Just keep in mind the gender difference as I mentioned earlier."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see, so the sentence remains the same in both formal and informal settings. What about in writing, like texting or emailing?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "When texting or emailing, you can still use 'Io voglio essere sentita' or 'Io voglio essere sentito.' However, in very informal texting, Italians might shorten it or use more casual language. But for clarity and to ensure your message is understood, 'Io voglio essere sentita' or 'Io voglio essere sentito' is safe to use."}]]
