[[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm trying to learn Italian and I came across the sentence 'They were very poor.' Can you help me translate it into Italian so I can better understand how to express this idea in the language?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The translation of 'They were very poor' into Italian is 'Loro erano molto povere.' This sentence is in the feminine plural form, but if you're referring to a group of people that includes at least one male, you would use 'Loro erano molto poveri' instead, as Italian adjectives must agree with the subject in gender and number."}]]
