Q

I don’t agree with you on this point

A

Non sono (proprio) d’accordo con te/con questo punto.»

If you say this, you are not saying that you totally disagree with the other person’s idea, but rather that you partially agree with what they have just said and that there is only a little piece of the discourse with which you disagree.

Indeed, using the adverb “proprio” is a great way to mitigate the tension of expressing contradictions and let the interlocutor down the guard.

Q

please!, I beg you! mind you!

A

mi raccomando!

This is another lovely Italian expression which is somehow untranslatable. It is used as a mix between warning and advice but also to beg someone to be careful before something dangerous or important. Normally, whoever says it wants to show trust towards the other person but also alert them of the importance of what lies ahead. In this episode, Mark mentioned his Mum who was worried about him because he had to drive late at night and said:
Mi raccomando: stai attento per strada!
Please, be careful on the road!
Mi raccomando: guida con prudenza!
Please, drive safely!
It’s also possible to just say: mi raccomando! Usually the interlocutors are aware of the context and it’s intended what this exclamation refers to.
