Q

you didn’t validate the ticket, i have to fine you. you apologise and explain that you didnt know that you had to do that in Italy. I got here late i was because the buses in firenze were on strike. please don’t give me a fine.

A

Mi dispiace, ma non sapevo che in Italia e’ necessaro convalidare il biglietto. Sono irlandese e in Irlanda non e’ cosi.
In piu’ sono arrivata in ritardo in stazione perche’ ce’ lo sciopero degli autobus a Firenze.
Per favore, La prego, non Mi dia una multa.

Q

Damn! Oh m god! its really expensive! I don’t have enough cash with me! Can I pay by credit card, is it possible to receive a fine at home by post?

A

Accidenti! Mamma mia! E’ molto caro! Non ho abbastanza contanti con me.
Posso pagare con la carta di credito o e’ possibile ricevere la multa a casa tramite la posta?

A

Bene, La ringrazio. Ma sono molto triste di dovere pagare una multa. Sono una studentessa e non ho molti soldi. Sono in Italia per studiare l’Italiano e non conosco bene le leggi di questo paese.
