Ciao tutti: I’m not a real fan of soaps but this lesson provides a good context for the congiuntivo. And a bit of drama.
The last paragraph isn’t translated in the lesson PDF.
B: Sì ho paura. ho paura che risucceda. Che tu ritorni da Nicola, che tu ripensi a lui, a quello che avete condiviso, a quello che vuoi da lui. Il solo immaginare questa possibilità mi fa davvero troppo male. Ma... voglio una vita con te, in realtà non ci sono scelte da fare perché l`unica vita che abbia mai avuto l`ho avuta con te.
Is this close?
B: Yes I’m afraid. Afraid it would happen again. That you would return to Nicola, that you would think about him, about what you two had shared, about wanting him. To only imagine this possibility really makes me very ill. But.. I want a life with you, in truth there is no real choice to make because the only life that I have ever had, I had with you.
I’m not sure of the translation for : “(ripensi) a quello che vuoi da lui”

user2048,
Sorry about that. Perhaps we had some problems because the passage was so long! Anyway, the PDF has been corrected. Your translation is good! You should check it against the one in the PDF...
as for ripensi a lui... a quello che vuoi da lui think of the the phrase as being:
you think of him...
(you think) of what you want FROM him... etc
the preposition a tells us, like in the English construction, that we're still using the verb ripensare (+ a).

mi piace il topic della conversazione..il tradimento..mi dispiace di piu per i ragazzi che soffrono a causa di un tradimento da parte della loro fidanzata..e si..sfortunatamente..ma c'est la vie..mi ha commosso:) tutti ci ritroviamo un po' in questa storia..almeno quelli che riconoscono di averlo fatto..
P.S. Adoro il congiuntivo, tanto presente quanto passato e imperfetto..anche se..ci vogliono un po' di esercizi per capirlo bene..
Grazie !

Allegrina penso tu sia una delle poche che adora il congiuntivo!
Comunque è vero, quando hai imparato come usarlo diventa tuo ;-)
