@ eruworld
"mi" and "a me" are repetitions. So u can say "mi assomiglio" or "assomiglio a me". Anyway I think it's a cool answer ;-) I'm not like anyone, I'm like me! lol!

Io, assomiglio a mia mamma, e anche a una delle mie zie (la sorella di mio papà),
ma tutti mi dicono che assomiglio a Julia Roberts!!! Penso perché ho una bocca grande come lei, e quando sorrido(quasi sempre) si vede tutti i miei denti!!!! :D
(se ho fatto un errore in scrivere, correggetemi per favore)
Grazie ancora

ciao daboone,
in this case we use a double negative:
non assomiglio a nessuno
ciao maryam86,
hai fatto solo un piccolo errore:
quando sorrido si vedono tutti i miei denti

nessuno is no one? it can be nessum too? because that music "nessum dorma" means "no one shall sleep".

The aria is "Nessun dorma".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nessun_dorma
Nessuno behaves like "uno" when it precedes a noun. I don't know why 'o' is omitted here. Artistic license, perhaps?

Tjgolubi, thank you for the link :-)
You are right, the omission of "o" in nessuno is kind of "artistic license". It often happens in poetry and songs that the last letter of the word is omitted.
For example cuore often becomes cuor, amore becomes amor, and in this case it just sounds better to sing Nessun dorma instead of Nessuno dorma

E'incredibile come Luca sia infiltrato nella mia vita.
It`s incredible how Luca has infiltrated my life. 1 (It`s incredible how Luca has infiltrated my life.)
Hi,
The Italian sentence uses 'sia' but when spoken she says something like 'sisi'. Can anyone explain please?
