"La traduzione deve essere pronta per l'altro ieri"
Literally: "The translation has to be ready for the day before yesterday".


Linguamania (thanks for your e-mails)
but on this case, I think rather:

"the other yesterday!!" - lit
"the day befor yesterday..." well translated.

The idea of another yesterday is funny ! (let's not confuse this with "the "I want it yesterday notion - different kettle of pece... See more

On the same note..

I asked an Italian if there was another 2moro..! he just kind of looked at me gone out. (obviously thought I had lost the plot!)
I haven't started talking about other yesterdays yet when speaking English, but I do use "do I disturb you!!!??" (doh!)
Always an eye-raiser (from thge italian "can you speak, is it a bad moment to speak.." etc)

Kind regards ▲ Collapse

Hello. Happy Monday. Well, I wouldn't use "non vedo l'ora..." in a formal way...say in a letter, etc. .....
