So ....?

Will someone please tell me if "cosi" can be translated in different ways? I've always thought it was "so" in all its forms, but are there more translations/usages?

Ciao Chuck, "cosi" can have different meanings in Italian. Some of the most used are: -"so" as for example "lui non era in casa cosi' sono tornata a casa"= "he was not at home so I went back home" -"like this" ("in this way") as for example: "la finestra si apre cosi' "="the widows opens like this" I hope this helps. Ciao

Ciao Chuck, Here are two more for cosi.' Lei e' cosi' simpatica. She is so nice. Basta cosi'! That's enough! Ciao Filippo

what is the difference between 'basta' and 'abbastanza"?

Grazie Phillip per il tuo messaggio! "enough" in Italian can be translated in two different ways: -"basta" is more used for a command, to tell someone to stop doing something. Example: "basta cosi'" (that's enough) -"abbastanza" is more used with the meaning of "sufficiently" Example: "Roberto sta abbastanza bene" (Roberto is well enough) I hope this helps. Ciao :)
