I would use "mi va".
Mi va d'una Pepsi.
I feel like [having a] Pepsi.
(Strange wording for the Italian language: I don't know now, but at least until the late '80s, in Italy you'd order a Coke, they'd served you a Pepsi and, if you said you ordered a Coke, they'd answer: "È lo stesso")
Ti va di andare al cinema?
Do you feel like going to the movies?
Ah, Raphillon, using an example that involves sex is a great way to help me remember it!
So, in other words, after your party, once you had gone home with your girlfriend and had sex a few times, your girlfriend could have said, "Te la senti di fare l'amore una volta piu'?"...right?
fbaezer:
Yes, it's because of spanish that I feel weird just changing the accent from syllable to syllable without any ortographic accents.
Raphilion:
Thanks for your examples.
What's the difference between a short vowel and a long one?
Quote:wile it is formally correct to say:
while = during a certain time
wile = verb or noun of trick, deceive
...vowel (is this the correct translation of "vocale"?)
You should try it: try to pronunce an "a" opening the mouth the minimum you can and then the maximum and see how they sound very different.
This is also a big difference between the various region in Italy: southern people tend to pronunce closed vowels, northern people tend to pronunce open ones, with a little trining you can say where does an Italian come from just hearing how he pronunces vowels

Okay, now I'm going to try to help a little bit with your english.
Ti ringrazio le correzioni, Raphillon.
Italians still can't tell a Coke from a Pepsi .
Well, Americans still can't tell a common Barolo from a good Valpolicella .
Did you know that Modenese wine makers used to inject fizz unto the Lambrusco that was to be exported to the USA? "Mentre più somiglia alla Coca-Cola, più ne vogliono".
I'm not really an expert about wines, but I do appreciate to taste some good one when I have the occasion, I prefer wines from the south, generally, a good primitivo di manduria or falanghina del taburno... very good :wink:
Yes, that is the only Lambrusco I've had, and that was with Chinese food in Los Angeles. Pfui.
On second thought, I might have had a glass of Lambrusco in Modena...
