Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The word tale is often used in Italian language to make comparisons between two things. For example, if you want to say that a car is as fast as a motorcycle, you can use the phrase 'la macchina è veloce come la moto'. However, it is more common to use the adjective tale instead of the phrase 'come la', resulting in 'la macchina è veloce tale la moto'. This makes the sentence shorter and more concise.
Tale can also be used to express emphasis or exaggeration. For instance, if someone says 'ho mangiato tanto cibo', meaning 'I ate a lot of food', you can respond with 'tanto tale da non potermi muovere', which translates to 'so much that I cannot move'. In this case, tale adds emphasis to the amount of food eaten.
It's important to note that the use of tale depends on the gender and number of the noun it refers to. For example, if you want to say 'he is such a good boy', you would say 'è un bravo ragazzo tale'. However, if you were referring to a girl, you would say 'è una brava ragazza tale'. Similarly, if you were talking about multiple boys, you would say 'sono dei bravi ragazzi tali', while for multiple girls it would be 'sono delle brave ragazze tali'.
