Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The word tranne is used to indicate an exception or exclusion in a sentence. It is often followed by the preposition da, which means 'from', to specify the excluded element. For example, 'Tutti sono andati alla festa, tranne Maria' translates to 'Everyone went to the party, except Maria'. In this case, tranne is used to exclude Maria from the group of people who went to the party.
Tranne can also be used without the preposition da when the excluded element is already clear from the context. For instance, 'Ho comprato tutto il necessario per la cena, tranne il vino' means 'I bought everything necessary for dinner, except for the wine'. Here, tranne is used to indicate that wine was not included in the items purchased for dinner.
It's important to note that tranne can be used with both singular and plural nouns. When used with a singular noun, it agrees in gender and number with the noun. For example, 'Ho invitato tutti i miei amici, tranne una persona' translates to 'I invited all my friends, except one person'. In this case, tranne agrees with the feminine singular noun persona.
