La traduzione, come metodo di esercizio nell’apprendimento di una lingua, farà sicuramente parte della vecchia scuola, però, inserita in un contesto più vario di apprendimento, soprattutto con feedback in tempo reale, può sempre essere un utile esercizio di allenamento.
Consiglio una partecipazione attiva e visibile postando la tua versione tra i commenti in fondo a questa pagina. In questo modo riceverai un mio commento o suggerimento in tempo più o meno reale. Ma per chi non se la sente, si può semplicemente annotare la propria versione e controllarla attraverso i miei commenti lasciati per gli altri.
Ecco la nuova frase:
Quanto tempo ancora pensi che ci vorrà per sistemare questa faccenda?
Buon divertimento!

Hi Luca.
I was expecting a different version for “quanto tempo ancora”, but yours is perfectly all right 🙂
There is another, perhaps more typical, version with a comparative at the beginning instead of “still”.
Have a think about it…

Hello prof,
How long do you think it still will take you to work out this issue?

Your version is possible, Roby, but you need to find a better position for “still” and I think I would use “sort out” rather than “work out” in this kind of situation.

OK, the first of these three, impersonal, is much better, but how about finding a way of avoiding “still” altogether?

Hi Nadia. I can see what you’re trying to do with your version, but it is a little confused, I’m afraid, and it’s probably not the most typical way of expressing this. I shall give you a version which uses your idea as much as possible so you can see where you went wrong. For the more typical version, have a look at some of the other comments.
Here’s what (I think) you were trying to say:
“How long do you think this issue is still going to take to be fixed?”

I’m afraid this question doesn’t work with “yet”, Claudio. The “ancora” is tied to “quanto tempo” and not to a verb. Think again…

Hi Anita. I was expecting a different version for “quanto tempo ancora”, but yours is perfectly all right.
Yes, I think “problem” might be more suitable at the end if you’re using “fix”. Obviously there are alternatives here, too.
Well done 🙂

“How much longer or how much time” could be better?
