Hi Bamsa,

I'm curious about all these short requests following the same style...why didn't you pack them in a single request so that it would have been easier to get the meaning?

You see...some of them are translated using the pronoun "it", others like this one, understands "him".
It would be useful to make clear about whom the sentences talk about. Whether a person or an object. See what I mean?

Hi lilian,

I don't know if it is about a person or an object. It is from one of those magnetic tings that you put on the fridge. You are right I should have put them in a single request.

But it is like this:

Regole della casa
Se é aperto, chindilo.
Se é per terra, raccoglilo.
Se é sporco, puliscilo.
Se ha fame, nutrilo.
Se é triste, amalo.

Maybe from this you can see if it is about an object or a person.

Well...if they are rules for the management of the house..they are probably commands on how to behave. (a students' hostel maybe...)

The first lines should refer to objects, but the last two (because of the verbs used) are probably talking about a person what doesn't make much sense.

But the translations (all) are correct the way they are.

Anyway, it wouldn't have made any difference gathering them in a sole request, the doubt would remain.
