    what's STAVO PER in english?



    There are different ways: To be about to/ to be on the point of/to be going to/to be ready to

    Es:Sto per uscire = I'm about to go out/I'm going out

    Your question would be more correct written in this way:
    How do you say "stavo per" in English? or "What's the English for "stavo per" ?

    you're right in both cases:)

    stavo per can be translated with "I was about to", i think, but I'm not sure.

    other opinions?

    really? wow!!!!!!!!!!
    when i was thinking about the right sentence, i was going to write in italian (this is what i'd have said). stop, let's change, let's speak about something else!

    Hi there lads and lassies, the teacher's back home, although the only time left for me on this computer lasts just... one hour at lunch!
    Yes me dears, I'm currently going to the beach from about half past 11 to 7 p.m. would you believe!!!
    Believe it or not, my nephew forced me to go to the beach right after Midsummer's day, so that I could play with him a bit, so I started following him and from that day on I never missed a day, now I'm wholly tanned, you should see me... 20 kilos more and all black!
    Yes, I know I should try and lose weight but, you know... eating is just like living after all, the more you want to swallow into your stomach the more you're hungry for life, that's how I feel about it.
    Anyway, I'll lose some weight, but only winter will erase this suntan from my skin, for God's sake!
    The only time left for me to switch my computer on is lunch time, I sometimes even skip Centovetrine and have to ask my mum about it...
    I think I'll keep on doing this for another month, after all I live in front of the seaside, September's a wonderful month (I hated it when I was a kid [SM=g27812] ...), the beach empties up and so many foreign tourists (mostly Swedes) come back after having left in July due to the fact they hate crowded places, believe me!
    So I don't know how long I'll have the chance to stay here now, all I know is that I'll try and keep updated and I'll be back for good by the end of this month, I swear!
    Bye bye mates!

    And... yes, it's "to be about to", although in Scotland we say "tae be aboot tae", funny accent... pronounce it like " te bi ebuut te" and you'll get it.
    You're all very good at English I have to say, I knew about (or aboot, as you like) Tania, I didn't know about the rest of yous ("yous" instead of "you" is another Scottish feature, don't mind).
    Let me pay my compliments, really.

    You'd have even more difficulties in understanding a word from the Cockneys (London) or the Scousers (Liverpool), believe me mate!
    The Scottish pronunciation in quite easy for the Italians, not only because of the rolling "r"s, but also because Italians and Scots have the same sistem of vowels in general, whereas the English do not. Have you ever heard some Englishman pronouncing the words "know", "now" or "play"? Believe me, Scots are more understandable...
    Aye (yes in Scots), I'm doing fine, I haven't received any phone call from some sort of school yet though! I'm waiting...
    Do have a warm (hopefully) and deep dive into the sea in late October, lim!
    My nephew is a light in my life, now even more than before, because he's learning what it means to be a moaner, just like all kids are, he's getting to know all the vices and vortues of being a kid, and this is what I call innocence. I'm proud of him.

    i've hated with all myself the PET (i don't know why, because of the teachers and the organization) so i decided not to obtain the FIRST and the following year i spent a french course (for obtaining the delf)
