Thread: Italian Terminology

Hi all,

The verb “cliccare” is often used in Italian. But in a translation, is it better to use “fare clic”?

Thanks!!

Hi Ali, for a reason i really don't understand, in Italy every foreign word we like more than our (or sometime because we have never used it) suffers a process of italianization; this is an example.

"Cliccare" doesn't exist in Italian but is an italianization of the english verb " to click"; today this word is commonly used as as a normal verb (I click, you click, he clicks, we click, you click, they click became io clicco, tu clicchi, lui/lei/esso/essa clicca, noi clicchiamo, voi cliccate, essi cliccano) so you can use "cliccare instead" of "fare clic" in your transliction 'cause it sounds better.

Hiope this can help you.
