Piacerebbe anche a me una sigaretta adesso.

Tutte e due non vanno insieme.Pinot said:What does "now too" mean in this sentence? Is it another way of saying "even at this moment" ?
Thanks
I know it's a very clumbsily constructed sentence Tim, but if you delete the 'now' you've changed the meaning of the sentence, haven't you? Or am I missing something.TimLA said:...voglio una sigaretta ora anche. (So che non è corretto in italiano)
...volio anche una sigaretta. (non perfetto, ma meglio in italiano)

Una virgola sarebbe meglio, ma non è necessario.Pinot said:grazie a tutti...

I think the phase is in response to someone who has said "I really want a cigarette right now", and the other person replies, "Me too!". That's the sense of it. In really horrible, antiquated English, you might rephase it as "I too would really like a cigarette right now".Pinot said:What does "now too" mean in this sentence?

As a BE, I respond with the following:moodywop said:A question for BE speakers. Why "could fancy" and not "would fancy"? You would say "I would like", not "I could like", in this context. Or is "could fancy" more like "I could really do with a cigarette right now"?
