Please, how would say the following sentence in italian?
"I welcome you all to this celebration"
"I welcome you all to this celebration"
I welcome you all to this celebration
- Thread starter mekas
- Start date
Couldn't you also say "Benvenuti a questa cerimonia?"uinni said:
... but you lose the "all" part... 
That would be understood surely. You would hardly be welcoming just a few people and not the rest.AlxGrim said:... but you lose the "all" part...
Yes, you're quite right, it's just that "Do a tutti voi il benvenuto a questa cerimonia" sounds a little laboured to me. Maybe it's just that my ear is more accustomed to hearing English. Could you say "Benvenuti a tutti a questa cerimonia"?lsp said:
Of course I didn't mean you are welcoming only a part of the audience. I was just saying that you dropped the word "all" in the translation, in fact changing the original sentence. But, as you said, you CAN do it as an alternative.
