to tweet

Ciao!

come posso tradurre in Italiano questa frase:

His washing machine tweets when a load of clothes is done.

Grazie!

tweets? You mean it "buzzes" when the clothes are done (usually a dryer). I found the noun "cicalino". But I'm not sure how you would translate it into a verb...

Credo che ti convenga ricorrere a un generico 'emette un suono/segnale acustico'...

Grazie a tutti!

Hi everybody, I just wanted to know what "to tweet" means. Does it mean to utter gossips? Here's the sentence:
Within minutes of the argument, Mr Campbell used his Twitter account to give his take on the exchange.
He tweeted: ‘Really worried about Adam Boulton . . . Wonder if he might need some of my pills. Anji ought to come home from her foreign trip.’

He tweeted just means he used twittered. It's the verb that goes with Twitter, instead of saying texted, or typed, or punched in, etc.

Or both.
Extremely common here in America.
Many people follow the activities of each other by "tweeting" - it's a way to keep in touch with others on your tweet list.

PP: tweeted
Gerund: tweeting
I tweet___________we tweet
You tweet_________You tweet
He/she/it tweets____They tweet

Come si dice in italiano "to tweet" nel senso di usare twitter? C'è un verbo o si direbbe semplicemente "usare twitter"?

Grazie

twittare
Just like the "old" chattare

EDIT: Anyway, if you post a whole sentence, that would help. You can say "usare twitter", "stare su twitter" etc, according to the context.

 

[Snowgum]

Of course! Twittare!
