    Free translation (as a rule): "Lo scrivere, l'attività in ambito pubblicitario e le relazioni pubbliche sembrano adattarsi perfettamente alla Vostra personalità"

    Qualche alternativa, sempre che ce ne sia bisogno...

    Attività legate alla scrittura, alla pubblicità e alle pubbliche relazioni sono perfettamente adatte a voi.

    Attività in ambito letterario, pubblicitario e di pubbliche relazioni sono perfettamente adatte a voi.

    Vostra - Voi - Siete ...(?)
    Shouldn't that be "sua", "Lei", "e"? It refers to one person not many.

    Wasn't Voi, Voialtri etc, Mussolini's invention to get rid of the form "Lei", making all equal?
    Didn't Italians make fun of such attempts at forced socialism calling Galileo, Galileo GaliVoi? Why do we still use it?... :cool:

    we still use it for different meaning.

    tua, tu, sei - is used speaking to people we know very well.

    sua, lei, è - is used speaking to people we do not know and as a matter of respect

    vostro/a, voi, siete - is used in formal speaking or writing or with very important people.

    the 3rd form isn't used very much but it is still used

    bye

    adesso non conosco il contesto in cui è scritto ma credo che tu debba considerare public relations work come un tutt'uno pertanto:

    quanto scritto (o lo scrivere), la promozione ed il lavoro relativo alle pubbliche relazioni si adatta bene a voi/lei/te

    Hum, call me ignorant all you want if I am wrong, but I think that's not the case. As far as my (conceded very patchy) knowledge of the language goes, the form "voi" when referring to one person was an attempt at eliminating the respectful Lei by the fascist in the thirties.

    Probably you are right about the fascist intent, I'm not so skill in historical matters.

    As to the use of "voi" in present days, I was only trying to explain that "voi" is still used though not often.

    If peolple write formal letters or a fax it's habit to use "voi" referring to the Company Name.

    If you talk (or write) to a politician you have to use "voi".

    I never meant to say you are ignorant. on the contrary you show better knowledge than mine in historical events.

    Bye

    In this case the 'voi' is kind of a generical plural, as it is normally in horoscopes: if I'm not wrong morris is translating a numerology book. The 'voi' here sounds absolutely neutral. My opinion of course. :) Ciao! Walnut

    Come ha detto walnut (forse gli stranieri non riescono a cogliere la sottigliezza), usare il pronome voi permette di non dover specificare il genere della persona a cui mi sto rivolgendo. Se uso il plurale, sarà il plurale maschile perchè è questa la regola:

    'Un uomo e una donna, stanchi di camminare...' (viene accordato al maschile)
    'Due donne, stanche di camminare...'
    'Una donna, stanca di camminare...'
    Un uomo, stanco di camminare'

    Now I got tired :p

    già, è una tortura chiamarsi Alfredo da quando Vasco Rossi ha scritto la canzoncina.

    Interessantissimo quanto si legge da queste parti.
    Siete grandi ragazzi.

    mi sarà molto utile la vostra competenza mentre leggerò nelle buie notti tempestose.
