[Italian Lesson] Time to move on.

È stato un bellissimo capitolo della nostra storia insieme, ma dobbiamo andare avanti.

A fun phrase that I learned a while back was “to close a chapter - chiudere un capitolo,” which is something that we say in English too. If you’re closing a chapter of anything in your life -- from romance to leaving your hometown -- this phrase is for you. 

Here are some examples. 

  • È stato un bellissimo capitolo della nostra storia insieme, ma dobbiamo andare avanti. - It was a beautiful chapter of our story together, but we need to move forward.

  • Non riesco a credere di aver frequentato quel ragazzo, Marco, per così tanto, ora devo chiudere quel capitolo bene. - I can’t believe that I dated that guy Marco for so long, but now I’ve got to close that chapter of my life well. 

  • Mi mancherà Rhode Island, ma devo chiudere questo capitolo nella mia vita perché voglio vivere in Italia. - I’ll miss Rhode Island, but I have to close this chapter of my life because I want to live in Italy.

Buono studio!

Un abbraccio,

Cher
