| Sep 26, 2019 at 14:53 | comment | added | Rad80 | In this case "ci" is pleonastic, which is why Google ignores it. This sentence construction ("ci lavori lui" rather than "lui lavori") stresses the fact that the speaker wants him ("lui") to be the one doing the work. For what it is worth, I agree with you that this in not a duplicate of the two questions linked. | |
| Sep 26, 2019 at 13:00 | comment | added | Alan Evangelista | Sorry, but the first linked question didn't answer my question at all. I understand that "ci" means "there", "us" or "à qualcosa" (the first one in "Ci sto arrivando serenamente", sentence in the first linked question), but none of these meanings seems to fit well in my example. For instance, if "ci" is "there", the translation would be "I want him to work there on everything". Either one works "there" or "on everything" and thus this translation seems very odd. Btw, I have tried to translate my example with Google Translate, but "ci" disappears in the translation. | |
