| Dec 2, 2020 at 11:49 | comment | added | Bob | @user2723984 well, my scenario is that we discuss tasks in our meetings and normally I want to say I do it/ I will do it, so after this answer, I use "faccio io" and I hope it is the correct approach. | |
| Dec 1, 2020 at 10:53 | comment | added | user2723984 | @Bob Maybe it's obvious, but it's worth also noting that "Io faccio", while it can be translated with "I do", does not always have the same meaning of "I do" because "fare" does not have the same auxiliary use in Italian that it has in English. (E.g. you can't translate "Do you want to go shopping? I do!" with "Vuoi andare a far compere? Lo faccio!", that doesn't make sense, but you can translate e.g. "I do a lot of things" with "(Io) faccio molte cose"). Another possible translation is "I make". | |
