What would be the meaning of the expression
"Ci tengo a precisare che"?
Google Translator is giving me this expression as a translation of
"I would like to point out that..."
The translation does not seem to be literal. It seems like a idiomatic expression of some sort.
I am sorry if my question is too obvious. I am a beginner learner of Italian.
The translation is pretty good, although "Ci tengo a precisare che" is a mildly strong expression that "I would like to point out that..." does not catch perfectly, at least in my opinion.
A slightly better translation could be something like "I care to point out that..."
