✕Common Mistakes

  • Può dare le info vitali.

    Adding the article ‘le’ before ‘info’ is unnecessary because ‘info’ is already a plural noun used without an article in this construction.

  • Può dare info vital.

    Do not translate ‘vitali’ as ‘vital’ (English adjective) in the Italian sentence; keep the Italian adjective ‘vitali’.

  • Può fornire info vitali.

    In very formal contexts you might prefer ‘fornire’ instead of ‘dare’, but ‘dare’ is perfectly acceptable in spoken Italian.

↔Alternatives

  • Può fornire informazioni cruciali.

    Can provide crucial information.

  • È in grado di dare dati essenziali.

    Is able to give essential data.

  • Può trasmettere le informazioni vitali?

    Can you transmit the vital information?

Cultural Tip

‘Info’ is a very common, informal shortcut in spoken Italian and on the web, but in formal writing you should use ‘informazioni’. Also, ‘vitali’ sounds slightly technical; in everyday conversation you might hear ‘importanti’ or ‘cruciali’ instead.
