Cultural Tip
Italian speakers appreciate directness, but in very formal business contexts it’s polite to add a softener, e.g., 'Potrebbe aiutarmi a trovare una soluzione?' Using 'subito' is perfectly natural, yet overusing it may sound demanding. Adjust the tone according to the relationship with your interlocutor.
