Cultural Tip
In Italian professional communication, direct commands like 'Dettaglia...' are common and generally not considered rude, especially when addressing colleagues or subordinates with whom you have an informal relationship. However, adding 'per favore' (please) can always soften the tone. The choice between 'tuo' (informal 'your') and 'suo' (formal 'your' or 'his/her') is crucial and depends on the level of familiarity and hierarchy in the workplace.
