Those Durned Prepositions
They are extremely tricky to get down in any new language. I've just bought a guide to Italian prepositions, and in it I have discovered that, depending upon the context, the following translations of Italian prepositions into English are possible (and this is at a minimum -- I assume there are possibilities I have not yet discovered):
a --> with, by, at, to, because, per
di --> at, by, from, in, around, of, with
da --> from, to, because of, for, as, by, with
in --> after, at, in, inwards, from, on, to
per --> for, through, to, by, because, because of
su --> about, around, in, on, up, upward
tra --> amid, among, between, for, in, of
Ooh boy.
