Tizio didn't know of a translation for the old chestnut:
"get in the van!"
...as he said Italian didn't have our cool word, "GET!"
Think about it, what does 'get' mean? exactly.
Get some sleep. Get me the map. Get Smart!
In German Gabriel blows a trombone, in English a trumpet! How to ever 'get' anything right.
I am not much of a linguist or hard-thinker in the philosophical sense, but I do like watching words & stories get lost in translation & then finding what gets found.
