What is 'Miss Smith' when translated from English to Italian?

Answer 1

La signora Jones is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "Ms. Jones."

Specifically, the feminine definite article la means "the." The feminine noun signora means "Mrs., Ms." The pronunciation is "lah see-NYOH-rah djohnz."

Answer 2

Fabbro is an Italian equivalent of the English word "smith." The masculine singular noun also translates as "blacksmith," "craftsman" or "metalworker" according to English contexts. The pronunciation will be "FAB-bro" in Italian.

Answer 3

Signora Mugnaia and Signorina Mugnaia are Italian equivalents of the English name "Miss Miller." Context makes clear whether the title refers to a married woman or an unmarried woman in her 40s+ (case 1) or to an unmarried young woman (example 2). The respective pronunciations will be "see-NYO-ra moo-NYEY-a" for a Mrs or older Miss and "SEE-nyo-REE-na moo-NYEYE-a" for a young Miss in Italian.

Answer 4

La Signorina Fabbro or Signorina Fabbro and la Signorina Smith or Signorina Smith are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "Miss Smith." Context determines whether the person is being spoken about (cases 1, 3) or to (examples 2, 4) and whether she is out in the real world where Italians prefer to use the documented last name (instances 3, 4) or in an Italian language class where teachers come up with Italian equivalents (options 1, 2). The respective pronunciations will be "la SEE-nyo-REE-na FAB-bro" and "SEE-nyo-REE-na FAB-bro" or "la SEE-nyo-REE-na smeet" and "SEE-nyo-REE-na smeet" in Pisan Italian.
