Translations for any in the English»Italian Dictionary

I.any [Brit ˈɛni, Am ˈɛni] DET When any is used as a quantifier, in negative and interrogative sentences, to mean an unspecified amount of something, it precedes either uncountable nouns or countable nouns in the plural: I never put any sugar in my coffee = non metto mai zucchero nel caffè have you got any letters for me? = ha delle lettere per me? - When any is used as a determiner in negative sentences, it is not usually translated into Italian: we don't have any money = non abbiamo soldi. - When any is used as a determiner in questions, it is translated by del, della, dei or delle according to the gender and number of the noun that follows: is there any soap? = c'è del sapone? is there any flour? = c'è della farina? are there any newspapers? = ci sono dei giornali? are there any questions? = ci sono delle domande? Especially in the plural, anyway, the Italian forms can be understood: ci sono giornali? ci sono domande? In questions, any + a noun in the plural can also be rendered by qualche, which is invariable and it is always followed by the singular: are there any questions = c'è qualche domanda?
