Note from asker:
| Mi piace molto ! E mi piace anche vedere come Tom in London di tanto in tanto si esprima in lingua italiana. Lo rende più simpatico e comunicativo, come il modello di lingua che Calvino un tempo auspicò..."un italiano concreto e preciso" :-) |
| Io direi lusingato. Poi faccia lei. Comunicativo si riferisce a un livello stilistico "medio", adatto alla comunicazione. Calvino odiava tutti gli usi della lingua che tendono alla inutile retorica risultando maldestri, la cosiddetta "antilingua" che voi traduttori IT>EN stoicamente sopportate. Non si inc***i. |

: would it be acceptable to add a "greatly"?

Yes, but the English here is an understatment. "Greatly" would exagerate, like saying "everywhere" as Tom did. As is means not a little, but not an awful lot.
