Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Chiara Righele, Monica M.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

telefonare la mattina presto secondo il suo fuso orario

o anche:

telefonare come prima cosa la mattina presto secondo il suo fuso orario
Peer comment(s):

neutral Barbara Carrara : se non aggiungi il riferimento femminile non si capisce chi chiama chi e secondo quale fuso orario. Buona giornata, Barbara

Certo. Infatti stavo aggiungendo "telefonarle" quando ha chiuso il kudoz. Comunque sta al traduttore, una volta risolto il dubbio, adattare al resto del testo.

telefonarle/chiamarla non appena fosse stata mattina da lei.

Se il contesto lo consente, ossia se la questione della lontananza e del fuso orario sia già emersa altrove, eviterei di riprenderla qui, adottando un'alternativa del tipo proposto.

Peer comment(s):

agree Chiara Righele : nonostante sia già stata chiusa la domanda, meglio questa opzione secondo me: molto più scorrevole e naturale

Grazie ugualmente, Chiara. Barbara
agree AdamiAkaPataflo : mi associo, "tard(iv)a" pure io :-)
