No relation

English to Italian Other Poetry & Literature
Un uomo sta raccontando la trama del libro che sta leggendo e dice: ..."questa signora s'innamora del Duca di Merle, che fu scambiato alla nascita con il conte di Merle. No relation."
Dicendo "No relation" secondo voi intende che il duca e il conte non erano parenti? Non mi è chiaro...
Grazie mille
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Francesco Badolato, BdiL

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.

non erano parenti

Hai ragione, significa proprio questo. Avevano lo stesso cognome, ma non erano parenti

nessun grado di parentela

Potresti dire anche così: Tra i due non vi era nessun grado di parentela.

nulla a che vedere, nonostante il cognome

Ti suggerisco un'alternativa; giusto per sfizio.

Grazie P.! Quando leggo il tuo nome mi viene da sorridere perché i miei hanno vissuto da te (a Vienna) per dieci anni. MAu
