Use <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> when you want to point at <strong>a way of doing something<\/strong>: a manner, a method, the way things went. Use <em>tale<\/em> when you want to point at <strong>a kind of thing<\/strong>: a type, a category, a quality you&#8217;ve just named. The italian cos\u00ec tale split lines up almost perfectly with the English split between &#8220;like this \/ like that&#8221; (manner) and &#8220;such \/ of that kind&#8221; (kind). One half of italian cos\u00ec tale handles verbs and adjectives, the other half handles nouns. Hold that diagnostic and italian cos\u00ec tale becomes mechanical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cosi-adverb\">Cos\u00ec as an adverb: in this way, like that<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first job of <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> in the italian cos\u00ec tale pair is to refer back to a manner the speaker has just shown, said, or implied. A waiter in Latina mimes the gesture and says <em>si tiene cos\u00ec<\/em>, &#8220;you hold it like this&#8221;. A farmer points at a misshapen cheese on the table and says <em>\u00e8 venuta cos\u00ec<\/em>, &#8220;it came out like this&#8221;. The English equivalent is &#8220;like this&#8221;, &#8220;like that&#8221;, &#8220;this way&#8221;, &#8220;that way&#8221;, &#8220;so&#8221;. The Italian word is a single syllable that points at the demonstration it accompanies.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Susanna lavora cos\u00ec, sempre con il termometro in mano.<br><em>Susanna works like this, always with a thermometer in her hand.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 andata cos\u00ec: la fermentazione \u00e8 partita troppo tardi.<br><em>That&#8217;s how it went: the fermentation started too late.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Facciamo cos\u00ec: tu controlli la temperatura, io chiamo il veterinario.<br><em>Let&#8217;s do it this way: you check the temperature, I&#8217;ll call the vet.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Le bufale fanno cos\u00ec di solito quando arriva un tecnico nuovo.<br><em>Buffalo cows act like that usually when a new technician arrives.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ercole, non parlare cos\u00ec a tuo padre.<br><em>Ercole, don&#8217;t talk to your father like that.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice how <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> sits next to the verb. It modifies the verb&#8217;s manner, the way the action happens. A close cousin in writing is <em>in questo modo<\/em> or <em>in tal modo<\/em>; both work, both sound a degree more formal. In speech, <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> wins almost every time. If you&#8217;d say &#8220;this way&#8221; or &#8220;like that&#8221; in English, you want <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> in Italian, not <em>in questo modo<\/em>. This manner half of italian cos\u00ec tale carries most of the spoken-language load. A typical italian cos\u00ec tale conversation will land on <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> three or four times before <em>tale<\/em> shows up at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cosi-degree\">Cos\u00ec as a degree word: so + adjective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second job of <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> within italian cos\u00ec tale is to sit in front of an adjective or adverb and intensify it: <em>cos\u00ec bello<\/em>, <em>cos\u00ec tardi<\/em>, <em>cos\u00ec stanco<\/em>. English &#8220;so + adjective&#8221; matches almost perfectly. The structure is invariable: <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> never changes form, never agrees with gender or number. This is the half of italian cos\u00ec tale you&#8217;ll meet most often in everyday speech.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Era cos\u00ec caldo nel laboratorio che la cagliata si rompeva male.<br><em>It was so hot in the workshop that the curd broke up badly.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Una mozzarella cos\u00ec filante non la facevamo da settimane.<br><em>A mozzarella this stringy we hadn&#8217;t made in weeks.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non immaginavo che fosse cos\u00ec difficile trovare buon latte di bufala.<br><em>I had no idea it was so hard to find good buffalo milk.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sei venuto cos\u00ec presto stamattina?<br><em>Did you come this early this morning?<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non l&#8217;avrei mai detta cos\u00ec esperta dopo solo due anni.<br><em>I would never have called her so experienced after only two years.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two patterns to bank for the italian cos\u00ec tale system. First, <em>cos\u00ec + adjective + che + clause<\/em>: a consequence sentence with a meaning of &#8220;so X that Y&#8221;. <em>Era cos\u00ec stanco che si \u00e8 addormentato in piedi<\/em>, &#8220;he was so tired that he fell asleep standing up&#8221;. Second, <em>un + noun + cos\u00ec + adjective<\/em>: the slot for &#8220;such (a) + adjective + noun&#8221;. <em>Una giornata cos\u00ec calda<\/em>, &#8220;such a hot day&#8221;. <em>Un cliente cos\u00ec esigente<\/em>, &#8220;such a demanding customer&#8221;. English drops &#8220;such&#8221; before the noun; Italian wraps the noun in the indefinite article and pushes <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> after.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-ct-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-challenge:<\/strong> Fill in <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> in the right slot.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Susanna parla ___ piano che a volte non la sentiamo dal piazzale.<\/li>\n<li>La cagliata non si lavora ___, ci vuole pi\u00f9 calma.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 stata una settimana ___ intensa che siamo crollati la domenica.<\/li>\n<li>Mi spieghi perch\u00e9 hai chiuso le vasche ___?<\/li>\n<li>Non avrei mai pensato che la consegna potesse essere ___ veloce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 See answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. parla <strong>cos\u00ec<\/strong> piano (degree before adjective)<\/p>\n<p>2. non si lavora <strong>cos\u00ec<\/strong> (manner adverb after verb)<\/p>\n<p>3. una settimana <strong>cos\u00ec<\/strong> intensa che (un + noun + cos\u00ec + adj + che + consequence)<\/p>\n<p>4. hai chiuso le vasche <strong>cos\u00ec<\/strong>?

The closest English match is &#8220;such a&#8221; or &#8220;of that kind&#8221;. <em>Una proposta tale<\/em>, &#8220;a proposal of that sort&#8221;. <em>Tali sostanze<\/em>, &#8220;substances of this kind&#8221;. The word is singular <em>tale<\/em>, plural <em>tali<\/em>, with no separate masculine and feminine forms. Of the italian cos\u00ec tale duo, <em>tale<\/em> is the rarer one in conversation but the more useful one in clean writing.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ercole non aveva mai visto una resa tale del latte di bufala.<br><em>Ercole had never seen such a yield from buffalo milk.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tali differenze tra mungitura mattutina e serale sono fisiologiche.<br><em>Differences of this kind between morning and evening milking are physiological.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non avrei mai immaginato una richiesta tale dalla grande distribuzione.<br><em>I would never have imagined a request of that kind from large-scale retail.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Una tale leggerezza sulla tracciabilit\u00e0 non \u00e8 ammissibile in un caseificio.<br><em>Such carelessness about traceability is not acceptable in a dairy.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tali condizioni rendono il trasporto fino a Roma molto delicato.<br><em>Such conditions make transport up to Rome very delicate.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two structural notes for the <em>tale<\/em> half of italian cos\u00ec tale. First, the position. <em>Tale<\/em> usually sits before the noun (<em>una tale storia<\/em>, <em>tali sostanze<\/em>), but it follows the noun when a <em>che<\/em> or <em>da<\/em> clause is attached: <em>una storia tale che non ti dico<\/em>, &#8220;a story such that I can&#8217;t tell you&#8221;. <em>Un urlo tale da svegliare i vicini<\/em>, &#8220;a shout such as to wake the neighbours&#8221;. Second, the article. <em>Un tale + noun<\/em> is the standard form for &#8220;such a + noun&#8221;; without the article (<em>tali sostanze<\/em>) the noun reads as plural and more formal, the kind of sentence you&#8217;d meet in a regulation or in a serious article. This is where italian cos\u00ec tale shows its written-prose side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One historical leftover survives in fixed phrases: the truncated form <em>tal<\/em>. You&#8217;ll meet it in <em>in tal modo<\/em>, <em>tal quale<\/em>, <em>una tal cosa<\/em>, <em>il tal dei tali<\/em>. Outside these set expressions, modern Italian prefers the full <em>tale<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"talmente\">Talmente: tale&#8217;s adverb twin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian cos\u00ec tale family extends to a third member: <em>talmente<\/em>. Italian builds this adverb from <em>tale<\/em> by adding the suffix that turns adjectives into manner adverbs. It works almost interchangeably with the degree-word use of <em>cos\u00ec<\/em>: <em>era talmente caldo che l&#8217;impasto si \u00e8 strappato<\/em>, &#8220;it was so hot that the curd tore&#8221;. Both are correct, both are common, and most native speakers wouldn&#8217;t pause to choose between them. The shade of difference is that <em>talmente<\/em> carries a touch more emphasis and is slightly more frequent in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Susanna era talmente concentrata sulla filatura che non ha sentito il telefono.<br><em>Susanna was so focused on the spinning that she didn&#8217;t hear the phone.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il latte \u00e8 arrivato talmente fresco che abbiamo lavorato tutto in giornata.<br><em>The milk arrived so fresh that we worked all of it within the day.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ercole parla talmente piano al telefono che a volte non lo capisco.<br><em>Ercole speaks so quietly on the phone that sometimes I can&#8217;t make him out.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One small note for the italian cos\u00ec tale toolbox: <em>tanto<\/em> is another option in the same slot (<em>era tanto caldo che<\/em>), and a fourth, less common one is <em>s\u00ec<\/em> in literary texts. For everyday B1 Italian, stay with <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> and <em>talmente<\/em>; either is right. The rule is purely about pulse: <em>talmente<\/em> sounds a beat heavier, <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> a beat lighter. Italian cos\u00ec tale plus <em>talmente<\/em> covers ninety percent of the degree-word situations a B1 learner meets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"in-tal-modo\">In tal modo and a few fixed phrases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian cos\u00ec tale system has a small set of frozen expressions where the truncated <em>tal<\/em> survives and where you can&#8217;t substitute <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> without changing the register. The most useful ones for a B1 learner who reads news and regulations are <em>in tal modo<\/em> (&#8220;in that way&#8221;, &#8220;thus&#8221;), <em>in tal caso<\/em> (&#8220;in that case&#8221;, &#8220;if so&#8221;), <em>a tal punto<\/em> (&#8220;to such a degree&#8221;), <em>a tal fine<\/em> (&#8220;to that end&#8221;), and <em>tal quale<\/em> (&#8220;just the same&#8221;, &#8220;exactly as it is&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In tal modo evitiamo che l&#8217;impasto si rompa durante la filatura.<br><em>This way we prevent the curd from breaking during the spinning.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>In tal caso, conviene rinviare la consegna a marted\u00ec.<br><em>If that&#8217;s the case, it&#8217;s better to postpone the delivery to Tuesday.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Le bufale erano stressate a tal punto che la resa \u00e8 crollata.<br><em>The buffalo cows were stressed to such a degree that the yield collapsed.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Mi ha restituito il termometro tal quale, senza dire una parola.<br><em>He gave the thermometer back just as it was, without a word.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll meet these phrases in business e-mails, technical reports, courtroom transcripts, official letters. In a relaxed chat over an espresso, swap them for <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> and <em>in questo modo<\/em>: <em>in tal modo<\/em> at the bar would sound oddly stiff. Treccani notes that these are &#8220;espressioni cristallizzate&#8221;, crystallised expressions, that have outlived the free use of <em>tal<\/em> in modern Italian. These fixed phrases sit at the formal end of the italian cos\u00ec tale spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"alternatives\">Simile, del genere, siffatto: the alternatives to tale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the core italian cos\u00ec tale pair, Italian gives you three close alternatives to <em>tale<\/em> when you mean &#8220;of that kind&#8221;. They split clearly by register. <em>Simile<\/em> is neutral and works in any context: <em>una proposta simile<\/em>, &#8220;a similar proposal&#8221; or &#8220;a proposal of that kind&#8221;. <em>Del genere<\/em> is the colloquial choice: <em>una cosa del genere<\/em>, &#8220;something like that&#8221;. <em>Siffatto<\/em> is formal and a touch archaic, the kind of word you meet in a court judgment or in 19th-century prose: <em>siffatto comportamento<\/em>, &#8220;such behaviour&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Una mozzarella simile non si trovava nemmeno nei mercati di Latina.<br><em>A mozzarella like that wasn&#8217;t even found in the Latina markets.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non ho mai sentito una scusa del genere da un fornitore di latte.<br><em>I&#8217;ve never heard an excuse like that from a milk supplier.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Siffatta superficialit\u00e0 nei controlli sanitari \u00e8 inaccettabile.<br><em>Such superficiality in health checks is unacceptable.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For everyday B1 use of italian cos\u00ec tale plus its neighbours, learn the pair <em>tale \/ del genere<\/em> and use them in their natural settings. <em>Tale<\/em> belongs in clean, slightly formal prose (an article, an email to a customer); <em>del genere<\/em> belongs in spoken Italian and informal writing (a text message, a chat with a colleague). <em>Simile<\/em> sits comfortably in both. Leave <em>siffatto<\/em> for reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One table that catches every italian cos\u00ec tale situation you&#8217;ll meet at B1.

Each italian cos\u00ec tale trap is fixable in a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-1\">Trap 1: Using cos\u00ec in front of a noun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Una cos\u00ec storia<\/em> is wrong. The italian cos\u00ec tale system never allows <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> to sit directly in front of a noun. <em>Cos\u00ec<\/em> can sit in front of an adjective but not in front of a noun. The correct version is <em>una storia cos\u00ec<\/em> (manner: &#8220;a story like that&#8221;) or <em>una tale storia<\/em> (kind: &#8220;such a story&#8221;). If you want the &#8220;so + adjective + noun&#8221; structure, wrap the noun in the indefinite article and push <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> after: <em>una storia cos\u00ec strana<\/em>, &#8220;such a strange story&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-2\">Trap 2: Forcing tale to agree in gender<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s no <em>tala<\/em>, no <em>talo<\/em>. The word is <em>tale<\/em> in the singular, regardless of gender: <em>un tale uomo<\/em>, <em>una tale donna<\/em>. The plural is <em>tali<\/em>: <em>tali uomini<\/em>, <em>tali donne<\/em>. Forgetting that <em>tale<\/em> doesn&#8217;t take a feminine ending is one of the most common B1 slips with italian cos\u00ec tale, because English speakers expect the standard -o\/-a pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-3\">Trap 3: Translating &#8220;such a&#8221; automatically as tale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English &#8220;such a&#8221; splits in two inside italian cos\u00ec tale. &#8220;Such a beautiful day&#8221; emphasises the degree of the adjective, and the natural translation is <em>una giornata cos\u00ec bella<\/em>, not <em>una tale bella giornata<\/em>. &#8220;Such a request&#8221; refers to the kind of request, and the translation is <em>una tale richiesta<\/em>. Quick test for italian cos\u00ec tale: if &#8220;such&#8221; intensifies an adjective, use <em>cos\u00ec<\/em>; if &#8220;such&#8221; points to the kind of noun, use <em>tale<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-4\">Trap 4: Saying in cos\u00ec modo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In cos\u00ec modo<\/em> doesn&#8217;t exist. The fixed expression is <em>in tal modo<\/em>, with the truncated form <em>tal<\/em> that survives only in these set phrases. The same goes for <em>in tal caso<\/em>, <em>a tal punto<\/em>, <em>a tal fine<\/em>. If you want a colloquial alternative, use <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> on its own: <em>fallo cos\u00ec<\/em> = <em>fallo in tal modo<\/em>, just less formal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-5\">Trap 5: Translating &#8220;so&#8221; as tale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English &#8220;so&#8221; as a degree word is never <em>tale<\/em>. &#8220;I am so tired&#8221; is <em>sono cos\u00ec stanco<\/em> or <em>sono talmente stanco<\/em>, never <em>sono tale stanco<\/em>. <em>Tale<\/em> works only in front of nouns; <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> and <em>talmente<\/em> work in front of adjectives and adverbs.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six italian cos\u00ec tale questions come up in every B1 cohort. The answers draw on real classroom discussions and on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/tale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani vocabolario entry for tale<\/a>, plus the <a href=\"https:\/\/accademiadellacrusca.it\/it\/consulenza\/scrivere-cosi\/120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crusca consulenza on cos\u00ec<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-ct-q1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the main difference between cos\u00ec and tale?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Cosi is an adverb: it points at a manner, a way of doing something. Si fa cosi = you do it this way. Era cosi stanco = he was so tired. Tale is an adjective: it points at a kind, a type. Una tale richiesta = such a request. Tali sostanze = substances of that kind. The split lines up almost perfectly with English like this\/like that (manner) versus such\/of that kind (kind). Cosi sits next to verbs and adjectives; tale sits next to nouns.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ct-q2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why is it &#8216;in tal modo&#8217; and not &#8216;in cosi modo&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Because in tal modo is a frozen expression where the truncated form tal survives. Modern Italian has lost the free use of tal in front of nouns; only a handful of fixed phrases keep it alive: in tal modo, in tal caso, a tal punto, a tal fine, tal quale, talora, talvolta, il tal dei tali. In all other contexts you use the full tale (un tale uomo, una tale storia). Cosi works on its own as a manner adverb and never combines with modo in a phrase.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ct-q3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I always replace cosi with talmente?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Almost always when cosi means so + adjective or so + adverb. Era cosi stanco and era talmente stanco are interchangeable. Talmente carries a slightly heavier emphasis and is a touch more frequent in writing. You cannot replace cosi with talmente when cosi means in this way (manner). Si fa cosi cannot become si fa talmente. The rule: talmente only intensifies adjectives and adverbs, cosi does both jobs.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ct-q4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Does tale change for gender or number?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Tale is the same in masculine and feminine singular: un tale uomo, una tale donna. The plural is tali for both genders: tali uomini, tali donne. There is no tala or talo. The invariable singular trips up English speakers who expect the standard -o\/-a pattern. The truncated form tal appears only in fixed phrases (in tal modo, in tal caso) and in occasional written sentences before a vowel (una tal idea), but the full tale is the modern default.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ct-q5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do simile, del genere, and siffatto differ from tale?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>All three mean of that kind, like tale, but they split by register. Simile is neutral and works anywhere: una proposta simile. Del genere is colloquial, the form you hear in conversation: una cosa del genere. Siffatto is formal and slightly archaic, the kind of word you meet in court judgments or 19th-century prose: siffatto comportamento. For everyday B1 use, master tale and del genere; reach for simile when you want a middle register; leave siffatto for reading.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ct-q6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the structure for &#8216;such a + adjective + noun&#8217; in Italian?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the wrap-around pattern un + noun + cosi + adjective. Such a hot day = una giornata cosi calda, not una tale calda giornata. Such a demanding customer = un cliente cosi esigente. English puts such before the adjective; Italian puts cosi after the noun and the indefinite article. If the emphasis is on the kind of noun rather than the degree of the adjective, switch to tale: such a customer (the kind we don&#8217;t want) = un tale cliente. Diagnostic: if the English sentence stresses how much, use cosi; if it stresses what kind, use tale.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related\">Related guides<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-un-tale-a-certain\/\">Italian Un Tale: A Certain Somebody, Such a (B1)<\/a>: the companion guide to the four hats of <em>un tale<\/em> as a pronoun and as &#8220;a certain Lorenzo&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-codesto-demonstrative\/\">Italian Codesto: The Forgotten Demonstrative That Lives in Tuscany (C1)<\/a>: the third demonstrative still alive in Tuscan and bureaucratic Italian.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-adverbs-complete-guide\/\">Italian Adverbs: Formation, Position, Types (B1)<\/a>: the broader adverb landscape into which <em>cos\u00ec<\/em> and <em>talmente<\/em> fit.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/accademiadellacrusca.it\/it\/consulenza\/scrivere-cosi\/120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accademia della Crusca: scrivere &#8220;cos\u00ec&#8221;<\/a>: institutional note on the spelling and usage of <em>cos\u00ec<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian cos\u00ec tale at B1: cos\u00ec for manner (fanno cos\u00ec, \u00e8 andata cos\u00ec), tale for kind (una cosa tale, tali sostanze), plus talmente, in tal modo, simile, del genere, siffatto.
