The Italian language is rich with proverbs! Here are a few proverbs and expressions in which potere, volere, and dovere make their appearances: Volere è potere. (Where there s a will there s a way.) Volere o volare! (There s no getting away from it.) Quello che ci vuole (just what the doctor ordered) Volerne a qualcuno (to hold it against someone) Non poterne più (to have had it) Come si deve (decent) Chi di dovere (the person responsible) A dovere (properly) |
