@rubina as always, your discussions bring a smile to my face😍
So yes, the mix of happiness and torment is the perfect way to describe it.
(Let me tell you a quick story! I had to go to the police station in Milan to pick up a paper for my citizenship application. Now, when I arrived they couldn’t find any record that someone had called me to come in. Of course, I didn’t have the name of the officer who had called me. So I said, I am pretty sure the man I spoke to is from Naples. And the officer I was speaking to said – ohhhh, ho capito. That will have been Beppe! … And it was!!! I was soooooo chuffed that I had recognised the accent!😂😂😂)
As for Broadchurch – it is fantastic (@Vale and @chiaramig 😉) accent definitely has an appeal!
I would also recommend Happy Valley (Yorkshire) if you like Broadchurch.
Some notes:
Very clear, amusing and expressive. Excellent vocab in there!
Spelling
hapiness > happiness
I felt in love > I fell in love
