get to the lovey-dovey part
Italian translation:
fare i piccioncini
English term
Italy
lovey-dovey
I can see the picture. The two of us are lying on this bed and we’re crying. Both of us. We're holding each other and crying. Because of the baby. Because it's so sad. We're saying things we would never ordinarily say. We' re revealing amazing things from the depths of our beings. But now there's a new kind of Berlin Wall between us. When do we get to the
lovey-dovey part?
La mia proposta:
Posso vedere l’immagine.[...] Ma ora c’è una specie di nuovo Muro di Berlino fra di noi. When do we get to the lovey-dovey part?
Cerco soluzioni per "lovey-dovey". Grazie!

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.

Quand'è che ricomincerà quell'atmosfera complice?
| neutral |
Fabrizio Zambuto
: ...non è proprio sinonimo di atmosfera complice, lovey-dovey. Nel senso che qui si parla di "ohh mio pulcino, ohh mia ciccina!" che tutto definirei tranne atmosfera complice (but maybe it's just me...:)

Beh, siccome prima parla di tutta la situazione, loro due sdraiati sul letto a consolarsi, a intristirsi insieme, a tenersi per mano e a confidarsi l'inimmaginabile... Dunque non solo smancerie romantiche.
