Je was op zoek naar: io stavo per uscire (Italiaans - Engels)

stavo per dirtelo
i was just about to tell you.

adesso stavo per telefonati
now i was just going to call you.

io stavo solamente scherzando.
i was just kidding.

quel momento, io stavo soffrendo.
all was in order, so i found nothing.

io stavo perlustrando diversi posti.
i was scouting different locations.

mentre stavo per uscire, mi sono rocordata che avevo lasciato le chiavi sul tavolo.
as i was about to leave, i remembered that i had left the keys on the table.

stavo per uscire, quando il mio stato di ubriachezza mi fece crollare sulla scrivania di un ispettore.
the inspector was angry, but instead of arresting me on the spot for insulting a police officer, he threw me out into the street.

ha aiutato me concentrarsi, e a volte ho pianto quando io stavo per maglieria.
i made my husband a huge knitted scarf. it helped focus me, and sometimes i cried when i was knitting.

- io stavo per lo più sopra, avevamo la puzza, sopra, e agli altri la sporcizia che cadeva giù.
- i slept on the top bunk. we at the top had the stench and the others had the filth that fell down.

io stavo per chiedere la parola, ma sono stata preceduta dall' onorevole corrie, che ha espresso ciò che anch' io pensavo, formulando alla presidenza la richiesta di intercedere.
i was going to ask for the floor, but mr corrie asked for it and i felt that he was representing me when he asked the president to intervene.
