When I was born. [La nascita del mio terzo nipotino mi ha reso molto felice.] - “The birth of my third nephew made me so happy” which is true. He was born just few days ago.   

[compleanno] - “birthday”.

[Quand'è il tuo compleanno?] - “When is your birthday?”. [Il mio compleanno è il 20 Gennaio.] My birthday is January 20th.   

[trovare un lavoro] - “to get a job”.

[Dopo la laurea i ragazzi in Italia faticano a trovare un lavoro.] - “After graduating the college, young people in Italy struggle to find the job”.   

[trasferirsi] - “to move”.

[Mi sono trasferita in Giappone molti anni fa.] - “I moved to Japan many years ago, yes that’s true.”

  [andare in pensione] - “to retire”.

Okay, little bit early for me but [Quando andrò in pensione metterò su una rock band.] - “When I will retire, I will make a rock band” and I will do it one day.
