How to Say ‘That I have a desire to make love with you’ in Italian
Che ho una voglia di fare l'amore con lei
keh oh OO-nah VOH-lyah dee FAH-reh l' ah-MOH-reh cono lay
[keh oh OO-nah VOH-lyah dee FAH-reh l' ah-MOH-reh cono lay]
💬 Usage Tip: Avere voglia di can take a noun or another verb. Here you get ho una voglia di fare... — a stronger, more emotional version of simply ho voglia di fare....
🇮🇹 In Italy: Fare l'amore is direct and intimate, but less crude than many blunt sexual expressions. In this scene it sounds theatrical and seductive rather than everyday casual.
