Talk:tutto lungo

RFD discussion: December 2022–February 2023
Italian. As far I can tell this is definitely not "all along" as in "the whole time", but a poor translation/calque of "all" and "long". Mind you, not even the adverb along, the adjective long! Vininn126 (talk) 19:26, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure that would make it more entryworthy, but I think the referred to in the definition line isn't the adverb but the preposition here. As far as I can tell,  can be used like that: tutto lungo la strada, tutto lungo le muraglie, tutto lungo la parete, etc. ? PUC – 21:22, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You're right, I didn't think about that. It can indeed be the translation of the preposition, which as shows the &lit, is SOP, with tutto in the adverbial sense "completely, entirely", whence the tutto [adv] formations, like tutto intorno "all around", tutto fuori "all outside", etc., and the tutto [adj] formation: tutto matto "completely mad", tutto bagnato "all wet", etc. Catonif (talk) 21:54, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Used like that, I think that the adverb tutto applies to the whole prepositional phrase, like lungo la strada; one can also say a metà lungo la strada (halfway down the road). So tutto lungo is not even a constituent unit. --Lambiam 13:24, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
