Italian term
Trentino
Secondo voi, come posso tradurre questa frase?
Sono trentino e lo sarò per sempre.
Non posso scrivere I'm from Trentino perché è scorretto in questo caso.
Grazie,
Alessandro

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.

OR, to give a more nostalgic tone (for example if the person is living abroad):
"My heart is in Trento and it always will be."
I don't think the English language has a translation for the term "trentino"...

Following Paolo's lead:
- I am a native of Trento and my roots will always be there.
Or flipping it:
- No matter where I am, I will always be from Trento (or a native of Trento).

: I'm not sure this quite works, because you're effectively saying "I was born in Trentino and I always will be", which doesn't make logical sense and is stating the obvious.

Yvonne Gallagher
: "a Trentino" makes no sense imo. You wouldn't leave "Glaswegian" or "Mancunian" in Italian.
