  1. the bautiful one will be. and not the will be beautiful i guess.

    i dont know the translation, but i think sera is a verb so it needs a subject. and subjecsts are always first in all the languges i know


  2. cuz u know to different languages and  accents so in spanish some words are backwards an some are like u said  is like example

    the beautiful is

    the is beautiful

  3. no, no, no, no, no!!!!! this is italian, NOT spanish.  it means 'the beautiful evening', in french: la belle soir, in spanish: la bella noche.)  'will be' in italian is Sarà.  this is NOT spanish. in spanish it means 'the beautiful will be' and in italian it is 'the beautiful evening'. one other person has it right.

    anyway, bella comes first because sera is a short word so bella fits just fine before it. it is actually very hard to explain.  the same thing happens w/ the adjective Vera which means 'true'.

    ex:

    english: the true story.

    italian: la vera storia, NOT la storia vera.

    or english: good morning (day)

    italian: buon giorno, NOT giorno buono

  4. In italian language all the adjectives follow the names. Only for BELLO-BELLA-BELLI-BELLE  (nice) and GRANDE-GRANDI (big), the name follows the adjective. So it is: bella sera, and not sera bella...

  5. spanish flips words around so they end up being backwards

  6. its not backwards. that means the beautiful evening
