Rule reminder

Emphatic inversion in Italian creates strong exclamatory or dismissive effects. Fixed phrases like 'Neanche a parlarne!' (Don't even mention it!), 'Nemmeno a farlo apposta!' (As if on purpose! — ironic), 'Figurati!' (Imagine! / Of course not!), 'Macché!' (No way! / Absolutely not!), and 'Manco per sogno!' are frozen expressions that function as emphatic refusals or dismissals. They are primarily colloquial and conversational.
