Avete moduli in inglese?

Do you have forms in English?

Pronunciation

MOH-doo-lee — three syllables; the plural 'moduli' stresses the first syllable.

When to use it

Use at the police station when you struggle with written Italian. Many urban questure have multilingual forms for common reports such as theft and document loss.

What it means

'Moduli' is the plural of 'modulo' (form). Asking for English-language forms is reasonable and increasingly accommodated in tourist-heavy cities. If not available, police may allow you to write your statement in English.

Variations

Is there someone who can help me fill in the form?

Requests assistance rather than a translated form.

Posso portare la denuncia tradotta?

Can I bring the report translated?

Asks about submitting a translated version — useful for complex statements.
