I don't think this sentence matches with the Italian sentence, does it? The Italian sentence means more like "I cannot give myself that luxury." not necessarily about not having enough money to buy something.

Did you mean to translate the English sentence? If so, I can relink it for you.

Yes, it is linked to English sentence: "I can't afford it.". Central Dusun: "Au oku kasaga."

It is linked to the Italian sentence: "Io non posso permettermelo.". When you meant to translate this sentence, the Italian sentence was at the top, so it is documented as a translation of the Italian (notice the blue arrow to the left of the Italian sentence) sentence and NOT the English sentence.

When you translate a sentence, make sure that the sentence you translate is AT THE TOP :) If not, click on the arrow to the left of the sentence, and you will be forwarded to that sentence's page.

I will correct it for you, but in the future, please be careful :P Sometimes, translations of translations don't match the original.
For example) Let's say we have the English sentence: "It is cool!" and someone translates it into Khmer "ត្រជាក់ណាស់ !" (It is cold to the touch!). If I want to translate the English into Korean "멋있다!" (It is awesome/great/nice!), it WILL NOT match the Khmer sentence, and so if I link it to the Khmer instead of English, it will be incorrect :)
