Hi! Can you please translate "The scenic drive"?

Is it l'azionamento scenico?

Thanks,
Susan

A scenic drive is a road very scenic to drive thru

I think she means how would you say it in Italian.

Strada panoramica....

Hi Alessandra, So what does "l'azionamento scenico" mean?

Thanks,

Well, the word "azionamento" just does not exist. I suppose you meant "azion scenica", which is the action that takes place on stage during a theater play.

Well azionamento does exist, but its use is mostly restricted to technical speeches.

You can say "l' azionamento di una leva/ di un meccanismo"
as in lever drive


The problem here is just that the automatic translation was unable to understand the difference beetween
drive [italian guidare] a car

and drive as in its mechanical meaning.

Why the programmers chose a residual meaning as it were the the first occurrence I don't know, but both Google and Babelfish, the altavista software, agree translating
scenic drive as azionamento scenico that makes no sense, together, in italian.

Another proof that you can't rely on software too much when languges are involved.

Hi Thanks guys.

I am trying to say - " a scenic ride" or a "scenic drive" implying the experience and not the place as in "a scenic road".

I think that the best way to express such concept in Italian is to use a longer phrase, like "un viaggio durante il quale abbiamo visto bel panorama".

A very coreographic way to activate something???

immergervi in un ambiente suggestivo/pittoresco?

Hi! So since I am looking for only one or two words maybe I will use "strada panoramica" for scenic road?

How about "night drives"?
