Lasciami parlare, per favore.

English Translation

Let me speak, please.

Doesn’t this mean ‘to leave’?

Hi, welcome. Lasciare can mean leave, allow, keep and several other meanings. It’s one of those words where context is key. Cheers!

I would like to add that this is also the case for most other Romance languages (with Portuguese and Spanish words being slightly different, ‘deixar’ and ‘dejar’ respectively). This is because these all derive from Latin ‘laxāre’.
