Metterai un puntino davanti ai nomi degli studenti più bravi?

[Funnyhow]

English Translation

Will you put a dot before the names of the successful students?

Is this translation incorrect? A dot ‘before’ the names of the students? I thought davanti was always ‘after’ or ‘in front of’.

[Floria7]

I too would have expected “in front of”. For “…before the names” I would have put “prima dei nomi” although “davanti ai” makes more sense.
