The English translation is given as “Which is your mansion?” Hmm, confusing until I realised it should more than likely be “What are your duties/tasks”.
Mansione - a very false friend;-)
A dopo…
@mike-lima Title corrected;-)

Also “mansione” is feminine, so “Quali sono le tue mansioni”.
Interestingly, the English meaning is closer to the original Latin of “dwelling”, although it now refers to a specific type of dwelling.
We have “magione” that means “house” in a kind of pompous way…
I would probably translate “mansion” as “villa” I think…

Hi @mike-lima To be fair to Cloze, it was “… le tue mansioni”. I’ve corrected my title.
Cheers…

Interesting, I have never heard ‘mansioni’ being used for the word ‘tasks’. I am familiar with the term “compiti” which I assume is more common / less formal.
It’s a false friend. I am familiar with the term ‘palazzo’ and more recently ‘dimora’ being used for ‘mansion’. I have a feeling ‘palazzo’ is also used for ‘building’ more often, however.
Thanks for the post
