Svolta a destra
Right turn
Language note: A 'destra' literally means 'to the right'. Try using hand motions while learning!
Culture note: In Italian traffic, drivers might be more assertive, so a quick turn can be essential!
Context: While walking, they notice a sign pointing saying that their destination is coming up, and the friend says, 'Oh, it’s just a right turn from here!'
