use of "in che" vs "che"

[Rich]

My question is about the use of “in che” in the following sentence:

(Woman speaking) Ma, ricordi in che anno sono nata, no?
But, you do remember in which year I was born, don’t you?

Can anyone please tell me if - “in che” can be translated as - “in which” as shown in the above sentence.

I was also wondering if the following sentence would be acceptable:

(Woman speaking) Ma, ricordi l’anno che sono nata, no?
But, you do remember the year that I was born, don’t you?

Thank you!

Hi Rich.

Yes.
It can also be translated as “in cui” (a bit more formal).

Ma, ricordi l’anno in cui sono nata, no?
(But, you do remember the year when I was born, don’t you?)
Hope this is correct English.

Yes, it is quite acceptable.

By the way, Rich, how long have you been studying Italia?

Hi Dylan

Thank you very much for your help.

I’ve been studying Italian for over 10 years. I have not had any formal courses, but I am very committed and spend some time each day studying Italian. I try my best to learn not only conversational Italian, but also correct Italian grammar as well as correct pronunciation, spelling, etc This is very difficult for me. I wish that I could make much faster progress, but I want to learn everything as correctly as possible. I hope one day to be fluent in Italian.

Once again - thank you.
