How do you say it’s my turn in Italian?
Tocca a me
This comes from toccare (to touch) and a me (to me).
Tocca a me!
It’s my turn!
For example, you can say…
Hai giocato abbastanza. Ora tocca a me!
You’ve played enough. Now it’s my turn!
Spetta a me!
Spetta a me is a slightly more formal translation of it’s my turn in Italian. It features the verb spettare, which means “to be entitled to”.
Spetta a me!
It’s my turn!
Spetta a me is more formal than tocca a me, but it also has a different meaning: spetta a me has a tinge of responsability, “it’s up to me”, as in the example below:
Ieri sera hai lavato tu i piatti. Ora spetta a me.
Last night you did the dishes. Now it’s my turn.
Or, with the “you” pronoun…
Spetta a te portare fuori il cane stasera!
It’s up to you to take the dog out tonight!
Tocca a me… or mi tocca?
Mi tocca has nothing to do with it’s my turn in Italian. Mi tocca translates as “it’s up to me”, or “I have to”. It has a tinge of laziness: you don’t want to do this thing, but you have to.
Oggi mi tocca lavare le lenzuola.
I have to wash my sheets today.
