FrasesDevolver artículosNon funziona più.
A2

Non funziona più.

It no longer works.

Pronunciación

'Più' — PYOO. One syllable. The accent is on the 'u'.

Cuándo usarla

Use for electronics, appliances, or any item that has stopped working after purchase. This implies it worked initially, then broke — a clear manufacturing defect claim.

Qué significa

'Funzionare' means to work (for machines, not people). 'Più' in a negative sentence means 'any more' or 'no longer'. 'Non... più' is a fixed negative construction. Do not say 'non funziona più non' — the negation is only 'non' at the start.

Variaciones

It broke after two days.

Specifies when — strengthens your claim.

Ha smesso di funzionare.

It stopped working.

Slightly more formal.

Non si accende.

It doesn't switch on.

Specific to electronics.

Nota cultural

Italian consumer law (Codice del Consumo) guarantees a 2-year warranty on all products. The seller (not the manufacturer) is responsible. Always claim through the shop where you bought it.
