As Melissa told you, yes, that's the general meaning
In "that's OK", what is 'okay' is the fact that she is scared, and in "just do it scared", 'it' = walking down the stairwell.
Here the first flowers in my garden, I wanted to take some other and better picture but the batteries of the camera needed to be recharged. So, next time!

Yes but our professor said that it's better if we found a real newspaper article, I mean on paper or magazines.
Some newspaper's sites have got at least the last ten or twenty editions... but I haven't found nothing really interesting...
Luca,
Grammar review:
"but I haven't found nothing really interesting... "
Double negatives are incorrect in English. Here you would say
"but I haven't found anything really interesting..."
In English the two negatives are perceived as canceling each other out, as in a mathematical expression, rather than intensifying the negative sense as they do in Italian.

And what about Italian....Is it correct to say:non ho trovato niente or it's better to say:ho trovato niente...
The viburnum in the picture with flowers and no leaves is probably v. bodnantense. I have several v. tinus in my garden and they seed themselves around very easily. I didn't know viburnums are often grafted! I've been looking for v. davidii for a while, I love it's leaves.
Belvedere the negative form is often formed using the auxiliary verb 'do'.
'Do you have to prepare a research'? or you could say 'Have you got to do a research'?
Questions like these often have a 'short answer' such as 'yes, I do'.
Melissa will tell you that Americans don't use 'have got' but the English do.
With more specific questions we use a 'question word (what why...) and with some of these whether you need to use 'do' depends on what you are asking about. Do you want information on the subject or object in the answer.
Here is a simple sentence and two answers, think about the differences & explain them to us!
Who likes chocolate?
He likes chocolate
What does John like?
With modal verbs such as can, may ... use the modal first as you did 'Can you explain what you need'?
I agree with Melissa on languages in schools here, I refused to let my youngest daughter continue with English at school because her pronunciation was getting worse!
My daughters have had some very good teachers and they both passed their high school exams with 100 points.
Some teachers just don't want to work and others seem to have given up! I'm not talking just about language but all subjects.
I also think that teachers don't have the power to control their students anymore and a lot of mothers are certain it's the teacher who is to blame & not their little angel!
I have a 16 year old student who still doesn't know the verb 'to be', the articles or present simple! She probably did it at elementary school, she did it at the middle school, she did it on a course with me & she is now doing it again at high school AND coming to me for lessons! She just doesn't want to learn!

Harma,
I was waiting for a native speaker to answer your question on double negatives in Italian, but so far no one has said anything. It's my understanding that double negatives are perfectly fine in Italian. Of your two sentences,
"non ho trovato niente" sounds perfectly correct, to me, while "ho trovato niente" sounds, not merely less satisfactory, but actually wrong.
I would appreciate confirmation, or contradiction, from an Italian.

harma &co,
in italian usually we say "non ho trovato niente".
we never say "ho trovato niente".
many years ago people said also "non ho trovato alcuna cosa".. (it's grammatically correct but at present nobody say anything like this!)
but if you want say "we have no chance to win" in italian it is: "non abbiano nessuna possibilità di vincere" or better "non abbiamo alcuna possibilità di vincere".
as well as sometimes we say "abbiamo zero possibilità di vincere"...
sorry, i don't know why/either how to explain this...:storto:

It's not easy to explain certain things isn't it Belvedere?
I'll never be able to explain my language to the people :ros:
Tomorrow I go to the first flower show of springtime,and I have to control myself....
I'm only here for 10 days, I came on my own because my daughters are studying & looking for work. My husband doesn't like holidays which is just as well as someone has to look after the animals! I really, really needed a break from work, house, taxi driver, cook, more work and so on and on! I feel better already. Today I'm going for a walk around town and I'll take some photos. Someone will have to explain to me how to put them on here.
