Questions & Answers about Puoi configurare questa impostazione come vuoi.
The English translation uses "however", but this lesson is about per quanto. Why isn't per quanto used here?
If I used the lesson's grammar and said per quanto tu voglia, how would that change the meaning?
Why doesn't come vuoi take the subjunctive? Shouldn't indefinite ideas like "however you want" use it?
While Italian does use the subjunctive for many indefinite expressions (like chiunque for "whoever"), come vuoi is treated as a fixed, everyday phrase that takes the indicative. Saying come tu voglia isn't strictly ungrammatical, but it sounds unnaturally formal or archaic in modern Italian.
The word impostazione looks like "imposition". Does it always mean "setting"?
