Very useful episode - I had the same kind of experience once in Italy. I did not know what to say (in Italian) - I wish I had listened to this episode then… Thanks for this!

Una domanda - questa frase:

“Mm, mi sa che ha ragione, signorina.”

Why is it “sa” - 3rd person?
I have not seen a sentence like this before.
I guess I was expecting something like:

Credo che abbia raggione.

Thanks for your help, Dan

Ciao Massimo,

Got my answer to MI SA CHE in lesson 49.
Idiomatic expression. Grazie!
