English term or phrase: What about? About love.
Commedia teatrale. Scena tra moglie e marito che hanno appena litigato.


Wife: When was the last time you brought me a flower? When did you last write me a note?
Husband: What about?
Wife: About love.

La mia proposta :

Moglie: Quand’è l’ultima volta che mi hai portato un fiore? E l’ultima volta che mi hai scritto un bigliettino?
Marito: Di cosa?
Moglie: D’amore.

Cerco soluzioni migliori per rendere in maniera coerente l'"about" presente in domanda e risposta. Grazie!

Di che tipo? D'amore
Explanation:
Tradurre "what about?" con "di che tipo?" secondo me mette l'accento sull'atteggiamento pragmatico e scarsamente sentimentale del marito, in contrasto con il desiderio di romanticismo della moglie.
