Cristina B: 07:26 Jul 1, 2008: Thank you, Michelangelo. I like films and acting, so I enjoyed this Kudoz question.

nice and easy

Explicación:
There are different variations that could be used depending on the context. In this context, I think "nice and easy" works well.
"Come with me so I can explain it to you nice and easy!"

"NICE AND SLOW" is another good option.

Coincido

Dave 72: I can imagine these lines being spoken by an actor in an American accent!

28 minutos

-> Thank you very much, Dave. Yes, I think this would sound very natural to a native speaker and because of the "aria un pò minacciosa", I think it's also very appropriate because of the slightly condescending nuance of "nice and easy" used in this way.

Coincido

Aray: It seems the best choice, considering the context. As for "unhurriedly" and "without rushing", both are very valid answers, although, "nice and easy" is definitely the best

-> Thank you very much, Aray.

Neutral

forli: maybe pedantic but shouldn`t it be ".....easily"? I suppose it depends on the character. Yes, I`m only making the point that the expression may be used, for example, by a cowboy, but perhaps not by a professor of English language.

1 hora

-> I can only speak for the U.S. where I am from, but here, "nice and easy" is a set expression and I think that changing it to "nice and easily" would sound a bit unnatural, especially in this context and given that it is spoken rather than written English.

Coincido

Francesco D'Arcangeli: I like it, especially considering the "aria minacciosa"

1 hora

-> Thank you very much, Francesco. I appreciate your response. To continue my comment from above, Forli, I respect your committment to accuracy and if not for the set expression, I would have preferred to use the adverb form as you suggested.

Jim Tucker: good one! ("easily" made me laugh; "nice and easy-like" could be an option, if a bit antiquated))

-> Thank you very much, Jim. Yes, I agree. I could see somebody saying "nice and easy-like", too.

Coincido

TrishCivitella: Yes, "nice and easy" is a set expression in other English-speaking countries too!

1 día20 horas

-> Thank you very much, Trish. Yes, I thought it was a set expression in other countries, too, but after receiving the comment about "easily", I wondered if in other countries, "easily" might be another option though here where I 'm from it sounds unnatural.
