Italian

5 Written Questions

1. Replace the noun which is indirectly affected by the verb. That means that a preposition, usually "a or per" comes between the verb and the noun receiving the action.
   I.O.P are used based on the effect of the verb.
   Essempio: Piacere, telefonare and mandare are verbs which take I.O.P because in italian we must telefonare a QC, piacere a QC and mandare qual cosa a QC
   I.O.P replaces the preposition and the noun
   MI : to/ for me
   TI : to/ for you
   GLI/LE : to/ for him/ her
   CI : to/ for us
   VI : to/ for you (p)
   GLI/LORO : to/ for them
2. When there is a mixed group of both male and female, the masculine plural form of the noun will be used.
   Essempio: Gli amici - could mean a group of ALL male friends or a mixed group of male and female friends, a group of a male or female youths would be "i ragazzi" and this could mean a group of male youths only
3. Means to know something or someone
   Io Conosco
   Tu Conosci
   Lui/ Lei Conosce
   Noi Conosciamo
   Voi Conoscete
   Loro Conscono
4. Pronouns take the place of a noun without altering the meaning of a sentence. It english we use it or them as pronouns, but these do not change. In italian the pronoun which replaces the noun must agree in number and in gender with it.Remember that the pronoun in italian will always be found before the verb in the sentence.
   Essempio:
   perche` compri questo caffe`? -Perche lo preferisco
   Io mangio la pasta- Io la mangia ogni sabato
5. Verbs in italian are distinguished by an "si" attached to the end of the infinitive verb. In general these verbs express that we do something to ourselves
   Essempio: lavare to wash something
   lavarsi- to wash oneself
   Reflexive verbs conjugated by removing the "si" from the end of the infinitive and moving it the front, ensuring that the pronoun suits the person doing the action.
   LAVARSI:
   (io) mi lavo
   (tu) ti lavi
   (l/l) si lava
   (noi) ci laviamo
   (voi) vi lavate
   (loro) si lavano
