This is the first time I hear you speak in English and your accent is American! Makes sense of course I don't know what I expected but it makes me wonder if I will speak with a Milano accent
Grazie! Currently I’m a student in the process of learning Italian. I’m in second level and feel I need to review so much I have forgotten from the first level of class. Recently I came across your channel, it has been so helpful!
Certo! I agree with the last person that commented - this video has really cleared up some of the questions I've had on this topic. I had just come across some exercises using this bit of grammar and found myself totally confused so thank you so much. And those last four verbs.... whoa! Anyway, grazie mille!
Ciao! I love your lessons, I have no trouble understanding grammar ( your explanation is perfectly clear), my problem is poor memory, which probably you have no remedy for. Nevertheless I'm enjoying the course. I' m a devoted fan of Italy and yours as well. Greetings
I have just found this video - perfect for me - great teaching style. I was pausing the video and making notes - I started to think about ascoltare and referred back the verbs of written and oral communication - and then the next minute of the video answered my question. Really helpful - I have subscribed and will look for more of your videos - Thank you.
Your videos are so good! When I can't understand something, I always come to your channel and have a ha moments! Thank you so much for the excellent work!
I’ve been struggling with the pronouns but I found your explanation really simple. You broke it down perfectly and I really understood it. Thanks so much! I subscribed!! I would be very interested in a video about pronouns with the imperative too!! 😍
Wow super informative! I studied already German as third language and still found it quite hard to understand! But you made it very clear! Grazie mille!
😮🎉 sei molto bravo! A dire la verità mai ho sentito un italiano parlate così bene l'inglese! (Senza l'acento) Complimenti. Molti dicono "eppy"(happy) "mekk å" (mac), 😊 non solo parli bene l'inglese ma anche sei un ottimo insegnante🎉
Subscribed because I can see that I’m going to learn from your content. Trying to learn & understand these pronouns has been driving me crazy but with your clear explanations I feel more confident in tackling them. Thank-you. 👍👍👍
I was a little confused with the last example. I thought il professore was a direct pronoun because the students are responding to him directly. But the “al” preposition before does help with distinguishing direct vs indirect. Awesome lesson!
I thought the al professore would use the indirect objection pronoun Le, as it would be the formal you as he is a professor and not gli. Can you please clarify ?
@@amberabrahams6344 ciao! You would be using Le if you were talking directly to the professor. Here we are saying “him” not “you” (formal). That’s why we need to use “gli”, because “al professore” is an indirect object masculine and singular third person :)
This was exactly what i was looking for. I trascripted all the information you provided because they are VERY useful. Here is a Like and a sub. Grazie mille!!!!.
Molto ben spiegato, grazie! Anch'io insegno la lingua. Piccoli particolari: Consiglierei solo di usare un font come Tahoma, perche' spesso I in maiuscolo e L in minuscolo sono uguali. Meglio dire "review" invece di revise (to edit/change). Quando spiego l'oggetto indiretto, dico che la persona riceve l'azione ma solo indirettamente, come "I throw you the ball." When you say the action is directed to the person, it sounds too similar to "direct" object. Comunque, la lezione e' ottima. Bravissimo, Stefano!
Dear Stefano, can you explain how you determine when to put the direct and indirect object pronoun in the "new" sentence? I see it sometimes at the beginning of the sentence and sometimes in the middle of the sentence and I wonder how is it determined? Thank you very much in advance. I learn so much from your videos!
I'm not sure what you mean, but in Italian the pronouns generally come before the verb, unless the verb is in the indicative form, in which case they are fused onto the end of the verb. It's tricky if you are a native English speaker, because we put the direct object pronoun AFTER the verb. For example, 'Do you eat the pizza? Yes, I eat IT.' But in Italian, it's 'Mangia la pizza? Si, la mangio.' So in this case, the 'it' comes before the verb. With an infinitive, it can also be placed on the end lf the verb. 'Posso mangiare la pizza? Si, puo mangiarla.' Good luck, and keep practicing.
