How and when to use "ecco" in Italian
1) The word "ECCO" can introduce the appearance of something or somebody.
Let's see some examples:
A: Hey! What are you doing here?
B: I'm waiting for my mother and my father!
[The parents appear]
A: HERE are your parents! --- ECCO i tuoi genitori!
A: When does the train come?
[The train is coming, they see it]
B: Oh, HERE is the train! --- Oh, ECCO il treno!
ECCO can be used also with the direct pronouns (mi, ti, lo, la, ci, vi, li, le), depending on which person or thing is appearing:
A: When are going to be here?
[B appears]
B: HERE I am! --- ECCOMI!
A: Where's your dog?
B: HERE IT is, it's behind you! --- ECCOLO, è dietro di te!
2) Sometimes, the word "ECCO" is used to "fill" a sentence at its beginning, to take time and think about what to say.
A: Can you give me a ride to the airport later?
B: WELL... actually, I don't think I can... my car has been stolen... (WELL... --- ECCO...)
A: Really?!
3) Finally, ECCO is used in some Italian expressions, such as:
Ecco perché: means “that's why”.
A: I'm so happy!
B: Why?
A: We've reached more than 100 k subscribers to our RU-vid channel!
B: Aaaah, that's why (=ecco perché)!
Ecco fatto: means “I've finished”, “I've done what I had to do”.
A: Can you turn off the air conditioner?
[B turns it off]
B: Done! (=Ecco fatto)!
Ecco cosa succede quando... : means “these are the consequences when...”
A: I've been fired!
B: That's what happens when you don't work well! (=Ecco cosa succede quando non si lavora bene!)
Ecco come... = means “this is how...”
A: I can't turn on my phone!
[B turns it on]
B: This is how you do it! (=Ecco come si fa!)
