How to Use PIACERE in Italian: Lesson 1 - Say "to Like" in Italian (Learn Italian Verbs) //// Do you want to take your Italian to the next level? Click here: www.italymadeeasy.com/
#learnitalian #speakitalian #italian
The Italian verb piacere might be the most complicated verb that beginners have to deal with when learning Italian. Due to this, it doesn't surprise me how many people have asked me to put together a video addressing it. I figured, due to how complicated the verb piacere is, I wouldn't create just 1 video, but an entire series! So, watch each video in this series and learn not only how to say to like in Italian, but also how to use piacere in Italian!
BTW- the videos in this series came directly out of my course, From Zero to Italian. Due to this, the videos are focused more on teaching, as opposed to entertaining. So, the videos are a little slower than my usual RU-vid videos, but they contain an incredible amount of value.

Thanks for this lesson... I am a 65 year old, first generation Australian born, post WWII Italian. I was raised speaking Italian (no dialect). I speak a reasonably adequate level of Italian. I find your explanations so interesting and enlightening.

Ciao, Manu! I was an exchange student to Argentina and ended up getting a lot of Italian in the Spanish I learned. Listening to your videos has helped to tease the 2 languages apart. They're so similar . . . And, this 'special needs' student appreciates your time. I think I should just listen to Italian radio or a few movies. Mille grazie!

I speak almost intermediate Spanish but my Italian is improving, with the help of a good tutor and the fact that i can use almost the same principles from the Spanish that i know, I'm hopeful my Italian shouldn't take long to get to intermediate level. Grazie Mani.

@gamzeugur5355 6 лет назад

I really appreciated how you explained the different usage of the verb “piacere” grammatically both in the english and the italian language. I understood it because of my Spanish.Since my native language is not any of the romance languages,it was very difficult for me to understand at first.For someone who is not familiar with a romance language can find it a bit complicated to understand as you have mentioned in your video.I think good teachers are the ones who can explain difficult subjects in their unique way and reach out their students.And Manu you are one of them and you explained it very well... Thank you...☺️✌️

I’ve lived in Italy and have Italian heritage. I’ve been trying to learn italian for years- all the home classes( Rosetta Stone, etc), a University Class, private tutor - you name it. Not until I started with Manu have I made some real progress. He teaches the important tips, things other teachers NEVER tell you- so SO important to real Italian culture and language. He’s the real deal folks.

Mille grazie. I find this explanation helpful... and you're right about how it's probably wrong to introduce this (beyond any basic construction anyway) until we have a handle on IOPs. I literally just came across them using piacere with gli on Duolongo in the fairly basic section, Unit 2, and there were hundreds of user comments about how it was confusing--basically anyone who got this right was either lucky or was more advanced than the section.

That is the only thing i finally understood after 6 weeks of being in Italy the first time because everyone wants to know if you like their pasta, meat, vegetables, their house, italy, sicily.. whenever I tell people all the italian you need to know is THIS. The answer is always, "Si"

In Italian ,for example: mi piace la musica , the subejct( the performer) is “ la musica”; “ la musica” cause an effect of attraction or liking over the “ mi”, so I could say that the music appeals me, the music enchantes me , the music cause the feeling of liking on me, the music seems “very desirable, pleasant, beautiful” to me ; this meaning is expressed as “ I like music” in English. Being so, the verb is conjugated according the “ liked thing” because it is the grammatical subject. Mi piace la música, but mi piacciono gli animale. That is what confuses foreigner learners of languages where the grammatical subject is the “one that feels the liking”. In Spanish, Italian and so, “ you don’t like A” , but “ A attracts you with a feeling of liking, A influences over you”. I think it is better if you put the feeling of what you want to express and learn by blocks: (mi) piace questa mela, (mi) piacciono le mele piccole, (mi ) piaci tu molto .... then, you just change the “mi” by others... ci piace questa mela, ci piacciono le mele piccolo, ci piaci tu molto... another trick, after having understood that the real meaning of “ piacere” is “ to seem likable” ( and not to like) , could be to practice the conjugation like this : (first position: the affected object, but forget this for the meantime) first the verb, then the subject , as a block.

@KaratePath 6 лет назад

For spanish it would be... "Me gusta la manzana" = "Mi piace la mela" Gusta/Piace "Me gustaN laS manzanaS" ? "Mi piaccono le mele" "piaccono/le/mele (Formas Plurales) No se le agrega la S, osea no son "las melas", sino más bien sería como el similar en inglés que el singular y plural cambia es una letra, como decir Man vs Men (Singular/Plural). Entonces al parecer en italiano la forma de estructurar los verbos es igual al español, pero los plurales cambian las palabras en vez de añadir la S

@tshantel3749 4 года назад

I'm having so much trouble understanding why the sentences are not written like it is said verbatim?🤔🤯🥰😂 I speak American English and for instance, if I say, "I'm learning to speak Italian", it translates as just that, but in Italian, Spanish and maybe quite a few other languages, I don't understand why what u say is not written like how u say it, if that makes any sense???😁 I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining bcuz I'm loving every minute of this experience and I command myself to stay with it and learn as much as I can, I just get so confused about why other languages just don't construct their sentences the American way, by just writing what they say the way they say it verbatim??? 🤗 ARRIVEDERCI guys! Stay with it, as will I!😂 Oooooh!!! Did u catch that I write in run on sentences too!😂 Let's just face it, it's how we naturally speak vocally right? A Domani...I think...????🤔...🤗😁😂👍❤️ Manu to the rescue, Prego! I know that I'm probably breaking all of the grammar rules. Correction is probably needed here!😁❤️👍 Bye for now...

@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN 4 года назад

T'Shantel it is written exactly like how you say it. For example, in Italian, to ask someone’s age it is “quanti anni hai” , literally “how many years you have or how many years do you have”, that is the way of asking someone’s age. It is translated to English as “how old are you” because that’s how it is said in English. When leaning a new language, it is not going to be word for word just translated into the other language, things are literally said differently as well. It’s the same in Thai (my native language), to ask someone’s age is literally asking “how many years you have”. So it’s not that they are saying one thing and then writing another, they are saying exactly what they are writing, it’s cause in English those word for word translated does not have a meaning, thus they have to translate it to what it means in English. It’s hard for a monolingual speaker to fully grasp but if you speak two languages, you will know exactly what I mean right away.

Hector - Los plurales fueron difíciles para mí cuando comencé a estudiar italiano (el inglés es mi lengua materna y aprendí español como segundo idioma) Ahora no :)

You are kidding, right? Because I have a long list of things in English that don’t make sense at all in my native language! The struggle is real when you are learning a different language and that’s the beauty of it.

I lived in Italy for years and speak Italian quite well but my Achilles heal is ‘ piacere’. I can say easily - I like we like - without a problem but once I get into - he likes, she likes, they like - I find myself at sea. In fact, I think I once offended an Italian friend innocently as I got the grammar wrong. So, thank you for spending some time on this.

@laurettascalzo5932 6 лет назад

Although it's not an EXACT equivalent, Manu... we have the expression, in English: It appeals to me. Plural - They appeal to me. So, in a similar way, the verb goes with the number/object rather than the subject.

@yall2743 2 года назад

How about Do you like to peal apples. Peal is an action verb.. and apple an object. Do you stay with piace for the verb or piaccono for plural apples?

@shining-ana418 4 года назад

In German, it's similar to "mir/dir/Ihnen/ihr/ihm gefällt es, ..." or "mir/dir/Ihnen/ihr/ihm gefallen die + Plural". (I think this is obvious for German speakers, but it might help English speakers who have learned some German a lot more here)

@ogeidnomar4601 3 года назад

Manu can we think of verbs like "piacere" as reaction verbs? Because if we are using the "indirect object pronouns"- mi ti gli le Le ci vi gli... and "la mela, la musica" is the subject then where is the "Direct object" in this sentence?

In spanish and it seems in Italian, , if I say "i like....", there is no exact translation. The reason I see is that the sentence is "it pleases me...." He does a better job at explaining what or who is doing the action, the thing pleases me.

@6beforebreakfast 6 лет назад

Ciao Manu! Ho vedo questo video parecchie volte è ho incontrato una un'altra forma di frase che quella sembra usare la stessa sistema. Ecco: "Mi interesso la storia." È vero che le due uso lo stesso modello? Ci sono altri verbi che seguire la stessa forma? (Sono ci altri? Ci sono?.... le domande sono molte!) Grazie mille!

@italymadeeasy 6 лет назад

Ciao Sarah! La frase alternativa e corretta è "Mi interessa la storia" Sì la domanda corretta è " Ci sono altri verbi che seguono la stessa forma?" Se hai altri dubbi scrivici pure, possiamo prendere spunto dalle tue idee per uno dei prossimi video - Italy Made Easy Staff-

@tshantel3749 4 года назад

Hello again! I understand that this video is about understanding how to use, when to use, and why this verb is used in these ways and I am so confused!🤯🤣 I am an English speaking person in America, attempting to teach myself some basic beginner Italian with these videos! I want to know if I could just use the English equivalent of the Italian words that I would like to use to construct the words or phrases that I would like to convey, just for speaking Italian not necessarily to write it, for right now anyway? I just literally started last night trying teaching myself a few simple words and phrases just to get an understanding about what simple, basic words mean on their own, in Italian. I've noticed that in Italian, the word ARRIVEDERLA actually means goodbye, but in some situations, sometimes when someone means goodbye, they'll say ARRIVEDERCI, and as I'm understanding on my translation device that ARRIVEDERCI actually means later!??????🤨🤔🤯😁. Why is this? Also, if I were to say something like "The sun is up", and just for speaking purposes ONLY, could I just use the Italian individual words for this each word in this English sentence and be understood by a native Italian? For instance, if I want to say the sun is up, in true Italian, the way it would properly be written, but instead, used the English equivalent of each of those Italian words in that sentence as they would be if they were just the individual word on it's on, not as it would be correctly written in Italian? I hope I didn't confuse u. I want to learn correctly, but right now I'm just learning single individual words and how to pronounce them correctly, so please, if you can answer my question, I'd greatly appreciate it. Is PREGO appropriate here for the word "please" or is per favore the correct form of usage here? 🤯😁👍. I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! 🥰 I'm learning many things, some things correctly even, but I'm REALLY CONFUSED A LOT!!!!!!!!😮😱😵🤯😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONTENT!❤️ I don't know how to make those Italian punctuation things, but I'm sure you will know what I mean!🤗😂

@italymadeeasy 4 года назад

Italian language is not so easy to learn. 😉There are lots of grammar rules and, moreover, tons of “linguistic nuances” so that you can say the same thing in three different ways or you can use three different words to say what in english is express by a single word. 😜 Well, of course it is possible to speak using single words connected by the verb in the infinitive form and then hoping to be understood anyway. In this way you can relate to an italian speaker but probably you’ll not be able to understand what he/she is answering you.😵 In Italian there are two different ways to speak with someone: one informal (then using the “tu”, the 2nd person singular) and one formal (then using the “lei”, the 3rd person singular). “ArrivederLA” is a formal way to say “arrivederci”; very common in the past, now it’s a little bit obsolete but used in some Italian Regions. Sometimes you can use “prego” where in english you would use “please”… but usually we tend to use “per piacere/per favore/per cortesia”.

@tshantel3749 4 года назад

Manu, OMG! 🤨🤔😮😵🤯🥵😭😭😭😭! I'm soooooo CONFUSED! But I'm determined to learn this! Idk if the correct way to say "thank you Manu" in Italian is 'Manu grazie" or "grazie Manu" or if either way works or not???? At any rate, GRAZIE!!!!! Manu😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

@italymadeeasy 10 месяцев назад

Hehe, well, it's a great solution! 😉

@paulbarton397 6 лет назад

Perhaps I over simplify when I liken 'piacere' to the Spanish verb 'gustar.' But the difficulty around the later revolves around the way in which English usage creates the false conception that "liking" something and "loving" something are points on a continum rather than two completely different concepts that happen to have features in common.

@italymadeeasy 6 лет назад

No, you are not over simplifying! PIACERE works the same as the Spanish GUSTAR! Bravo!
