we kinda use reflexive pronouns in english to show the strong emotion thing as well, like "I'm going to have myself a cozy night in" or "I'm going to get myself one of those".
I would have told the girl to improve her self - esteem. Clearly she doesn't like herself so she thinks others are making fun of her. Also...I love your explanation and your voice is a joy to listen to. Thank you for this video !
I think this format and video is fantastic. I instinctively paused the video to read the passage in Italian and then translate to English. When I unpaused you did the exact same thing, allowing me to check myself. As always, your explanation was clear and concise. Three types of reflexive verbs ... so helpful! I love that there is a short quiz at the end so we can check our grasp of the concepts. Very valuable and helpful lesson!! Thank you.
I've been struggling with reflexive verbs and I really feel as if this helped me to have a better grasp of the concept. You are such a great teacher and I'm so glad I found your channel!!
DIO MIO! I happened upon Stefano’s Chanel and I was just listening to the two of you speak--I found I could understand you much better than him. I just looked up italianbites and watched this lesson. YOU ARE THE BEST ITALIAN TEACHER ON RU-vid OR ANYWHERE ELSE I’VE SEEN. The style and quality of format of the video is also superb. Where have you been all my life? Bless you and infinite thanks. Best wishes for a superb career
Mamma mia che super complimento ☺ thank you so much for being here! I am so honored to see that you spent some time looking at my content and find it useful 🤩 your commment got me super pumped, grazie infinite!!
Hello I’m learning Italian and your videos have been super helpful! I was wondering if you could make a video about what to cover and what to learn to start advancing in Italian? I have just started with verbs, subject pronouns, and now reflexive verbs. It would be super helpful to know where to go from here. Thank you!
I really like, and appreciate, the detail that you go into on your videos. Would it be possible to dissect some technical names of certain grammar ? I've seen the first ( invariable ) part of a verb called the root and I've also seen it called the stem. Is the Present Continuous another name for Present Progressive ? Why is Passato Prossimo called ' Near Past ' when it's not always ? Imperfetto means Imperfect but in a not completed way. Would it be also possible to have the 12 ? grammatical tenses of English on one side of the screen and the Italian ones on the other and explain where they overlap and where ( and why ) they don't ? Is it possible to also do it with modes. moods ?
great explanation. But can you explain this sentence "non capisco cosa ci dicano", I understand what the sentence means but don't understand how the grammar works :(
I am using Duolingo to learn and I have not had a real class before (in Italian). I am confused about the endings of the verb forms. Here are some examples: ero sentita, aveva lavorato, era ricordato, ha preso.
Per favore, potresti dirmi se i pronomi sono reflessivi o indiretti in questi esempi. 1) Mi faccio un panino. 2) Ti faccio un panino. 3) Si faccia un panino. So che 2) è indiretto.
1) riflessivo (farsi un panino, bersi una birra, mangiarsi una pizza non sono verbi riflessivi di per sé, ma indicano un'azione fatta "per sé" con un certo apprezzamento/godimento) 2) indiretto, come hai detto tu 3) uguale al numero 1, solo formale Spero che questo sia di aiuto!!
