Grammar, CONTINUED

~In Italian, the c sounds like an English k unless it is before an e or i, then it sounds like an English ch. If there's a double cc, both are pronounced (as in cioccolato—choc-co-lato) ~In Italian, all nouns are either masculine (ending in o & using un) or feminine (ending in a & using una). ~In Italian, all verbs change depending on whether it's I (io sono—I am), you (tu sei—you are), he/she (lui/lea è—he/she is) ~Voi— leggete, scrivete, bevete, etc ~Noi— leggiamo, scriviamo, siamo, etc ~Tu— scrive, legge, etc ~Loro— sono ~Io— leggo, sono, ~Gli _____— mangiano When a preposition and an article appear together, they are formed into one word. For example, nello = in + lo, degli = di + gli and in the case above, a + i = ai. The "a" can mean either "to" or "at". One of the legendary practices in unit one has the phrase "La donna legge ai ragazzi" (the woman reads to the boys/children). i = 'the' for plural masculine things eg i ragazzi (the boys). Ai = 'to the' when talking about plural masculine things (eg 'scrivo ai ragazzi' = I write to the boys) Miei is just when saying 'my ...' for plural masculine things eg my dress = il mio vestito - my dresses = i miei vestiti So 'I write to my cousins' would be 'scrivo ai miei cugini' I miei amici = my friends. Leggo il giornale ai miei amici = I read the newspaper TO my friends.

Grammer

~In Italian, the pronouns aren't always necessary ~If the verb form makes it obvious who is speaking or being referred to, the personal pronoun is normally left out. If there is a need to clarify or emphasize who is being spoken about, the personal pronoun is included. ~Nel/nello— in the (singular) used when vowel and st or sc : nello ( nell' if vowel). Other consonants nel. Nel is a bit more common. Nello is used when the next word starts with a vowel and is then combined so it's nell'___ but remains nello with words that start with sc or st. ~The subject is followed by description. Where we would say 'fried chicken', their sentence structure states 'chicken fried'. Such as "Io cucino la crema al cioccolato" translated is " I cook the cream of chocolate", but we would say "I cook the chocolate cream". ~I— plural of il ~Le— plural of la ~Gli— plural of l' for masculine, le for feminine ~Lo— used before masculine nouns that begin with z, x, y, ps, gn, or s followed by consonants ~Non è— in English, it's "is not", but Italian is "not is" ~E means 'and' but changes to ed before a vowel. È is a form of the word 'to be'.

Singular/Plural

~La ragazza/le ragazzi ~Il ragazzo/i ragazzi ~Il giornale/i giornali ~L'elefante/gli elefanti ~Animale/animali ~Feminine singular ends in a, plural changes to e; masculine changes from o to i. Some nouns end in e and change to i. ~Quanti siete— How many of you are there? ~La bambina/Il bambino/I bambini

Tips

1) Voi siete— y'all are 2) Noi siamo— we are 3) Tu sei— you are 4) Loro sono— they are 5) Io sono— I am 6) Lui/lei è— he/she is 7) Io cucino— I cook 8) Tu cucini— you cook 9) Lui/lea cucina— he/she cooks 10) Noi cuciniamo— we cook 11) Voi cucinale— y'all cook 12) Loro cucinano— they cook 13) Non ho— I do not have 14) La sua— her 15) Mio— my/mine 16) La nostra— ours 17) Il suo/I suoi— his 19) Il Loro— their 20) I tuoi— yours 21) Voi— you all 22) Ragno sullo stivale— (spider on the boot) sullo (on the) follows the o in ragno, not the e in stivale 23) E— it/he/she is (pronoun optional) 24) Tardi vs Ritardo— tardi is used according to the time being late. Ritardo is used as a person or an item (train/plane) is late. 25) A/Al/etc— these will go in front of mio, etc, as in the Italian sentence structure: 'to him the elephants are pleasing' as opposed to the English 'he likes the elephants'. Therefore, the word 'to' must be used at the beginning. 26) Spiacente/mi dispiace/scusa— spiacente is formal, mi dispiace, informal, scusa to get attention or, for example, if you step on their foot. 27)
