Question 47

Explain how to say "some of" or "some" in italian

Answer 47

The partitive article appears before singular nouns like del miele, del caffè, del burro (some honey, some coffee, some butter) as well as before plural nouns of an unspecified amount dei libri, delle ragazze, degli studenti (some books, some girls, some students).​ In the simplest terms, it can be defined as meaning "some," but you may also use it to mean "any" or even "a few" when it is meant to be a rough estimate. The partitive is expressed by the Italian preposition "di," which typically means "of" or "from," combined with the definite article, like "il" or "le." For example: Lo ho delle cravatte blu. – I have a few blue ties. Lei beve del caffè. – She is drinking some coffee. Lo esco con dei compagni. – I go out with some friends. Lui vuole del burro. – He would like some butter. Noi abbiamo soltanto della zuppa e un paio di cornetti. – We only have some soup and a couple of croissants.

Question 106

How do you express past tense?

Answer 106

In Italian, the most common way to express past tense is with the passato prossimo (present perfect). It's formed by using the present tense of the auxiliary verb "avere" (to have) or "essere" (to be), followed by the past participle of the main verb. Here's a breakdown: Auxiliary Verbs: "Avere" is used with most verbs, while "essere" is used with verbs of movement, being, and some reflexive verbs. Past Participle: This is the form of the main verb used to complete the past tense. Regular Verbs: -are verbs: Remove "-are" and add "-ato" (e.g., "parlare" becomes "parlato"). -ere verbs: Remove "-ere" and add "-uto" (e.g., "credere" becomes "creduto"). -ire verbs: Remove "-ire" and add "-ito" (e.g., "sentire" becomes "sentito"). Irregular Verbs: Many verbs have irregular past participles (e.g., "bere" (to drink) becomes "bevuto", "fare" (to do/make) becomes "fatto").
