👀 Le piccole parole - Episodio 2 - Part 2 - PREVIEW - Di: del, dello, and the secret life of 'some' - We learn Italian step by step | Impariamo l'italiano piano piano | Lyssna här

You thought di was finished?

Not quite.

In this preview of Di – Part 2, Antonio develops a new hobby: cataloguing every di he can find in Paolo's grandmother's recipe box. Along the way, we stumble across one of the most surprising features of Italian grammar: sometimes del, della, and dei don't mean of the at all.

This preview includes the opening section of the lesson and our first encounter with the partitive.

In the full episode, available to supporters, we explore:

articulated forms (del, dello, della, and the rest)
the partitive and how to recognize it
more verbs that belong to di
additional fixed expressions
and a few more discoveries from Paolo's kitchen.

Piano piano. Un pezzetto alla volta.
