In this preview of Le piccole parole – Episodio 2 – Part 3, we return to our exploration of one of the hardest-working little words in Italian: di.
--> Link to Post for Transcript for this episode <--
In the full version we explore di in comparisons, time expressions, adjectives that naturally take di, and a final collection of common verbs and fixed expressions you'll hear every day in Italian. Along the way, we'll also answer an important question: when does Italian use che instead of di in comparisons?
Antonio shares a short story inspired by real events, packed with examples of di in action. You'll hear it first at slow speed, then again at a more natural pace, before we finish with a practical framework that will help you recognise what di is doing whenever you encounter it.
By the end of the episode, you'll have far more than a translation of di. You'll have a way of thinking about it.
