Le piccole parole | Episodio 7, Parte 1B | La preposizione SU

Send me a voicemail

In Part 1B of our exploration of the Italian preposition SU, we discover how this little word helps us look upward, describe a view, encourage someone, and express ourselves in everyday conversation.

We'll explore expressions such as su con la vita, su per giù, and sul serio, along with verbs that naturally pair with SU, including contare su, fare affidamento su, and riflettere su.

Then we return to the mercatino, where Paolo's nonna's handwritten recipes inspire the idea of creating a book. But there's something else waiting to be discovered in her old recipe box.

And what about Studente Saggio Paul's prediction? Could it still come true?

Listen, learn with me, and keep making your predictions!
