ITALIAN LESSON - GRAMMAR - part 1 [Definite Articles]

[KBAFourthtime]

Oh. I see. "Gli" is actually used not only in plural for masculine nouns that start with "Z" or with "S" (the latter letter before a consonant) for the plural of any nouns that start with a vowel, whether they are masculine or feminine.

[KBAFourthtime]

"Lo" (sing.) and "gli" are for masculine nouns that start with "s" before any consonant that can come after it and those starting with "z", right? "L'" is for all nouns starting with any noun that starts with a vowel, whether it's singular or plural and masculine or feminine, right?

Help! I have met an Italian and need to know how to say." You have an interesting username where does it originate from? My Italian is very basic. But i am learning fast..I hope you enjoy the video I am sending you. Many regards...."

If anybody could translate this into Italian for me I would appreciate it. Thanks!!!!!

PS

I am doing a beginners course in Italian but I am finding it rather difficult. Unfortunately I only speak and write English!

[stoneoffarel]

[pauradelbuio]

can you explain me the meaning of the italian word "diarrea" plz??????? thx...

[milly8389]

i am italian i am curious why you are studing italian language? anyway italian is a very hard language to learn. It's simple only for french and spanish people which have a very similiar grammar and words.

ciao

[redcrimson718]

@milly8389 I think it is easier than French becasue in Italian you pronounce all of the letters. English is my native language.

[alfriendo2008]

@milly8389 Could you possibly spare the time to translate my comment below this one. Many Thanks.

Alan

[milly8389]

@alfriendo2008 ciao so the translating is: "You have an interesting username where does it originate from? " = " hai un interessante username da dove viene?" but there are many different ways to say the same question. Anyway the form TU is informal so with friends and relatives.

[alfriendo2008]

@milly8389 Fantastic;and so very helpful. Grazie!!

[19850718taco]

I love italian and love this music too :D

[fenderguy0982]

Will knowing a fair amount of Latin and spanish help with Italian? I feel as if this is a super easy language from what I've been studying online... but it's not.

[eheheh1986]

italians is more complicated as gramma than english,french,chinese,because every word has a meaning,and grammar is very hard,trust me,there isnt any  language maybe except spanish verbs

[milly8389]

@eheheh1986 il francese e' sicuramente piu' complicato dell'italiano in quanto ogni parola scritta e' pronunciata diversamente. Per il resto la grammatica e' realmente molto molto simile all'italiano.

[RobinSpence100]

I wish you'd make more learning italian videos. I like your style-gracie!

[Kane000Geno]

jesus christ and i thought learning spanish was hard xO

[RobinSpence100]

Like the calming effect from your video if only more teachers could implement this into learning it'd be great! Gracie!

[Rifornitore33]

@RobinSpence100

[Aveiond]

[Saudi7Girl]

GOOD ..

THANKS

[AquilaDelPiemonte]

Not bad, but for coomprensive visual, audio, and verbally integrated lessons look up Italian Lessons by pietro

[JoranTor]

I agree !! this is not a good video !!! you need to explain by yourself !!! and you need to put more explanation

[FrenchLanguage]

How do you pronouce them? This is not a good video without someone reading the correct pronountiation.

[foxtrot917]

this is not a video for beginners it is for working on your grammer.

[s1umz]

lo studente,lo scolaro=the student

lo sportello=the door

lo spirito santo=the holy spirit

[vJpRIzM]

This IS RIDICULOUS!!!! I didnt learn a thing.

what are the rules-

[misonoscocciata]

italian is the most difficult language in the world, there are a lot of rules, this makes it perfect and beautiful

[AmoLitaliano]

misonoscocciata: Chinese more difficult, and Japonese, sorri.

[misonoscocciata]

e tu vorresti mettere a confronto la complessità della grammatica italiana con quella cinese o giapponese? sempre se ce l'hanno una grammatica...una sola parola..ops simbolo ha tremila significati..che grezzi

[jenjis556]

eheh it's not the most difficult language! comunque l'italiano è una lingua piu bella del mondo!

[misonoscocciata]

do you know italian? I think, if you knew it u wouldn't say so

[JoranTor]

Hahaha you dont know the languages !!! Italian is really easy!! it appears to Spanish !!! the most difficult are Chinese, Japanese, Switzer and French !!! but not Italian

[misonoscocciata]

do you know italian? no! so shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sagitter001]

french isn't difficult! the italian grammar is the most difficult in the world

[Rifornitore33]

@JoranTor study italian grammar and will see! ;) Italian is very hard

[ivasenko48]

@Rifornitore33 It's not as hard as Polish!

[foxtrot917]

Italian is easier than any other language but you need the right teacher and by that i mean you need more than " the pen is on the table" you need to learn culture as well Italian is the 5th language i learned and it is well worth the effort i went through to become profficent if you are interested in learning the language msg me and i can show you some exciting sites.

[SuperCasino77]

@foxtrot917 Ciao Foxtrot Io imparando l'italiano. can you help me. i believe its something like poiue tarume. msg me some sites.

[Micfly752]

..oh sorry. I must add that

LO is used for all masculine substantives that begin to Z or for masculine substantives which first letter is an S followed by a consonant. (lo sCeriffo, lo sTupido)

Words that start to an S followed by a vocal (A,E,I,O,U) use IL as article. (il sErpente, il sIlenzio, il sAnto).

[Micfly752]

Nice lesson.Just a specification...very simple:

LO is used for all masculine and singular substantives that begin to S or Z.

(lo stivale, lo zaino, lo zoo, lo stereo)

LO and LA become L' when the substantive begins to A,E,I,O,U.

(l'altro, l'oro, l'ultimo)

[xilpix]

il, lo, la, i, gli, le; it's easy, also a baby know this.

[xilpix]

(-;

[EnzeiChan]

LO is used especially for words that begin to ST-

[tinkerbell3798]

first of all thank you very much for that.

i dont understand though when i say il and when lo? whats the difference?

[ViolaGirl]

waiting for the next lesson :) Grazie
