| Hello everyone, welcome back to italianpod101.com. |
| My name is Desy, mi chiamo Desy, mi chiamo Desy and in this video, we're going to talk about the verb TO NEED. |
| avere bisogno di |
| In Italian, unfortunately, there is not one simple word to translate the verb TO NEED. |
| Technically, there is the verb TO NEED and that's bisognare. |
| But you never see it in this form, it's actually only used in the third person, but for the impersonal form. |
| Because from bisognare, it would be io bisogno to bisogni, it doesn't exist really. |
| And lei or lui, third person, bisogna, but as I was saying, it's used with the impersonal form. |
| There is the need to buy bread. |
| To learn a new language, bisogna studiare. |
| You need to study. |
| There is the need to study. |
| It is necessary to study. |
| So one way to translate the verb TO NEED is bisogna plus infinitive form. |
| Bisogna studiare, bisogna comprare, or bisogna mangiare and so on. |
| But the most common way to translate the verb TO NEED is actually avere bisogno di. |
| So you use the verb TO HAVE, avere, and need as in noun, avere bisogno di. |
| I have the need of. |
| In this case, you only need to conjugate the verb TO HAVE, right? |
| Tu hai bisogno di aiuto? |
| Do you need help? |
| Hai bisogno di aiuto. |
| Marta ha bisogno di una borsa nuova. |
| Marta needs a new bag. |
| Marta ha bisogno di una borsa nuova. |
| Noi abbiamo bisogno di una vacanza. |
| We need a vacation. |
| Abbiamo bisogno di una vacanza. |
| La vostra macchina fa un rumore strano. |
| La vostra macchina fa un rumore strano. |
| Your car makes a weird noise. |
| Forse avete bisogno di farla controllare. |
| Forse, maybe, avete bisogno di farla controllare. |
| Maybe you need to have it checked. |
| Gli atleti hanno bisogno di molte energie per allenarsi. |
| Athletes hanno bisogno, need, a lot of energy to train, to workout. |
| Gli atleti hanno bisogno di molta energia per allenarsi. |
| You see, we conjugated the whole verb TO HAVE |
| and that's the only thing that needs to change, |
| you ought to while we are, etc. |
| Bisogno di. |
| And that's the most common way to translate to need. |
| Another way which is really similar to the impersonal bisogna |
| is there is the need of. |
| So literally, there is the need of buying bread. |
| I'm not saying that that's me who needs that. |
| Again, it's impersonal. |
| There's no need to do like that. |
| There is the need to study. |
| So I'm not telling you, hai bisogno di studiare, |
| but I'm just saying in general, you know, there is the need to study. |
| Maybe being a bit polite. |
| Let me know if you need help. |
